Melissa and Michael knew that The Raymond Venue was where they wanted to get married. From its incredible gentleman's quarters at The Bird Dog to its quirky and cute parlor for the girls, all the little in-between spots were just bonuses that added to their special day. And their wedding day was exceptional. Melissa and her bridal party got ready inside The Portico, where the white bridal room, with its astounding greenery and elegant mirrors, made everyone feel like a vintage movie star. Melissa was radiant in her bridal gown. Michael over in The Bird Dog put on his tuxedo with the gift Melissa gave him on his wrist, a new custom engraved watch. She was given a gift, too, a beautiful necklace that she wore all day. Their first look was a sweet moment in front of the little white cottage on the side of the property. Michael held his composure well, even though a few tears did seem to fall when he turned and saw Melissa. Their ceremony was held right before sunset. The incredibly decorated arbor was an impeccable place to say their "I Do's" in front of family and friends. Melissa and Michael exchanged vows and rings and were officially married! The reception that followed was elegant and was such an exciting celebration. The food, the cakes, and the drinks were had by all the guests. Melissa and Michael danced their first dance as husband and wife under the disco ball on stage. After that, everyone seemed to join in the dancing celebration. At the end of the evening, as the whole crowd of attendees did the Love Train out the door, Michael and Melissa danced their last dance under the disco ball. They left in various sparklers and rode off together, excited about their new chapter! Michael and Melissa were married on May 18, 2024, at The Raymond Venue in Raymond, Mississippi.
