February 24, 2024 // Sacred Heart Chapel, Reception at The Venue Fairhope
High-school sweethearts Lily and Will celebrated their marriage with a big Fairhope wedding on an uncharacteristically pleasant February day. While the bride grew up in Fairhope, the couple lived all over the country over their almost-decade of dating, so high school, college and childhood friends and family traveled from near and far for the weekend. The wedding Mass at Sacred Heart Chapel, the bride’s dream wedding venue since childhood, ended as the sun began to set over Mobile Bay. In downtown Fairhope, The Venue was transformed into a garden wonderland for the reception, with greenery, blue hydrangeas and, of course, lilies. Food included a Fairhope Float stand from Mr. Gene’s Beans and guests danced and celebrated until the couple’s sparkler exit.
