FEATURED REAL WEDDING // They almost met in high school. Years later, a chance meeting at a friend’s birthday party finally brought Kelly and Aaron together—and this past November, they said “I do” under string lights at Serene Ranch. 🤍

From a beach proposal in Mexico to a ceremony they trusted their officiant to write blind, Kelly and Aaron’s fall wedding was full of surprises—including a live mariachi band during cocktail hour and a first dance they nailed after weeks of lessons. Cozy blankets, fall signature cocktails, and a sparkler send-off closed out the night. ✨

We’re thrilled to share Kelly & Aaron’s love story, featured in the Summer/Fall 2026 issue of Real Weddings.
