Our Wedding

The couple first met on Snapchat and began talking back and forth with each other in October of 2023. Lawson was invited to a coworkers wedding the weekend after they began talking and he asked Brianna to be his date. Brianna had never been to Nashville before and wanted to go and have a fun getaway weekend so she said yes, after FaceTiming him to make sure that he was not a serial killer of course. That weekend they had a blast- from dancing in the kitchen, to late night conversations, to attending a wedding (their first date mind you) and Lawson asking Brianna to be his girlfriend. From then on they began a long distance relationship where they were only able to travel the four hour distance every few weeks. When Lawson began talking about how he was going to move out of the Clarksville house, they threw out the idea of moving in together, and they did! From then on they were inseparable and made many great memories together, and even got a second dog. In October of 2024 the couple went to a haunted house, from there Lawson took Brianna to the lake and proposed under the stars, which is one of Brianna’s favorite things in the whole world. From there they began planning their wedding, made even more memories, and got a third dog! That leads us to where they are now…

“Hi, I’m Allison, Brianna’s Maid of Honor! Brianna and I met in 7th grade and became best friends through chorus, honor choir, and an unforgettable Disney trip (iykyk). From our shared love of music, Barbie, dancing, and so much more, we’ve made so many of my favorite memories together. I’m so grateful for her friendship and honored to stand by her side on her big day!”

“Hi, I’m Tessa, one of Bri’s bridesmaids. I became friends with Bri and Lawson through work. We bonded over our love of books, music, and coffee, and we became fast friends. We have had many great times, and I’m grateful to know the amazing people they both are. I’m so honored to be there with them on their special day and celebrate their love.”

“Hi, my name is Brooke Ivey, and I am one of Brianna’s bridesmaids. I’m Lawson’s little sister and Bri’s soon-to-be sister-in-law. I first met Bri in November of 2023, and from the very beginning it felt like we had known each other forever. From laughing until our stomachs hurt to crying on each other’s shoulders, we’ve shared so many special moments that I’ll cherish forever. Bri has become the big sister I always prayed for, and I’m so thankful God placed her in my life. I couldn’t be more excited to stand by her side on such a beautiful day and celebrate the love she and Lawson share.”

Tux vs. Suit: What's the Difference?

Our dress code is elevated garden party! We ask that the women wear midi to floor length dresses (no knee-length). Please refrain from wearing shades of white, ivory, or cream. We also ask that you do not wear a plain sage green dress (as this is the color the bridesmaids will be wearing). The theme is a sort of Swan Lake garden party- so think colorful, floral, flowy (things like that). For the men we ask that you wear a suit- no khaki or jeans please.
