Her Favorite Places
A
Alexander City native Katie Lamberth met Atlanta native John McGoogan through mutual friends in Atlanta in 2018. John proposed on July 30, 2020, and Katie said yes. Although she had dreamed of her wedding for years while talking on the dock with her mom and sisters, Katie never realized how beautifully her dream would come true on their wedding day, May 22, 2021. When the wedding planning began, Lamberth and McGoogan enlisted the spiritual guidance of the Rev. Marshall Carver, a priest who had been at St.
James Episcopal Church during the years Lamberth was growing up. Carver facilitated their pre-wedding counseling and officiated at the ceremony. The planning for everything else began with a commitment to a sacred ceremony. The Lamberths hired M. Elizabeth for wedding planning, selected Children’s Harbor for the wedding and the family home on Lake Martin for the reception. All of the flower arrangements, décor and bouquets for the entire weekend were created by Susie Kelly at Grace’s Flowers in Alexander City.
