our story 

BRIDE | GROOMKelsey Payne &amp; Justin Harkleroad

Kelsey and Justin met when they were working at the Atlanta Athletic Club together in 2016, finding themselves passing one another in the employee break room. It wouldn't be until Justin's last day of employment at the AAC they exchanged words (by the dumpsters). Soon after, Kelsey snapchatted Justin, and five years later, they're best friends, cat parents, homeowners, and partners in life. We're finally ready to make it official, so pack your bags, and join us in Alabama!

The Wedding Ceremony will take place in the Bluff's Edge Pavilion, an open air pavilion while sitting out over the edge of the bluff. Better known as "a chapel on the mountains" with phenomenal views of the bluff and views down the natural gorge year round. Following the ceremony, we ask all guests to join us for dinner, toasts, and dancing in the Charn. A short walk from ceremony site. Dress is Semi-Formal.Part of dressing for a semiformal wedding is taking the time of the wedding into account. Wear darker, more formal colors for an evening wedding; opt for light colors and fabrics for a daytime event. The wedding ceremony will take place in the early afternoon, however keep in mind the sun sets by 4:45pm. Try a below-the-knee dress or long dress. An elegant pantsuit is also appropriate. Gowns are not necessary. Pair with heels, nice wedges, or formal flats. You'll be walking across a lawn, gravel, and stone; avoid traditional heels that will likely be uncomfortable. Men should wear a dress shirt and slacks, darker attire based on the season and time of day, with a tie and coat or sports coat. Semiformal gives you flexibility on comfort, but be sure not to dress too casual.
