The White Crow in Banner Elk opened its doors to guests with a seamless blend of sophistication and charm. As attendees took their seats, the gentle notes of “Canon in D” by Brooklyn Duo beckoned the bride’s grandfather and stepmother, along with the groom’s parents and key family members, to their places of honor. The atmosphere was awash with love as Micah gracefully walked down the aisle to Emily Hearn’s “Found a Heart,” her eyes locked with Will’s, setting an emotional tone that lingered throughout the ceremony.
Once the vows were exchanged and the joyous exodus to Oh Honey’s “I Love You Will Still Sound the Same” commenced, the guests gathered for the cocktail hour, lulled by mellow jazz covers.
