L&L Remarks
Kevin and Devon had an amazing nautical themed wedding at The Watson House in Emerald Isle, NC. This was a destination wedding for them as they live in Cary, NC. Devon’s parents live along the coast and they decided to get married on the water.
Things to look for
- What a dramatic storm cloud backdrop for a dip kiss!
- Bridesmaids make a splash by all jumping into the venue’s pool!
Wedding Story
Wedding Tidbits
- The couple wrote and exchanged cards and letters before the ceremony. They were delivered by a groomsman and bridesmaid so that they didn’t see each other. Both wrote their letters the morning of the wedding.
- The couple met on the dating website Plenty of Fish. After taking a picture with their respective wedding parties on separate levels of the venue, Devon surprised Kevin by using a fishing pole to lower a love note to him that was shaped like a fish and had their usernames on it.
- Devon did a first look with her father in front of the venue.
- A terrible thunderstorm rolled through between the ceremony and reception. The clouds can be seen in the pictures on the dock. The rain started shortly after those pictures were taken.
- The bridesmaids’ bouquets had a childhood picture of each of them tied with ribbon.
- The wedding band was incredible and led the tone for a very active, fantastic reception. Kevin and Devon were on stage singing and dancing on and off throughout the night.
- For the garter toss, Kevin tried to use the elasticity of the garter to shoot it at the single guys. When that failed, he picked it up and hurled a perfect strike into the chest of a single guest.
- Dense fog rolled in throughout the area during the reception. It was so thick under the tent at one point that I legitimately thought the band brought a fog machine with them.
- After going through a sparkler exit, the couple walked down the Watson House’s long dock and left by boat.
