Most memorable moment of your wedding day? Walking down the aisle to the accapella group’s rendition of Etta James’ “At Last.” I felt like I was dreaming.

Any advice for those planning now? Get legally married before your wedding. It reduces stress and allows you to focus on the celebration itself. Also, hand pick your guests and keep the list limited. I loved our intimate setting and our, small (50 people) group of VIPs. And just have to add that Clayton is the best wedding photographer ever! Vendors Venue: The Shack Up Inn, Clarksdale, MS Photographer: Clayton Austin Wedding Dress: Diva by Design (online shop, creates 1930s reproduction gowns), and my fantastic tailor, Best Bridal in Chantilly, VA Bridesmaid Dress: Each girl picked their own dress and headpiece.
