ONCE IN A WHILE
in the middle of
AN ORDINARY LIFE
LOVE
gives us a FAIRY TALE
~ unknown
Their vows to each other were personal, heartfelt and most definitely, beautiful. Though they created a few laughs, Emily and Cory made their message to each other meaningful. To love and honor. Their families and friends from near and far made their day extra special, especially when the wedding was officiated by Cory’s father (Joey Kays) and not to mention a beautiful blessing by Emily’s grandfather (Donald Dixon).
Though simple, their wedding was filled with handmade touches of southern elegance but with a soft, romantic, country flare. Pearls and lace are a couple of Emily’s favorite elements, so her ball gown style wedding dress and belt were the first pieces of her wedding look after saying “YES” to Cory’s proposal in Indianapolis. Being a history buff, she knew she wanted a site full of history and character and the historic White Hall State in Richmond, Kentucky came to mind (even though the location is hundreds of miles away from where they currently reside~ Boston). After a year and half of planning, hand making details, flying and hours of phone calls and emailing, they made it through with much help from their sweet family and friends. Thank the skies for perfect weather, a picturesque venue and LOVE. Yes, so much love.
As I said, SO MUCH LOVE.
EMILY & CORY: Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for the lovely weekend and much gratitude to you and your families for the warmest ‘welcome’, ‘thank yous’ and hugs. We are so lucky.
