The couple married on October 19th, 2013 in front of 200 guests in Georgetown. They both loved being on the water, so this was perfect for their special day. To accompany the loca- tion, the reception venue was adorned in traditional and nauti- cal themed décor. Kayla was dazzling in her gown. To finish her look, she wore her oldest sister’s wedding veil. They were ec- static as they exchanged rings - hers a white gold band with al- ternating round and baguette diamonds, his a traditional white gold band. Guests enjoyed the yummy goods made by family friends Willa Harrell, Cindy Owens and Jenny Holden. Surely, they had to save room for the elegant (and tasty!) wedding cake. Kayla admits she and Dustin worked hard to contribute
something special to their wedding. “We searched for driſt- wood over the summer prior to our wedding to make the arbor and extra table decorations. The flower girls were to carry ivo- ry flower petals, but he surprised me at work earlier that week with a bouquet of red roses and a note saying how he couldn’t wait for me to be his bride (and yes, there were tears through- out the office!). I used petals from the roses and added them to the flower girl baskets. I also had a copy of my diary entry from the day he told me he’d marry me placed on the table with two pictures of us - one taken in 2001 and the other from our engagement shoot - on each side. We can’t thank everyone enough who helped and contributed to our day, making it ab- solutely perfect and special!” She shares her thoughts as she reflects back to that day:
“My dream was for the wedding to reflect who we are to- gether as a couple, what we enjoy doing and the people we love. I felt that we accomplished that perfectly! From wak- ing up that morning to going to bed that night, I was full of excitement. I had waited for this day for so long that I was anxious to see my soon-to-be husband and make memories I had initially thought of when I was 13 years old. We would finally begin our life together, and I was ecstatic! It was ab- solutely perfect! We were surrounded by ones we love who love us. The rain worried me a little, but God saw fit to bless our day with giving us just enough time to get married by the bay and take pictures before the bottom fell out! My God is an awesome God!” They traveled to Fort Lauderdale, where Dustin surprised Kayla with a Mustang to drive to the Keys. This month marks the couple’s four month anniversary as
husband and wife. So far, there hasn’t been a dull moment! “We have already had some interesting events take place, such as him leaving the back door open and me chasing Tuna, my inside cat, around the yard at 5am or traveling out of town and realizing that I leſt my curling iron on, but we are adjusting well!” Having lived in separate houses until they married, Kayla is enjoying the fact that she no longer has to say goodbye but rather goodnight instead. “I’ve looked forward to doing the lit- tle things together, like bringing in the groceries, falling asleep watching late movies, and waking each other up because the other is snoring so loud we can’t sleep! I love it!”
Kayla Bishop Cribb resides in Hemingway with her husband Dustin and fur baby, Tuna. She is a physical therapist at Nextstep Rehabilitation Services in Conway.
