Sweet and Intimate: Caroline and Tim


A Wedding I will never forget...
Kristen Trexler, Consultant


Caroline met with us in a few months prior to her wedding. I could tell she was a little overwhelmed with all the planning that goes into a wedding and needed some help. This was my first wedding that I would be executing, so I was excited/nervous/thankful all at the same time. It wasn’t until the two weeks before, during my final consultation with Caroline and Tim, that I was surely confident in my abilities to take on this wedding. During our 3-hour final consultation, I helped the couple work out a few tweaks, fixed a few timing issues, and researched the plan she had in her mind for that weekend with no hesitation at all. Walking into that consultation I could see the worry and stress on her face, but walking out the door I saw a soon to be bride that was completely relaxed, excited, and at ease with her wedding.

The beautiful fall wedding was absolutely perfect. After parking their cars at the 2nd Empire (reception site), the guest were taken through downtown by the Raleigh Trolley to St. Mark’s Chapel at Mordecai Historic Park. After the intimate ceremony was over, the guest boarded the Trolley again and headed back to the reception site. We would like to thank Reverend Cheryl Quaid, NC Strings, Emory Lane Photography, Flowers on Broad Street, Sweet Julia’s Bakery, and White Horse for making this a truly special time for the amazing couple.

They were truely blessed with their dream wedding!
















Towards the end of the night Tim pulled me aside
and gave me something.  I will always cherish…. a red Swiss Army Knife. He handed it to me and said “you are definitely the swiss army of all weddings”.
