Wedding Belles Magazine Volume II Issue 2 Winter 2020 | Page 13

The love story for Wesley and Erin started in December of 2017 , but their families have known each other for years . On a trip to Ellijay for the Apple Festival last October , Wesley proposed at Amicalola Falls . They both agreed that they didn ’ t want a long engagement , so the planning began almost immediately after the engagement .
Choosing a date is hard enough for every couple , but when you are the son of the owner of A Southern Wedding Flower , a date is not easy to come by . With only two dates available in June , a date was selected and then the venue--The Bell House .
Erin chose a gown at Simple Elegance Bridal from the Private Label Collection . Her bridesmaids consisted of her sister Madison Mitchell ( maid of honor ), Wesley ’ s sister Kaydra Martin and her cousin Shelby McClurg .
Wesley ’ s groomsmen were his brother-in-law Allan Martin , good friend Dylan Janney and for his best man , his dad Keith . The flower girls and ring bearer were Asher Martin , Sadie Grace McClurg and Levi McClurg .
All the plans were coming together , and a shower for the couple was set for April . All the flowers and décor had been decided . Then the talk of the COVID-19 virus began . The news of everything shutting down became real . Life seemed to stand still for everyone .
