REAL WEDDING :: CHAUNTIS + GREGORY {GLITZ + GLAM}

Chauntis and Gregory were introduced by mutual friends, and met on a blind date set up by the friends, which happened to be at a Saints vs. Falcons game. She was from New Orleans and he was a Falcons fan.

The reason behind the wedding date of Chauntis and Gregory is very touching and sentimental. Chauntis chose the date to honor her late father. It was very important to get married during the time of the year when his memory was strongest for her. Chauntis shares, “I have always felt closest to him during Christmas time, so December 20th was the perfect date!”

She describes her wedding theme as “A celebration of God’s blessings in timeless elegance and sophistication”, but also admits her secondary theme would be “When a NOLA princess finds her ATL prince.”
