The ceremony unfolded inside the historic First Baptist Jackson Chapel, where soaring ceilings and classic architecture created a reverent atmosphere for vows spoken before family and friends. Afterward, guests were ushered into the Faulkner Building, a beloved Jackson landmark, where celebration met architectural grandeur.

The city itself added a touch of unexpected excitement. Downtown Jackson pulsed with the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade just steps from the venue. With thoughtful planning and poised execution, the parade became part of the story rather than a distraction — adding energy and charm without ever interrupting the couple’s carefully designed day.

As the evening drew to a close, Hayden and Christian stepped into a vintage muscle convertible. Confetti shimmered under the glow of Capitol Street as loved ones cheered. It was an exit as bold and unforgettable as the love story that brought them there.
