Given in marriage by her parents, the bride wore a long-sleeved dress by designer Stella York that featured lace, flowing crepe chiffon, and lace long sleeves. The dress was gathered at the waist, with layers of chiffon that created a gorgeous effect, perfect for twirling across the dance floor.

The matron of honor was Michaela McMullin, Gravois Mills, friend of the bride.
