Going to the Courthouse and We’re Gonna Get Married

Before Marcharda and Katrina headed to Mix Downtown, they were married in a sweet civil ceremony at the County Courthouse in Sacramento, CA. The couple, dressed in white, looked fabulous as they said “I do” under the floral arch in the County Clerk’s office.

Their love story begins when Marcharda made the bold move to Sacramento without knowing anyone. Like many beautiful relationships, our own Dee and Kris‘s included, the couple met online. As they talked and got to know each other they became fast friends. Soon that friendship blossomed into much more.

Because of Covid-19, restrictions were still in place so the couple’s family and friends had to wait outside the courthouse while the couple said their vows. The couple greeted everyone with the biggest smiles as they emerged from the double doors! They beamed as they showed off their marriage certificate.

A Walk In the Park

With the sweet civil ceremony over, the couple and their family moved to Capitol Park to begin the celebration of love. They hugged and laughed (and posed for pictures).
