The newlyweds have described their nuptials as a “fairytale” experience, one that surpassed their expectations. “I was most looking forward to having all of our friends and family together in one place,” Holladay revealed in an interview with PEOPLE. She continued, “More than anything, I was excited for the moment of committing and vowing ourselves to one another before God while being surrounded by the people who mean the most to us.”
Holladay and Hubbard’s romance began during their freshman year at the University of Alabama, where they started dating while maintaining a long-distance relationship. They finally closed the gap after Holladay’s graduation. Kulyn proposed in a heartfelt setting overlooking Alabama, symbolising both their origins and their future together. “The proposal location was meaningful to us, representing our new journey in Tennessee and our roots back home,” Holladay explained.
As for the wedding, the couple planned a stylish, timeless event with a neutral colour palette that reflected their vision of elegance. Before the official ceremony, they had already tied the knot at a courthouse to honour their faith and avoid living together prior to marriage. Holladay shared that this decision was crucial to begin their union in a manner aligned with their beliefs.
The wedding weekend kicked off with a rehearsal dinner on Friday, where guests donned white attire, in contrast to the gold worn by the bride and groom. Holladay looked stunning in a bespoke gold gown, and the evening featured a live violinist amidst rustic candlelight. The couple had chosen Howe Farms for its breathtaking mountain view, instantly captivated by the scenery during their first venue visit.
The wedding day was a blend of joy and emotion, culminating in a traditional ceremony enriched by prayer and Bible verses significant to the couple’s faith. Guests were treated to a stunning sight as trained white pigeons were released in a symbolic gesture just as Holladay walked down a mirrored aisle. This particular feature was a crucial element of the wedding that was reflected in the couple’s save-the-dates.
Following the vows, a cocktail hour allowed for lively interactions, including guests being entertained by mini donkeys carrying beverages. The couple later showcased their fun side by changing into custom cowboy boots for the reception. They chose a Southern-inspired menu, reflecting their heritage, which featured a delectable assortment of comfort foods such as fried chicken and homemade biscuits, expertly catered by Talk of the South.
The couple’s reception was lively and memorable, with highlights including a choreographed dance that showcased Holladay’s skills as a majorette. The evening witnessed remarkable performances, including a surprise show from the Tennessee Titans’ BlueCrew drumline, marking the festivities with entertainment that celebrated their shared passion.
As the night progressed, a hot air balloon rose against the backdrop of a sunset, adding an extraordinary touch to a magical evening. The celebration concluded with a farewell brunch, allowing their loved ones to depart with fond memories of the couple’s special day.
Looking ahead, the newlyweds are set to embark on a honeymoon adventure through Hawaii, relishing various islands together. Both Holladay and Hubbard expressed excitement for their future, eager to build a life filled with growth, love, and shared experiences.
Reflecting on their journey together, Holladay conveyed her enthusiasm: “I’m most excited to have Kulyn by my side through all of life’s moments. He truly is my best friend.” Hubbard echoed her sentiments, appreciating Holladay’s determination and support. As they begin this new chapter, they are committed to cherishing every moment together, marking the start of their journey as a married couple.
The couple’s story is one of modern romance, faith, and community, blending personal aspirations with cherished traditions, leaving behind a beautiful memory for all who attended their significant day.
