Ceremony at the Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Reception at the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion

Olivia and Cain were married on an early November day that featured cool, crisp air, zero humidity and sunny weather to begin the celebration. The bride and groom met at the University of Alabama, and he moved to Mobile, her hometown, after graduation. Over three-fourths of their guests traveled from all over the country to come and celebrate with them, giving the couple the chance to show off Mobile’s Southern hospitality.

After the ceremony at the Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, guests gathered at Bragg-Mitchell Mansion for the party. From a seafood soiree provided by the bride’s family’s wholesale seafood company and prepared by Georgia with Georgia Roussos to drinks flowing, including the signature espresso martinis and Mexican mules, to party hats and a dance floor, the energy lasted well into the night.
