Carl House Wedding Stories: Katie French & Walker Hill

The splendor of warm weather is reason enough to cause celebration at Carl House. As the gleaming rays of sun fill the house, they act as a radiant sign that spring is fast approaching, reminding us all of the possibility of new beginnings. A reminder that is furthered as Carl House plays host to the most beautiful new beginning of all, marriage.


This past Saturday, Feb. 7, stood as no exception. As the warmth of the day faded into a serene, cool night, Carl House became a picturesque scene as family and friends came together to celebrate the joining of newlyweds Katie French and Walker Hill. Guests watched in delight as the wedding party arrived to the house in an antique trolley. Inside, twinkling tea lights draped the trees and tables were adorned with lantern centerpieces adding to the Winter Wonderland theme. A feast of stuffed chicken breast, dried fruit, walnut stuffed pork tenderloin and wilted cabbage with caramelized onions was the perfect meal to enjoy prior to an evening of singing and dancing with friends. The happy couple left the celebration in a golf cart, driving through a sea of sparklers and silly string. With the night drifting into early morning, the two drove away into the first few private moments of their new lives, reminding all that while the warmth and the sun may fade away, true love never will.
