She and Melvin Holloway got married alongside several other couples with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens officiating, which likely isn’t what she imagined when she was in Kindergarten.

They say they couldn’t have had a more beautiful place to exchange their vows and ride off to their honeymoon in style.

“Especially to share this with someone you really love and want to spend the rest of your life with, a day like this is amazing,” Holloway said.

But the love wasn’t only in Piedmont Park.

And they all lived happily ever after.
