.Cate and Michael's wedding day was absolutely charming at The Raymond. The long-awaited day was filled with sweet moments with family, incredible floral arrangements, and two kind-hearted people excited to become husband and wife. Cate and her bridesmaids got ready in the fabulous parlor of The Portico. Hanging on the giant antique mirror was Cate's beautiful dress. She looked stunning in it as she stood in the beams of light coming in through the high windows. Her bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law all had a first look together, and they loved seeing Cate in her wedding gown. Cate also had a first look with her stepdad and brother. Michael also had a first look with his mother. He looked great in his classic suit. Finally, it was time for Cate and Michael to share their first looks with each other. As Michael saw his bride, tears welled up in his eyes. They exchanged letters privately, expressing so much love and awe that they shared for each other. The ceremony occurred in the outside courtyard under a floral arbor. Cate and Michael said their vows and exchanged rings in front of many family members and friends. They were now husband and wife! A cocktail hour came after the ceremony, so Cate and Michael could take photos with family members. Then they went to the Raymond Courthouse for more gorgeous photos. Cate and Michael's love for each other was very evident after the nerves of the wedding ceremony were over. Their love was a joy to capture on film. They also were able to come into The Raymond before others were allowed in to take in the decorations and dance on the dance floor together. Everyone could let loose and celebrate the happy couple after the meet and greet, first dances, and cake cutting. They left their lovely wedding day in a classic vintage car through a tunnel of sparklers. Cate and Michael were married on October 12, 2024, at The Raymond Venue in Raymond, Mississippi.
