In describing Shayla Watson and Justin Morrow’s wedding, Senior Wedding Director Denise Myers had only this to say, “Tonight was as close to perfect as they come!”
From the instant the bubbly bride arrived at Carl House Friday morning, an endearing smile covered her face. With her hair pinned and twisted perfectly in a bun, Shayla was stunning; even when wearing the long sleeve pink polo and matching pattern shorts she arrived in. Shayla’s cheerful demeanor continued into the bridal suite as her bridesmaids helped her slip into her strapless dress, which was delicately accented with crystals and a diamond broach, all the while showing no signs of nerves or apprehension. At the beginning of the ceremony, a confident Shayla gracefully slipped her grandfather’s arm into her own and began to take the first few steps toward her beaming groom.

The weather for the outdoor ceremony paralleled beautifully the mood of the evening; the sun exuded warmth and light while the gentle wind blew with an electricity that was both calming and revitalizing. Family and friends took in the weather and the moment as they watched Shayla and Justin stand hand-in-hand professing their love and commitment to one another. As bride and groom took their first kiss as husband and wife, the audience laughed and clapped in excitement and the breeze picked-up, not skipping a beat, to enjoy in the celebration as well.

After an eventful bouquet and garter toss, the couple quickly said their goodbyes before hopping in a white convertible, making sure to steal one last kiss before speeding away into the night.
