Brittany and Clay

Though they grew up just a few blocks from each other, Brittany and Clay Mulligan never met until Clay sat down for a slice of pizza at the local pizzeria where Brittany worked.

“He started talking to me, and I thought he was a creep, but a cute creep, and the rest is history” laughs Brittany.

With the Bluegrass State as their forever home, the couple chose to keep their wedding local, with the ceremony being held at Sts. Joseph and Paul Catholic Church, and reception at Green River Distilling Co. Beautiful and classic, the pair opted to keep the church decorated with florals from Easter the weekend before, which allowed the beauty of the church, and the bride, to shine. The reception was equally as classic and beautiful, with live flower arrangements at each table along with floating candles and live greenery. Luckily, the reception space came equipped with a large dancefloor, where guests enjoyed dancing the night away with the new bride and groom!

While planning their wedding, the couple wanted a way to honor those they had lost and found a small, yet sentimental way to include them in their big day. “To honor the grandparents we had both lost, I had my grandparents’ pictures wrapped around my bouquet and Clay had his grandparent’s pictures pinned to the inside pocket of his tux” says Brittany.

When asked about their favorite moments from the day, the couple laughed and explained that it may sound cliche, but the entire day was wonderful. From the bride’s first look with her dad and brother to her nephew and ring bearer humorously dropping Clay’s ring during the ceremony, there wasn’t a single aspect of the day the couple didn’t enjoy.

To other couples planning their dream wedding, Brittany and Clay have only one piece of advice: “Don’t stress! It will all work out beautifully in the end. All that matters is that at the end of the day you will be married to the person you love, the rest is just details.”
