May 31, 2025Â // Ceremony and Reception at Belforest Pointe
The late May sun shone bright as Mary Claire and Pearson married at Belforest Pointe in Daphne, a day filled with meaningful touches and loved ones. The celebration was as classic and timeless as the couple’s decade-long love story, which began during their sophomore year of high school.
Family and friends gathered for the ceremony, with soft blues, greens and pinks complementing the venue. The bride processed down the aisle accompanied by her mother and brother; her bouquet bore a charm in loving remembrance of her deceased father. The couple’s custom vows added a personal touch to the ceremony, and their first kiss as husband and wife, the reception began.
A Motown jazz band kept everyone on the dance floor, donning hats and huggers with the newlywed’s crest. After several hours, the couple made their exit through a tunnel of sparklers.
