Real Wedding: Rachel and Mat

February 4, 2022 by Stephanie Maxwell Newton

We’re in love with the Valentine’s Day tones of Rachel and Mat Crispell’s real wedding!

Read on to learn how Rachel and Mat incorporated an air of romance and meaningful military traditions into their big day.


“The military has always been an integral part of Mat’s and mine relationship as we met and fell in love at the United States Naval Academy,” Rachel says. Mat is currently a First Lieutenant serving as an infantry officer in the Marine Corps, and Rachel is an Ensign in the Navy attending the military’s medical school, Uniformed Services University. Because of this shared history and career, military traditions—such as cutting the cake with a saber and having Mat and his groomsmen wear their military uniforms—was a natural choice for the couple. “Mat’s parents also met at the Naval Academy and had a military wedding less than a week after they graduated.

lance johnston weddings: cathey lee & ryan

July 28, 2015 by weddingsar

Just over a year ago, Cathey Lee and Ryan said “I do” at Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church in Little Rock. Later, they celebrated at a gorgeous reception at the Country Club of Little Rock. The two met while attending Auburn University, where Ryan played football. To pay tribute to this special place, they incorporated their school colors into the reception send-off and the groom’s table. Cathey Lee describes their day as “Southern, classic, and elegant.” We couldn’t agree more! Enjoy all of these gorgeous photographs from Lance Johnston Weddings.
