Grace and Cody got married on May 18th at the beautiful O’Donnell House in Sumter, SC! The weather was warm, it was supposed to rain but it cleared out just in time for them to say, “I do”. Everyone getting ready was so excited to finally see these two get married. The girls were great, they hung out and listened to music and were willing to help Grace with anything she needed.
Three things I noticed about Grace was just how sweet she was all day, even on a big day such as her wedding day, she did not let the excitement stress her out. You could tell how excited she was to be marrying her high school sweetheart and she was ready to dance and celebrate! Cody is such a happy-go-lucky kind of guy and he was so excited to be marrying his best friend. I just love these two so much! Grace and Cody exchanged sweet gifts with one another, Grace gave Cody new cufflinks and a Bible. Cody gave Grace a beautiful necklace! They decided to do a first touch so they could exchange these gifts and read private vows. It was so sweet to see both express genuine emotion and enjoy a private moment just the two of them. When Cody first saw Grace, he had to try not to cry. There may have been a little tear but he kept it together! Grace did a first look with her daddy, it was so sweet and such a precious memory for them. Her dad only teared up a little bit, but his look was priceless.
The décor Grace chose was gorgeous and classy- just like her! She went with beautiful white florals with greenery. The O’Donnell House was very elegant! Grace had photos displayed throughout the venue. The reception was a great time and of course, Grace had sweet touches such as little prints for guests to take home as mementos. She had a cute photo booth that was a hit with her guests, and she had an awesome band. They also threw flower petals for the beautiful sendoff, and when they left, they climbed into an antique car that was such a timeless elegance. My favorite part of the day was seeing these high school sweethearts marry. It is something truly special to see couples experience so much life together and become a married couple!
I am so honored to have been a part of this special couple’s wedding day, it has been such a joy getting to know Grace and Cody and your MBL family wishes you a lifetime of love and happiness!
