The couple put together guest bags for out of town guests containing a collection of “Southern and/or Alabama” stuff, and these were waiting for their guests in their hotel rooms. Fine Paperwork put together the tag bearing their first names and last initial “A” and provided the bags.

To kick off their reception, Kathryn donned a red dress and they danced the tango together before those who gathered to celebrate their union.
