REAL WEDDING:: Natalie Adcock + Carson McGraw: Ain’t No Mountain High Enough

The wedding weekend started with a bridesmaids’ luncheon hosted by the bride’s mother’s friends at the home of Suzanne Lyell. “It was the perfect start to our weekend, shares Natalie. “Mrs. Suzanne is an extremely talented artist with Prayers on the Side and painted a beautiful picture of the front of Stewartfield as a gift for my bridesmaids.”

“We got married in the church I grew up in,” shares Natalie. “I was very active in our church as a child and throughout my teenage years and have always loved singing with our choir. I was lucky enough to have Bill Taylor, our Associate Minister of Music (and my choir director) playing the organ during our ceremony.”

The reception followed next door to the church at Stewartfield at Spring Hill College. “I have always loved the Avenue of the Oaks,” explains Natalie, “and wanted our out of town guests to be able to experience it.”

The couple shared their first dance under a beautiful full moon to “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” performed by their band Compozitionz. “I really wanted a classic but fun first dance song,” says Natalie, “so that seemed like a perfect fit.”

At the end of the evening, the wedding guests lit the way with sparklers to the couple’s get-a-way car, an antique red convertible.

“Having all of our friends and family in one place to celebrate was the highlight for both of us,” says Natalie. Even the couple’s vendor list included friends. “We…had the best team put together. Most of our vendors were close friends and people we have known for years.”
