Kirstin + Stephen Cagle // June 10, 2016
How They Met/ First Date
Kirstin and Stephen met at Georgia Southern University where
they both majored in music education. The two spent their first date at the
infamous sweetheart circle at their alma mater bundled up in blankets and
cuddled in a hammock. Legend has it that if you walk around the circle three
times with your sweetheart you will be together forever, we’d say the legend is
true!
The Proposal
After Stephen graduated, Kirstin was still student teaching
and living in Atlanta. Kirstin decided to plan a trip for the two of them to go
visit their two best friends at Georgia Southern (the future maid of honor and
best man). During the trip, Kirstin suggested that they all go to sweetheart
circle where both the couples and each other first met to take some pictures
since it would probably be the last time they would ever be in that area all
together again. Little did she know she planned her entire engagement. The
couple began taking pictures under the same tree they hammocked from on their
first date, then Stephen got down on one knee and proposed.
“We loved that we were able to document this moment and have
an immediate engagement shoot with our friends,” said Kirstin.
The Wedding
The two got to visit a open house at The Wheeler House with
their families and immediately fell in love and even booked their wedding that
day! Kirstin wanted her wedding to be timeless and classy and it definitely was
that! The couple both really wanted to add touches of their relationship
throughout the day. They incorporated their love for music by making their
table runners out of sheet music and by using a drum as the cake stand for
Stephen’s grooms cake.
One of their most memorable parts of their wedding was their first
dance. Between the perfect song and this sweet couples love, there wasn’t a dry
eye in the room!
“It was one of the first moment where the pressure of the
ceremony was over and we could just enjoy “It felt like we were the only people
on the Earth”.
Kristin suggests to all couples to keep a journal through out
their engagement, wedding and honeymoon.
“We both did this and found it to be a great way to record
all kinds of details, memories and emotions (big, small, serious, silly) that
we otherwise would forget even if we tried not to,” said Kristin. “I’ve really
enjoyed reliving my wedding through my journal can can’t wait to read back on it
years from now!”
The Honeymoon
The two traveled to the Western Caribbean on a cruise for
their honeymoon. They wanted to go to the beach and wanted an easy trip to plan
so what better way than to take a cruise.
“We loved every second of our Wheeler House Wedding from
start to finish! We would do it all over again! Thank you from the bottom of
our hearts for making our day so amazing!” –Kirstin Cagle

It was such a pleasure working with you both. You two are truly special and
your love is inspiring. We wish you both the absolute best.
Love,
The Wheeler House Team
