Emily & Jackson’s Story

Emily Franklin and Jackson Hamil’s engagement was filled with surprise and joy. What began as a dinner reservation turned into a life-changing moment when Jackson pulled over into Mardi Gras Park instead. There, a glowing “Marry Me” sign waited beneath the trees – and as Emily said yes, their closest friends and family appeared from across the street, cheering and celebrating the moment with them.
