In a truly wonderful love story, Kate Dunham and Reed Oliver tied the knot on the street where they grew up together. They were fortunate enough to be able to close down their hometown street from sunrise to sunset. As kids, they played flashlight tag and spent summers at the lake. Their first kiss and Reed’s proposal happened on Kate’s doorstep. The ceremony was held in Kate’s yard, with cocktail hour and dinner taking place in the street, followed by dancing in Reed’s yard. The couple wanted their reception décor to match the natural beauty along the street, so they chose lots of greenery with blooms of pink and white. A detail that appeared throughout the wedding was a crest designed by Reed. It includes the couple’s initials and the numbers of their home addresses. Those same details made their way onto her engagement ring and his suit. The night ended with a sparkler send-off, as a preview to the upcoming Fourth of July weekend.
