Not only were Charnele and Rupert excited for their big day, but also their two adorable daughters. Anticipation and energy swirled around them. As soon as the ceremony began at The Saint Martin of Tours Catholic Church, their daughters stole the spotlight as flower girls. Dressed in matching purple dresses, they walked down the aisle with grace.

Moreover, the ceremony was deeply touching. Charnele and Rupert exchanged vows that reflected their powerful connection, hitting everyone right in the feels. When they sealed it with a kiss, the love and cheers echoed around them.

An Outdoor Cocktail Hour

Afterwards, the celebration continued at the historic DACOR Bacon House. Guests, still riding high from the ceremony, hopped on shuttle buses and were transported to this charming venue. Additionally, dinner was a joyous affair with heartfelt toasts, genuine laughter, and shared memories of Charnele and Rupert’s journey.

The party then moved outdoors to the brick patio, where everyone danced under the warm sun and summer breeze, creating a magical scene. The DACOR House served as the perfect backdrop for Charnele and Rupert’s couple portraits, capturing every beautiful moment they shared with their loved ones.
