best friends, and close family members in on the secret, and they prepped her with a manicure and her favorite flowers. Seth popped the question with a wine glass emblazoned with the words, “Natasha will you marry me!” Loved ones showed up at dinner, which turned into a surprise engagement party. While planning their wedding, the pair enjoyed cake tasting, wedding showers, and dress fittings. They were wed on Oct. 7, 2023, during the West Side Nut Club’s Fall Festival so out-of-town guests had an added special event to visit. The ceremony and reception were held at Evansville Country Club, with the ceremony occurring on the first tee of the golf course. The father of Seth’s best friend officiated, and the readers were family members. Natasha – at high risk for breast cancer – wore a pink awareness anklet made by her cousin. “The view was beyond beautiful and actually another reason why we chose ECC,” Natasha says. “We wanted it to be very intimate and include people who have been in our lives for years.” Natasha and Seth wanted the reception in the ECC ballroom to be one big party. This vision was accomplished with glow sticks, marquee letters, and a photo booth. It also featured a cigar bar with Seth’s personal collection, a musthave at any celebration for the Nicholson boys. Seeing guests “let loose and enjoy themselves” at the reception, Natasha says, was a highlight of the evening for the couple.

The Newburgh, Indiana, natives shared mutual friends in high school, but it wasn’t until a few years later that they reconnected through working at the same restaurant. The couple dated for three years before Clayton popped the question on Christmas morning, Carlie’s favorite holiday. The pair spent Christmas Day celebrating and sharing the news with family.

The couple loved looking at different wedding venues. Carlie enjoyed wedding dress shopping and she found her perfect match at House of White in Newburgh. She recommends making a binder for the planning process to keep track of details. Carlie and Clayton were married on Sept. 1, 2023, at Pine & Co. Twenty guests were invited to the outdoor ceremony, which Carlie says made for a beautiful and private occasion. Clayton’s father officiating the ceremony added a special touch. The couple welcomed 150 guests to their reception, also at Pine & Co. “We had barbecue from Miller’s Barbecue and an amazing dessert, and we stayed late dancing and celebrating with our family and friends,” Carlie says. Carlie’s grandmother made the wedding cake, and Bea Sweet Treats supplied cupcakes. Although many of the night’s highlights revolve around the dinner and dancing, Carlie says one of the couple’s most cherished memories happened with photographer Bree Neeley. “One of our favorite memories was, toward the end of the night, Bree had us go outside and take pictures,” she says. “We were so happy, and they ended up being some of our favorite pictures.”

Little did they know that three years later, they would marry in Kristen’s Evansville backyard. “2020 was such a horrible year for all of us,” Alison says, “but meeting on New Year’s Eve felt like the start of something new and wonderful.”

The couple proposed to each other on their first anniversary. Taryn, a Louisville, Kentucky native, and Alison, a former Evansville resident and Signature School graduate, were wed on April 29, 2023, in the garden at Semper Fulgens, a quaint rental on Kristen’s property in the Riverside Historic District. Her husband Matthew played guitar during the ceremony. Longtime friend Amanda served as photographer, while their friend Hannah officiated the ceremony. “Having all of these personal touches made the day feel truly ours, and it meant that we were working with people we really trusted on the details that mattered most,” Alison says. They envisioned a 1970s garden party, and Taryn describes the vibe as “funky ‘60s-‘70s meets ‘Bridgerton.’” The duo spent months thrifting unique decor pieces for the table settings. They made their own flower arrangements and, in lieu of cake, offered a doughnut tower from Donut Bank. Guests sipped on rosé berry sangria, played yard games, and fed violets to Kristen’s chickens, whose coop is nearby. A highlight was an impromptu speech by their seven-year-old nephew, Cooper, who shared his joy about their marriage. In homage to a Ginkgo tree right outside Semper Fulgens that they loved, Taryn wore gold Ginkgo leaf earrings and Alison sported a gold Ginkgo leaf necklace. “We only learned later that the trees symbolize enduring love and hope because they can live for thousands of years,” Alison says.

from their travels, and Kendall later used the occasion of adding a new glass to their collection to ask Nicole to be his travel partner for life. “It was a good thing he did it, too,” she says, “because apparently everyone but me noticed the ring box in his pocket in all the pictures I posted from that weekend.” Nicole — an Evansville Day School graduate — and Kendall — a Boonville High School alum — held their ceremony on Aug. 19, 2023, at Evansville’s Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer and invited wedding guests and fellow church members to attend. Nicole’s father is the church’s senior pastor, but he wanted to be her dad for the big day. So, Nicole’s godfather officiated the ceremony, a sentimental gesture since he, along with Nicole’s dad, had baptized her into the church. Another special moment was Nicole’s and Kendall’s first look before the ceremony. “When Kendall cried seeing me for the first time, there was so much love and emotion in his eyes,” Nicole says. “He looked at me the way I always hoped to be looked at.” The couple hosted a reception for 150 guests at City View at Sterling Square. After a dinner and several moving speeches, guests donned flip-flops and glow sticks to dance the night away. They were invited to share their favorite travel destinations so the couple could build their travel bucket list — and collect more shot glasses along the way.

The pair were married two years later in a traditional Catholic cathedral ceremony in Savannah, where Susan grew up. The couple recently celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary, and that, combined with Susan’s 50th and Scott’s 60th birthdays, led them to think, “Let’s celebrate big,” she says. “Scott and I both really enjoyed our first wedding,” Susan says, “but I think everybody looks back on their wedding and thinks, ‘If I could do it again, what would I do differently?’ So, it was fun with the vow renewal to do that.” Susan, a business and life coach, and Scott, a commercial real estate broker in Evansville, renewed their vows on Aug. 7, 2023, in an outdoor ceremony in front of a small group of close friends and family. The renewal took place in Savannah’s Monterey Square and was complete with a string quartet, surprise flash mob, and bagpipe entrance paying homage to the couple’s Irish and Scottish heritage. Susan’s daughter carried the train of her custom gown from Katelyn’s Alterations. When the ceremony concluded, a New Orleans-style jazz band led the couple and their guests in a line parade around the square and into the reception, held at the Wedding Cake Mansion. The celebration featured a live watercolor artist who painted portraits of guests. A surprise came at the end of the night when Susan arranged for horse-drawn carriages to line up outside the reception venue and take guests on a downtown carriage ride and tour to close out the evening.

with developmental disabilities. Chasity was completing her doctoral degree in Wisconsin, so the relationship was long-distance. When Derek came to visit on Halloween, he abandoned his original plan and instead proposed first thing in the morning by kneeling beside the bed with a ring. A New Year’s Eve wedding set the tone for the day’s celebration and helped streamline some of the planning. “It was a beautiful New Year’s Eve ceremony decorated with holiday greenery and Christmas trees lit with warm white lights,” Chasity says. “My dress was glittery, and the crowd was sparkling with sequins all around. Our priest led the most perfect wedding Mass.” Holy Cross Catholic Church in Fort Branch hosted the ceremony, while the reception was held at The Bauerhaus in Darmstadt, Indiana. “It ended up being a very delicate but classy, well-decorated wedding,” Chasity says. “We didn’t have any expectations and just lived in the moments of the day.” The Bauerhaus staff made everything on their wedding day seem effortless, Chasity says, from the decorations to the meal for 250 guests, and even a celebratory balloon drop at midnight. “It felt like a true dream,” Chasity says.
