Jessica Ammons + James Noble

James Noble knew his then girlfriend, Jessica Ammons, wanted an intimate proposal.

“He proposed in our cozy apartment in front of the tree as we were exchanging gifts on Christmas night, just the two of us,” Jessica says. “It was absolutely perfect.”

For their wedding venue, the future Mr. and Mrs. Noble chose The Village Arboretum.

“It was very important for us to get married in Pinehurst,” says Jessica. “We love living here and wanted all our family and friends to be able to experience our little hallmark town.”

The Nobles got married on Apr. 5, 2025. They accentuated the season with a spring garden theme, incorporating loads of florals and pops of pink and green. Jessica’s dad even built a planter box that served as the couple’s seating chart. Bubbly & Bright Event Design Co. filled the box with fresh blooms, and Jessica designed escort cards on wildflower seed paper that guests could take home and plant. The couple also paid tribute to Pinehurst, gifting hats with embroidery that read, “Noble Golf Links — EST 2025.”
