Rene Marsh Wedding
Her wedding was at Vineyards & Winery in Northern Virginia for sentimental reasons. Pastor Dr. Judy Fentress-Williams of Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia, officiated their nuptials.
“My fiancé loves Italy and I really wanted to feel a touch of Tuscany on our wedding day,” she explains. “The winery was the perfect fit and it was just far enough from D.C., to feel like a nice escape.”
The couple opted to go without the traditional flower girl and ring bearer, choosing only very close family members to partake in the ceremony portion of the wedding. The groom and the wedding party walked out to a saxophone solo version of Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud,” while the bride made her entrance to “All of Me” by John Legend.
The couple wanted an elegant, romantic and classic wedding, opting for a champagne, white, gold and magenta-infused color scheme.
“We scattered white rose petals along both sides of the aisle leading to the altar,” she explains. “Plus, a sheer and soft flowy white drape pulled pack on each side with faint pink hydrangeas and a crystal chandelier hanging at the center.”

Marsh chose a gown by Pronovias, which she discovered in the Love Couture Bridal boutique in Potomac, Maryland. The sweetheart gown featured a snug bodice and a dramatic skirt with an equally long train. For the reception, she swapped into a simple white gown by Halston Heritage, complete with a bracelet by Alexis Bitter. “I loved my wedding dress,” she muses, “and I really loved my husband’s tuxedo.” Payne wore a midnight blue and black tuxedo complete with detailed black buttons and cuff links. “He was perfection,.”
