Everything You Are

“Throughout our relationship I just knew that she was the one for me and I wanted to do everything I could to make this relationship work,” said the groom of his bride. “I was at a point in my life where I was ready to settle down and take this relationship to the next level.  I think I always knew I wanted to marry Adrienne, but I always said after a year I would propose.”

This Is It

“It was not hard finding my dress; I knew I wanted lace and not a strapless wedding gown,” admitted the bride. “As soon, I put the dress on it just felt good. I literally got chills once I put the dress on and I instantly knew it was the one.”

You’re My Everything

“Jeff is a very giving and loving man,” said Adrienne. “He goes over and beyond to make sure I am okay and happy. He is the most driven man I know outside of my father and that helps me to stay driven. He is very respectful and he treats me like no other man has ever treated me.”

Then I Met You

“I did not initially think true love existed because I have been hurt a lot and I almost sabotaged our relationship in the beginning because I thought what I had found was too good to be true,” said Adrienne. “Jeff reassured me that he was not like any other men I had dealt with and that’s why I married him.”

Sister Circle

One of the bride’s favorite wedding day memories came when she and her sorority sisters shared a special moment. “When my sorority sisters serenaded me with the Sweetheart song and then we strolled. It was great seeing some of my sorority sisters!”
