This couple’s ceremony and reception were at the beautiful Southern Oaks Plantation. Kate was an absolutely radiant bride, with an infectious laugh and ever-present smile.
We were all a bit nervous about the weather, as there were a few storms in the area. But thankfully, the sky remained clear for the ceremony on Southern Oaks’ front lawn.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, we were all treated to a spectacular fireworks display!
Wes is an Ole Miss graduate, and his groom’s cake featured “Go Rebels!” and mascot Colonel Reb. Kate, being a graduate of rival LSU, couldn’t let that go unchallenged, and devised a secret plot that was flawlessly executed by the Southern Oaks staff. As the couple finished cutting the Ole Miss cake, suddenly the LSU Fight Song was heard over the speakers, and then LSU-decorated cupcakes were brought out and passed around!
The legendary Deacon John entertained, keeping the dance floor packed, and then closing out the night with a Second Line around the ballroom.
