Alicia and Coles' wedding at The Beaufort Hotel in New Bern, NC, was one of those perfect days that felt like a dream. As the sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a golden glow over everything, Alicia and Coles shared a moment of playful laughter—a beautiful reminder of the joy that comes from being with your best friend. With Coles in his crisp military whites, this wedding carried the weight of honor and service, but it was also filled with so much love and lightness. The way Alicia gently placed his hat on her head, the twinkle in her eyes, and the softness of the moment—they all told the story of a love strengthened by both duty and devotion.
Military weddings have a way of feeling especially poignant. There’s a bittersweet beauty to them, knowing the sacrifices these two have made and will continue to make for each other and for their country. But in this moment, under the Carolina sky, all that existed was the love between Alicia and Coles—a love that shined as brightly as the setting sun.
