Getting Ready at Loray Mill Event Hall

The morning began in the bridal suite. It was quiet and full of anticipation. The bride got ready with her mom and bridesmaids while soft light filled the room. Then her mom helped her into the dress in front of the large mirror. Tears came quickly. The bride then shared a surprise gift. It was a custom handkerchief with her handwriting embroidered on it. It read, “You are always my rock, especially today.” Everyone cried again.
