Dreamy emerald and rose micro wedding of high school lovers on a Sunday evening near Lafayette, Louisiana
Real Weddings: Chasity & Brennan
Chasity and Brennan met at a tender time of life – as seniors in high school when they met up at a local fair for a blind date in their home state of Louisiana. Brennan, an entrepreneur and owner of a digital agency firm, and Chasity, who is a physical therapist, spent the next 14 years together maturing into the well-educated adults they would become today. Brennan achieved his bachelors degree from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, while Chasity attended Louisiana State University to prepare for a career in kinesiology. From there, Chastity obtained a Doctor of Physical Therapy from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. Through the years, the couple even welcomed a son into the world and became a family. In 2020, under a sunset-bathed gazebo, and with their son there to witness, Brennan proposed to the love of his life. For their autumnal 2021 micro wedding before 60 special guests, Chastity got creative with recruiting help for the big day. She hired an event designer, but utilized her cousin and best friend as two day-of coordinators. At the altar, Brennan received his stunning bride to be from his soon to be younger brother-in-law. He was the one who escorted Chasity down the aisle. “I felt an abundance of joy and love mixed with a little nervous butterflies,” she recalls of that moment. Their reception was lively and included some strolling of members of Brennan’s and Chasity’s respective Greek organizations. Everyone was boogying to tunes spun by Brennan’s close friend and fraternity brother, the well-known Mr. Socialite.
