Callaway Gardens’ Memorial Chapel was the perfect setting for a summer wedding when Sara Quick and Michael Scott exchanged vows on July 25th! Sara and Michael found Julie through a referral from Leeann at Callaway Gardens. The Atlanta couple chose Callaway’s Memorial Chapel for its close, intimate feel. Sara and Michael did not have a wedding party or a big guest list; they invited only close friends and family to share their special day. They even had college friends come all the way from Ohio!

Sara’s beautiful summer wildflowers were designed by a friend of hers that owns a flower shop. They were great shades of yellow, orange, pink, purple and white! She was stunning in her strapless dress! Pastor Emory Gilbert performed the ceremony. Their reception was a sit-down dinner at Callaway’s lovely Piedmont Dining room.

Congratulations Sara and Michael! Thank you for choosing us to share your special day! We wish you all the love and happiness in the world!

June 21st was an extremely hot, but perfect day for wedding bells. Tori Coleman and Marcus Floyd celebrated their love at New Birth Outreach Church. New Birth Outreach, which has made a new home on Veterans Parkway, had never hosted a wedding before Tori and Marcus’. You can bet that the church’s Senior Pastor was excited for this day to come, he’s also Tori’s dad—Farnsworth Coleman! Tori’s mother, Patricia, is also a pastor at the church, and Tori and her brother work there, too!

Tori and Marcus were just meant to be! They dated for a long time, and he proposed to her—but at the time, she just wasn’t ready. They continued to date, and when she got ready… she proposed to him! Marcus is in the military, and is currently deployed. He got a break from his deployment to come home and marry his sweetheart!

Tori looked beautiful in her strapless mermaid-style dress. She carried a bouquet of red roses, and her bridesmaids wore red dresses to match! They carried pretty bouquets of white roses. Mayumi Hashiyama designed the flowers and did a fantastic job as usual!

As the day rolled along, Julie got to have a reunion of sorts! Some of Tori and Marcus’ guests were friends of Julie’s from her corporate past! She got to see a lot of faces that she hasn’t seen since leaving the insurance business.

Tori and Marcus were chauffeured over to the reception at Green Island Country Club in a limo. The hall at the country club was beautifully decorated in Tori and Marcus’ colors. It was a romantic place for a wedding reception! They had a candy buffet that included dark Hershey Kisses that had their names on the bottom… very unique!

Tori’s wedding gift to Marcus was a song! She has a gorgeous singing voice and serenaded him with their special song at the reception. Afterwards, Tori introduced a couple that was celebrating their wedding anniversary, Dr. Gary Dawson (who also takes care of our Julie's back - he’s her doctor!) and his beautiful wife. They shared a special solo dance!

Virginia Stadnick did a great job on Tori’s cake. The groom’s cake was a delicious chocolate cheesecake! The food was great and everyone had a good time!

Tori and Marcus, we wish you a lifetime of laughter and love! And we wish Marcus a safe return home back to his beautiful new bride!
