Kelly Moss + Willi Martin

When Willi Martin was a kid, he visited Pinehurst to watch the U.S. Open. Decades later, on Nov. 9, 2024, Willi married his bride, Kelly Moss, on the first tee box of Pinehurst Resort’s legendary No. 2 golf course. “We wanted the natural beauty of the course to be the backdrop to our ceremony,” Kelly says.

Next came the reception in the Outlook Ballroom. The resort cooked up a spread of North Carolina favorites, including a whole hog of pulled pork barbecue. For a late-night snack, guests enjoyed hot dogs and french fries in honor of Willi’s late grandfather who owned a Wiener Works in Fayetteville. Willi’s parents now run the restaurant.

After the last hot dog was eaten, the newlyweds ended their reception in a quiet way. “One of our favorite memories of the night was our ‘last dance’ when all our guests left,” Kelly says. “It allowed us to reflect on all the love we felt from our guests and really celebrate as a couple the amazing night we had!”
