Micah and Mackenzie is the ultimate sweet couple, with a love story that will leave you smiling. Micah grew up attending the church where Mackenzie's grandfather was the music minister for almost two decades. After seeing him, she remembered whispering to her little sister that he was the cutest boy she'd ever seen. The two reconnected and started dating the summer before she started college, and the rest, as they say, is history. Their wedding celebration was a winner with its simplicity. Navy and gold also comes into play, through the bridesmaid dresses, wedding cake, invitation suite, and other wedding elements.
The couple is also very close with their families and wanted to involve them in different ways on the wedding day. Thus, the bride's paternal and maternal grandparents read scripture during the ceremony, Micah's grandfather married them, and she even wore her grandmother's 48-year-old veil; a wonderful way to continue legacy. After the heartfelt ceremony and reception, the couple left in Micah's 1966 Ford Mustang, off to their happily ever after. Keep scrolling for more pictures and a sweet story from the bride.

Some words from the bride:
When we started planning our wedding, we knew that one of our biggest priorities was to hire a top-notch planner. Oklahoma City has an incredible field of planners, but after interviewing Leslie of Leslie Herring Events, we knew we had found a perfect fit. Throughout our planning process, she led us to an all-star team of vendors, without whom we would have never been able to create our absolutely dreamy day. I had been a fan of Amanda Watson Photography for years after seeing her work in several nationwide publications. We knew that we wanted to splurge on photography, and we are so grateful we did! Every encounter I had with Amanda left me even more impressed with her not just as a photographer, but also as a person. She has an innate ability to make everyone around her feel completely comfortable and beautiful. Her breathtaking photos have been the biggest blessing– what a treasure it has been to be able to relive our favorite day over and over again.
We focused on creating a cohesive story-line for our wedding by incorporating our overall style in several of our elements. Everything – our cake, our gold and navy-and-white striped color scheme and even my dress further reinforced our style, which Leslie so pointedly defined as, "crisp, yet approachable Southern sophistication with a dash of sparkle."
Our guestbook was a large wooden letter P – the first letter of our last name. Our guests signed the letter, which is now hanging in our living room. Now when people visit us in our new home they love to look for their name. One of my favorite elements of our wedding was our invitation suite. I designed each piece from start-to-finish so Micah and I were able to completely customize everything to fit our style. I designed all of our paper and had them printed through a local printing shop, which was a great way to cut costs. I also hand-lettered all of our save-the-dates, invitations and escort cards. While tackling the calligraphy myself was a tall task, it turned out to be a great stress reliever as we got into the hectic last few months before the wedding.
