This week, our real event is something a little more intimate. Our featured couple, Jordan & Grant, had a romantic backyard ceremony that started as an elopement send off party between family and friends, that turned into something else entirely. Taking place in a suburban residential neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina, the couple surprised their friends and family with a night they wouldn't forget. What looked like a farewell party turned into a ceremony for friends and family, and it couldn't have turned out sweeter. Photographer Megan Dellinger was there to capture it all, from beginning to end, and all the sweet moments in between. Their surprise is something you just have to see, and we can't wait to show you. Keep scrolling to see just how lovely the day turned out for this gorgeous couple.

For their party, the couple had tables decorated with white linens, colorful floral arrangements, and large orb bulbs strung up for party lights. Guests were treated to live music and cocktails, while they mingled and enjoyed conversations with friends. Grant & Jordan made their way to the microphone, giving attendees quite the surprise by announcing that what was supposed to be a laid back get together, was actually an intimate ceremony for their closest loved ones. In front of everyone, they had a romantic and casual ceremony, where they exchanged vows and shared their love. Holding hands with luminous smiles on their faces, they said their "I do's", cementing it all with a passionate kiss, while those in attendance wildly cheered them on. Looking at their faces, you can see how happy and excited guests were for Jordan & Grant, and how magical it was to witness something to so incredible. What a wonderful day this must have been for all involved!
