Spring Wedding at Carl House: Kimberly Huff & Andy Huckaby

As the sun rose blissfully Saturday morning, leaving a glistening halo of sparkle and light as the dew melted slowly in its gradual warmth, Carl House radiated with softness and beauty; a feeling only fitting for the second day of spring. The Carl House team was delighted, not only for the wonderful weather, but also, to play host to the first outdoor wedding of the season; even the scattered patches of purple and yellow pansies perked in anticipation. Despite a slight chill in the air, the ceremony went smoothly and Kimberly and Andy, who had entered as two, walked arm-in-arm down the aisle past family and friends as one.


The ballroom was a dizzy of dancing and dining, and the delightful mood was echoed by the assortment of hot and light pink gerber daises that made-up the bride’s bouquet and the groom’s boutonnière. One glimpse at Kimberly and Andy and it was clear that the affection and admiration they shared would make possible for the foundation of a beautiful marriage, just as the foundation of Carl House made possible for a beautiful celebration. Even the groom’s cake stood as a token of their love. In honor of her husband’s service as an Athens Clarke County firemen, the cake was modeled after a red fire truck and the cake cutter, an axe, read “Today I Marry the Bravest Fireman.”

Being a part of special occasions, like this one, is what makes being a part of Carl House worthwhile. We hope to play host to these engagements for many springs to come!
