Our Wedding

Our Love Story

In May of 2019 Alexa and Reese met while they were attending high school at Loganville Christian Academy. Although they met by chance, they quickly realized that God had brought them into each other's lives for a reason. As they navigated their junior and senior year of high school, they discovered not just a friendship, but a deep connection that would change their lives forever. Throughout college, they stood by each other’s side, cheering each other on through late-night study sessions, exciting adventures, and countless memories. From spontaneous road trips to cozy nights in, they have embraced every moment of growing up together, learning, and laughing along the way. Their journey has been filled with love, laughter, and a shared dream for the future. Alexa and Reese can’t wait to take this next step and celebrate their love with all of you! Thank you for being a part of their story.

Here is a refreshing idea, spend the day on the water and if you need to cool off, just jump in! The kids and kids-at-heart will love bouncing the waves on a jet ski or casting a rod to catch the big one!Lake Sinclair encompasses 15,300 acres of&nbsp;winding coves and several vast stretches of open water. Created by&nbsp;Georgia Power&nbsp;in 1953, Lake Sinclair is two hours southeast of Atlanta making it easy access&nbsp;for fishing,&nbsp;tournaments, swimming, boating, camping, and has several marinas for the convenience of visitors. If you don't have a boat, no problem, many area marinas rent them by the half or full day. For boat rentals and fishing guides try&nbsp;Sinclair Marina&nbsp;or&nbsp;Anchors Marina. Boats and jet skis are available from&nbsp;Twin Lakes Jet Ski&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;Jere Shai Lakeside.Lake Sinclair boasts over 500 miles of scenic shoreline and with Milledgeville's mild climate, you will find watercrafts of all shapes and sizes on the lake year-round.&nbsp;Vacation rentals,&nbsp;boat ramps,&nbsp;fishing docks&nbsp;and&nbsp;unsupervised beaches&nbsp;add to the enjoyment of Lake Sinclair.

Founded in 1965, by Mr. E. J. Grassmann, Lockerly Arboretum boasts 50 acres of gardens, walking trails, and a pond. Their plantings feature flowering shrubs such as camellias and azaleas, and a variety of trees including oaks, magnolias and a 301 year old section of a bald cypress, as well as perennials and annuals. A 1 mile nature trail is home to many mature hardwoods, ferns and wildflowers, including a Tall Stewartia (Stewartia monadelpha), a small leaf Vibernum and a Cedar Elm, all Georgia State Champion trees. The greenhouses are used for educational programs and in 2016, one greenhouse was expanded to include tropical plants. The centerpiece of Lockerly is Rose Hill, a National Register, Greek Revival style home built in 1852 by Daniel R. Tucker. The name Rose Hill was chosen because of the abundance of Cherokee Roses that grew on the site. Visitors can walk the trails, bring a picnic lunch to enjoy at the tables near the pond, and watch birds and wildlife.

Gentle sounds of rushing water and a light cool breeze always welcome you to the Oconee River Greenway. The Oconee River Greenway Park and Riverwalk offer trails, paths and boardwalks to walk, jog, bicycle, relax and enjoy the beauty and sounds of the Oconee River. The Greenway offers multiple individual fishing stations and a boat ramp. The river is navigable in many sections by canoe or kayak and because its shoreline remains largely undeveloped it offers an opportunity to see native bird and plant life. Four legged friends are welcome on the trails, while a designated dog park allows friendships to form and legs to run without a leash. The Greenway is located adjacent to the Oconee River. From the earliest days, the river has been an important source of water power. In 1892 a grist mill was built on the shoal of the Oconee River and used in the early 1900s when it was converted to a hydro-electric plant, the first source of electricity for the City of Milledgeville. Part of the dam and mill structure are still visible in the river just north of the bridge. The southern boundary of the developed portion of the Greenway is a tributary of the Oconee known as ‘Fishing Creek’. At one time a small island (McMillan’s Island) lay at the mouth of the creek, remnants of that island are still visible from the observation deck.
