Kevin and Rebecca Wedding | Wallace NC Weddings

Kevin knows how to create a surprise. He managed to pull off a big, explosive one at the end of his wedding to Rebecca.

Rebecca says, “Kevin surprised me with fireworks! At the beginning of the planning process, we had half-joked about how amazing it would be to have fireworks at the end of the reception. I brought it up a few times as a wish, but Kevin kept telling me it just wasn’t in our budget. But he always knows how to pull off big surprises, and he did it again! Our photographer, Ryan, asked us to walk down to the lake to get a few last pictures, and once we were in place the fireworks started!”

The couple, who originally met as marching band members early in high school, included several unique details into their day. Rebecca says, “In the ceremony, we included an empty seat to honor my mom who passed away 12 years ago. We placed her picture in the seat along with a flower. We included a string quartet because Kevin and I both love music and we met when we were in band. As far as decorations, I love crafts, so I made a few hand-lettered signs and a mini guestbook for each table. I also made the centerpieces for each table (minus the flowers). Kevin’s dad helped by making the placecards and holders. We included lots of photos from our time together in a display at the reception, and a few of our engagement pictures.”

Finally, the couple received a piece of advice that every bride needs to remember. Rebecca says, “Someone who had been married for many years told me to stop, look around, and make some memories during the day. Your wedding day will go by in the blink of an eye. So I made sure that Kevin and I took a moment as we were dancing together to look around the room and notice all the people who were there to support us, all the decorations that came together perfectly, and all the love that was in the room. It helped us make a memory and focus back in on each other.”
