When you look forward to a life lived by your vows, nothing can truly rain on your parade. Not when you have a lifetime to spend with the love of your life! That’s the beauty of marriage! You don’t have to go through life alone. You have a partner who will be there for you no matter what comes your way.

I guess that’s the reason why we saw not a hint of worry on Shawanda and Maurice’s faces, even when the skies began to darken. They knew that together, rain or shine, they were going to make their big day unforgettable!

And unforgettable it was! Shawanda and Maurice said their I do’s at Southern Grace, an enchanting venue that provided a rustic yet elegant backdrop for their big day. We couldn’t stop swooning over the beautiful historic estate and the barn where the reception was held! But nothing could have warmed our hearts more than when the couple exchanged vows in front of their loved ones in their stunning wedding ensemble. The couple opted for traditional wedding attire, with Shawanda wearing an elegant a-line gown while her husband donned a stunning 3-piece suit. They were a mesmerizing pair!

The venue was adorned with neutral tones with accents of blush and warm wood tones that set the perfect palette for this beautiful wedding day. Of course, I will not deny that I swooned big time at the colors and details of this lovely rustic wedding! If you were there, you’d see hearts in my eyes!

“to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.“

It was a privilege to be a part of this wedding. We were able to witness the love that pervaded the entire day! And although the day concluded with the sky pouring, it warmed our hearts to see their friends, family, and mentors together on such a joyous occasion, sharing stories about the pair and filling the celebration with sniffles and laughter.

We wish them all the joy in the world as they start their journey as Mr. and Mrs. Cheers to Shawanda and Maurice!
