STEPHANIE + BEN’S MOODY SOUTHERN WEDDING

Stephanie and Ben's moody southern wedding at The Quarter was beautifully intimate with natural elements and a classic color palette.

This pair met while stationed overseas at one of their favorite spots, the gym, and almost immediately hit it off.

After a quick trip home from deployment, Stephanie dropped Ben off at the airport. As she was walking away he said, "this is stupid, we should get married," immediately Stephanie replied, "yes!"

Finding the perfect venue for their moody wedding vibe was easy when it came to The Quarter! "It was a quaint size in a great location, and it was so beautiful. We fell in love with the brick walls and the windows overlooking the river," Stephanie told us.

They kicked off their day with an emotional first look that had us all reaching for a tissue, followed by a dreamy ceremony with candle light.

Once guests enjoyed a sip or two during cocktail hour, they found their seats to dine on savory selections from our friends at Dream Events & Catering.

For their first dance, Stephanie and Ben chose "On My Way to You" by Cody Johnson. "For the last two years Ben has been gone due to military deployments and an unaccompanied overseas tour," Stephanie told us. "Whenever he comes back it’s a tradition for him to say 'I’m on my way to you.'" Anyone else having bad allergies?

Looking back, Stephanie and Ben found "how beautiful everything looked and the location," to be what made their special day so memorable. Not to mention how many times their guests told them how fun their wedding was!
