Bride: Roxanna + Michael
Roxanna Rose Hare and Michael John McConnell III were introduced by mutual friends while attending the University of Alabama. After graduating in 2019, their connection deepened, beginning with a boat ride to dinner at Flippers in Orange Beach. Four years later, Michael proposed on a perfect day in Fairhope, starting with a romantic picnic by the Bay and culminating in a surprise family dinner that evening.
Their February wedding at Steelwood Country Club was a breathtaking celebration. The couple chose a navy and champagne color palette, combining timeless elegance with heartfelt personal touches. Nearby lodges offered a cozy weekend retreat for their families and wedding party, adding an intimate feel to the festivities. Roxanna added a sentimental touch by wearing her mother’s redesigned wedding gown to the rehearsal dinner. For the ceremony, she stunned in an ivory fit-and-flare dress featuring a lace and sequined train. The couple’s yellow lab, Winston, stole the show, making a memorable appearance in a bow tie for photos.
