LINDSEY & BRADY PALMER

Photographer: Brittany Anderson Photography Wedding Planner: McLean Events

During family vacations in Pinehurst, a young Lindsey would gaze up at The Village Chapel and dream of one day marrying her prince within its walls. Years later, at the Jefferson Inn, friends would introduce her to a young airman who would make his princess’ dreams come true with a waterfront proposal in Charleston, S.C. — complete with a ride in a horse-drawn carriage. The fairy tale continued with a spring ceremony put on with help from Brady’s 5-year-old daughter, McKenna, and a reception at the Country Club of North Carolina, where Lindsey’s parents have been members for more than 30 years. A custom crest, featuring the couple’s favorite things, was on display as guests enjoyed cocktails and a live band. Following a spirited rendition of “Country Roads,” guests waved American flags as the newest members of Pinehurst royalty drove away in a golf cart.
