Angela and Kelsey were married at WinMock at Kinderton in Bermuda Run, North Carolina. They chose bright green, with ivory and yellow accents for her wedding colors. There is no special significance to the colors but Angela wanted fun and bright colors for her summer wedding. She knew the jewel tone would look flattering on her bridesmaids and photograph well from the big white barn in the venue.

The groom and I now reside in Atlanta, however, you and I needed to become married near my hometown in North Carolina. WinMock is a beautiful, renovated barn. It has indoor and outdoor space, was big enough to fit our many friends and family, and felt comfortable enough to unwind and enjoy the day.

My groom and I did a "first look," therefore we had a while alone before the bustle and excitement of the wedding. Seeing his face for the very first time and being able to talk and laugh together was incredible joy in the middle of a very busy day with friends and family.

I always prefer to say that we met the old-fashioned way...online. He works in finance and is an avid whitewater kayaker in his spare time. I was in graduate school at the time, studying to become a physician assistant. Between our very busy schedules, we connected on the shared love of travel, food, and wine, and not staying still! Now situations are calmer, but I love the feeling of adventure he brings to our everyday routine. junior bridesmaid dresses.
