See those bright smiles on Katelyn and Robbie’s faces? You can just tell these two are madly in love. That, babes, is what it looks like to marry your first high school boyfriend/girlfriend. Now, these two didn’t date the whole time between high school and college, but, after time as friends, they circled back to one another, realizing their first love was also their greatest.
It was important to Katelyn and Robbie that their day be centered around faith, so they exchanged vows at the same church in which Katelyn was baptized. Afterward, everyone headed to McBryde Hall at Winthrop University—the same school from which our bride graduated. There, they celebrated with a reception as classically southern as Robbie’s white dinner jacket and as fresh as Katelyn’s customized Lea-Ann Belter Marigold gown!
