Kimberly and Kristyn met online as they both finished up their last semesters in college. “A year and a half later we moved down to North Carolina to pursue our law enforcement careers. We have now been together for over five years.”
Kristyn planned out a perfect proposal at a local Christmas tree farm. “I found a photographer in North Carolina who helped me plan our surprise engagement photoshoot. I knew if I told Kim to wear a nice outfit for something I had planned she would know something was up. Instead, I told her that I wanted to get professional pictures taken for a Christmas card that year. The photographer captured those moments that we will cherish for a lifetime. We knew we were not in a rush to get married. We enjoyed being engaged for an entire year before even starting to plan.”
120 guests were in attendance for their outdoor September 2019 nuptials, including a twelve-personal wedding party. “The wedding party was transported to our ceremony site by hayride after guests had already arrived. Koozies and beverages were stationed at the site for the ceremony. Both of our parents accompanied each of us as we walked down the aisle and Kim’s uncle officiated the ceremony.”
The couple chose navy and blush as their decor colors and implemented a rustic theme to complement their venue, Caboose Farm. “We incorporated sunflowers and wood accents. Our wedding had a semi-formal feel and utilized outdoor space for the ceremony.”
The wedding band, Pork Chops and Ham Hocks, were their good friends from Raleigh. “It was one of the best things about our wedding. They completely nailed the entertainment for the evening and learned several songs at our request. They performed our first dance live which was such a personal touch.”
Kimberly and Kristyn are both police officers with the Raleigh Police Department in North Carolina.
