Wedding Ceremony Under Moss-Covered Oak Trees

“When we discovered Tallahassee’s Southwood House and Cottages, we knew it was a perfect fit,” Laurie says. They loved the giant oaks draped in Spanish moss, so it served as the backdrop for their sweet, outdoor ceremony. Guests watched the service from wooden chairs as the soon-to-be weds shared personalized vows and live music played in the background. “My cousin, Katie Fair, played and sang ‘By Our Love’ by Christy Nockels,” Laurie says. “The words of this song are powerful and speak so closely to the story we want our marriage to tell.”
