A Vibrant Indoor Wedding at the Historical Boutwell Municipal Auditorium in Birmingham, Alabama

Brandy Martin (32 and an associate policy specialist) and Elijah Culpepper (34 and a combination worker) met while helping Elijah's cousin paint her living room. The pair hit it off and Elijah called Brandy a few days later. Elijah surprised Brandy when he proposed on her candlelit deck after a day of shopping. "He took me out back when we got home and there were candles, wine and edible arrangements," says Brandy. "I was so confused that the only thing going through my mind was 'How did someone get in my house?!'" The couple spent the next year planning their colorful indoor wedding at the Historical Boutwell Municipal Auditorium. Brandy wore a strapless sweetheart trumpet wedding gown from David's Bridal with a ruched bodice and corset back. Their bold wedding party set the tone for the colorful affair and coordinated with their purple, fuchsia and silver color palette. After Brandy and Elijah exchanged vows during a vibrant indoor ceremony surrounded by 300 guests, everyone enjoyed an open bar reception complete with an energetic DJ. The typically reserved couple even surprised family and friends by dancing their way through their reception grand entrance!
