On November 11, 2023, at the Summit Street Inns in Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Mr & Mrs Jones became one under the stars.

Surrounded by twinkling lights, and their loved ones these two love birds tied the knot, to seal the deal with a kiss for the rest of their lives.

If I could summarize this couple in one word I would choose honor. From the way they speak to and about one another, the color of their attire, to the intentional elements of their ceremony, each and every step to the altar was paved with honor. As I prepared their details in each of the Inns, I was met by friends and family, who had traveled many miles to see these two become one. The smiles laughs, and sentimental tears shared between all showcased the depth of love, care, and careful intention these two choose to live with every day. It was simply an honor to be there.

The enchanting setting of the Summit Street Inns made for an elegant affair. Two sister inns connected by a brick patio, the Summit Street Inns carry the brick house charm of downtown Winston-Salem and pair it with the wooden craftsmen charm of West End and Ardmore. These late Victorian homes showcase the wooden grandeur of Tudor regality, paired with the soft femininity of Queen Anne Victorian style for a brilliant and striking appearance.

The ceremony was full of symbolism and honor for their traditions, backgrounds, and ancestry. The colors of Blue worn by the bride and groom honored the Jones family's traditional welsh crest. Tying a Celtic knot, inviting friends and family to gather and pray over them, and then jumping the broom on their exit, were each included to celebrate their identities and future as a part of this collective community.
