Our Wedding

It all began eight years ago, on a summer day at a pool in Ramseur. Neither of us could have predicted that a casual day out would be the start of the biggest adventure of our lives.From that first meeting, there was a spark—something simple and real. Over time, what started as a chance encounter turned into late-night talks, inside jokes, road trips, and a deep friendship that blossomed into love.We’ve grown together through every season of life, supporting each other through challenges and celebrating the victories—big and small. What makes our story special isn’t just where it started, but how far we’ve come together.Eight years later, we’re still laughing, still learning, and more in love than ever. Now we’re ready to take the next step and say “I do,” surrounded by the people who mean the most to us.We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with you.

Our Love Story

Our Story

We are so excited to celebrate this special day with you and cannot wait to gather our favorite people together. We will be having an unplugged ceremony and respectfully ask that all guests silence and put away their phones and devices during the ceremony. This allows our professional photographer to capture these special moments without distractions and helps everyone remain fully present. Cell phones and personal photos are welcome after the ceremony has concluded and once the bridal party has rejoined the celebration. Due to venue capacity and planning considerations, we kindly request that only the guests listed on the invitation attend. We truly appreciate your understanding, love, and support, and we cannot wait to celebrate this unforgettable day with you.with love,Kara and Barrett

Details

Our wedding attire is semi-formal. Ladies are invited to wear cocktail dresses, midi or floor-length dresses, or dressy separates, and gentlemen are encouraged to wear suits or dress shirts with slacks and ties. To help us maintain the elegance of the day, we kindly ask that guests refrain from wearing white or cream (reserved for the bride), baseball hats, jeans, sundresses, flip flops, or cowboy boots.
