Avery and Kyle began their journey in college as they became friends in a Metamorphosis class. Just like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, soon did they realize that this friendship was  developing into something new and extraordinary as well. Kyle and Avery are exciting and spontaneous, and this showed through their wedding at The Bar Mansion. They took each of their passions and tied them into the event in a unique and surprising way. Avery has always been drawn to art and this was shown through the breathtaking floral canopy and arrangements, along with the floral ice sculptures inspired by the Japanese Botanical sculptor, Makoto Azuma. Avery and Kyle surprised guests with everything from fortunetellers to cigar rollers, and as a special tribute to their majors in English, even had personalized poems written to guests by the poets of the Type Writer Rodeo. The beginning of their story together was also paid tribute to, during the ceremony, as on of their best friends read aloud a passage from The Velveteen Rabbit. This couple tied the knot in a place that was true to them, southern but with a modern twist. This charismatic couple lead the guests through their journey with food as well, from a beer bar to ending the night with milk and cookies, Avery and Kyle told their love story to old friends and new. Just as any great story comes to a close the night ended as the couple traveled through a twinkling tunnel of sparklers and on to the next adventure.
