US Naval Academy Chapel Ceremony

Since Ben is a US Naval Academy alumnus and was in the Navy for six years, it was no surprise that they had the ceremony at his alma mater’s chapel. “Having our wedding there allowed us to incorporate an element of the military culture in our wedding, even though Ben is no longer on active duty,” Kara says. “We also chose it because it is a beautiful chapel and has an exceptionally long aisle, which I was so excited to walk down with my dad.” Its stained glass window and monumental architecture only added to the occasion. To let their venue serve as the focal point, they used white bows on the aisle as the sole added decor.
