Their journey took them to Texas, where Worth pursued graduate studies at Texas A&M University and later accepted a job in Dallas. Worth surprised Anna Leigh with a Christmas day proposal in 2020 in front of friends and family, fulfilling her only request: that it be a complete surprise.
Now residing in Dallas, their love story reminds them that unexpected encounters can lead to a lifetime of shared adventures and enduring love.
Anna’s wedding dress, a stunning choice from Galvan London Bridal, perfectly matched her style and preferences. The dress featured intricate detailing, especially at the back, which she wanted to showcase. To complement it, she opted for an elegant updo that would highlight the dress and reflect her personal style.
Before their wedding, Anna and Worth had a heartfelt plan for exchanging special gifts on their big day. Both passionate about watches, they decided to surprise each other with timepieces that held deep meaning.
Worth, the watch enthusiast, wanted to gift Anna her first watch, marking the beginning of her love for these timekeeping treasures. In turn, Anna aimed to fulfill Worth’s desire by getting him a watch he had been longing for.
Following their emotional first look, they exchanged these meaningful gifts. The bride received a Rolex, symbolizing their love and her newfound passion for watches. The groom received an Omega, a watch he had long desired. This exchange of watches became a cherished moment they had eagerly looked forward to, adding a beautifully personal touch to their special day.
A cherished piece of decor at Anna and Worth’s wedding was The Loving Cup, a historic Bryan family heirloom present at weddings for generations. It graced a table surrounded by flowers, infusing the celebration with family history and tradition.
A delightful touch at Anna and Worth’s wedding was their unique guest book choice. Instead of a traditional guest book, they used a Paris Chic coffee table book. This book was filled with captivating images and details about Paris, allowing guests to sign on any page they desired.
The choice of the Paris Chic coffee table book was a charming detail and a clever way to tie multiple facets of their wedding together. It served as a wonderful reminder of their honeymoon, during which they visited Paris and Monaco. This unique guest book would not only hold the memories of their wedding day but also become a cherished piece of decor in their home, reminding them of their love and travels for years to come.
The couple wanted something enjoyable and environmentally friendly for their wedding exit. They decided on bubbles, a whimsical and eco-conscious choice. As the night neared its end, personal bubbles were distributed to guests, and a few were given bubble machines. The result was a joyous and eco-conscious exit, creating a magical moment without leaving any waste or concerns about polluting the surroundings.
• Go with your gut, and don’t overthink it.
• Trust your planner! Since we technically had a destination wedding, it was vital to have a local wedding planner who knew Wilmington and all the best vendors.
• Do what you feel is right, and don’t sweat the little things. You feel more comfortable throughout the process, and in the end, all that matters is enjoying your special day with your new husband/wife and creating lasting memories with friends and family.
• We want to thank all of our amazing vendors. Seriously, everything was perfect, and everyone was so helpful. An even bigger thank you to Katelyn with Knot Too Shabby Events. She provided us with so much guidance throughout the whole process, we couldn’t have done it without her. Also want to thank our families for being so loving and supportive. We are so thankful!
