November 15, 2025 // Ceremony at Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Reception at Cotton Hall
Vera and Graham were married on a picturesque Saturday in November. The afternoon wedding ceremony at the Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception was attended by a large gathering of family and friends. A highlight of the day was the bride’s 98-year-old grandfather surprising her and the groom by being able to attend the wedding.
After the ceremony, the Cotton Hall reception began, with the venue decorated with bright florals in varying shades of pinks and pastels reminiscent of a springtime party. Guests enjoyed an array of food and drink as the sounds of the Voltage Brothers Band kept everyone on the dance floor. As daylight began to dim, twinkling lights brought a glow over the party at sunset, and a reception second line exit led by the Excelsior Band provided the perfect end to a joyous day.
