Magnolia Cottage of Bell Ridge Farm | Elyssa and Martra

May 1, 2026

Witnessing Elyssa and Martra exchange vows at the Magnolia Cottage of Bell Ridge Farms was so sweet! We met these two a few months prior to their day and couldn’t wait to celebrate with them. We were blessed with a beautiful March day for an outdoor ceremony and reception. Their friends and family were all gathered to celebrate with them in an intimate ceremony. After the ceremony, everyone enjoyed dinner, cupcakes and dancing under the pavilion. Elyssa’s sister wrote and sang a beautiful song to her sister during the speeches. I don’t believe there were many dry eyes in the room. It was a beautiful evening and we’re so excited for these two!

Tell us about your proposal!

We met in middle school and were on and off throughout the years but always stayed in contact and loved each other through all the ups and downs. We were each other’s first love and will be each others last. We had a baby dedication for our daughter to publicly share that we will be raising our daughter in the way of the Lord to the best of our ability and during the prayer he surprised me with proposing to me.
