The Engaged Times
Our Engagement Story
Jackie met Bethany and Dave Lytle when they all moved to teach at an international Christian school in Lima, Peru. Jackie was fast friends with the Lytles and would often enjoy a Girls' Night Out with Bethany to talk about life, family, teaching, faith, movies, and anything else. When Bethany died of cancer only ten days after her diagnosis, the Lytle family grieved a tremendous loss, as did Jackie and hundreds of people that Bethany impacted in her lifetime. In the midst of Dave's grief and sorrowful transition, he held tight to the hope and security he had in Christ. Dave and his three young children walked forward, embracing life however they could each day. In this season, Dave and Jackie's friendship shifted as they bonded over conversations about loss, grief, faith, and hope for a future. Now Dave and Jackie are ecstatic to meet at the end of the aisle at Marbella this November. They will embrace the blessing of marriage, regardless of life's inevitable difficulties and sorrows; their family will only be strengthened as they join hands and head forward in faith and hope. Bethany's legacy will be celebrated in their home, even as their family grows in the future. From a bond of friendship has grown a deep, deep love.

Featured Wedding Tory & Mark Saturday, August 1, 2015 Tori and Mark couldn't be more of an ideal couple. Not only are they stunningly gorgeous, they are sweet, kind and gracious. With Tori and Mark living clear across the country in New York, Mother of the Bride, Debbie Sanders stepped in and made some planning decisions. The New York bar was set for a beautiful wedding. The wedding not only met their expectations, it far exceeding anything they could imagine. The clean, chic vibe came to fruition in form of a strikingly remarkable, crisp tent with hanging sparkly crystal clear chandeliers with greenery intertwined. While the tent set the tone for this smashing wedding, the florals blew every one away. From the full white and ivory blooms to the hanging crystals to the staggering floating candles, it was the perfect look to complete their vision. They had black on black chiavari chairs to truly bring in the elegant look. This crowd ate, danced, laughed and cried. They loved the food, had a ball with the band and embraced all emotions to fully celebrate this special day. Marbella was the absolute perfect location for Tori and Mark's wedding!

Marbella Country Club was the most incredible venue I could've had my wedding at! Jennifer and Elizabeth were so wonderful in helping coordinate and execute my wedding day the way I had envisioned it! They were on top of every single possible detail and assured me every step of the way that it was all going to turn out the way I pictured it! Not to mention the fact that it POURED on our wedding day and Jen and Elizabeth helped calm me down and execute Plan B. Overall, this venue is absolutely incredible. Their packages are almost all inclusive which makes the planning process so much more simple! All I had to outsource was my photographer, my DJ, and my florist. They provided all the linens, tables, chairs, bar, catering, and even the price of our wedding cake was included! All we had to do was select a baker from their list of bakeries that they work with! I could rave about Marbella for pages and pages but to sum it up, our wedding day was perfect and it was all thanks to Jen and Elizabeth at Marbella Country Club for pulling it all together! ~ Samantha Graff
