Bride: Katie Rose + Parker
A Love Story 24 Years in the Making: Katie Rose & Parker’s Whimsical Wedding Journey
In the heart of Covington, Louisiana, beneath the shade of a centuries-old oak tree, Katie Rose Norman and Parker McConnell’s love story blossomed into a timeless celebration of devotion and unity. Their wedding, a culmination of 24 years of destiny, was a testament to the enduring power of love and the beauty of serendipity.
Katie Rose, formerly Norman, and Parker, a match written in the stars, exchanged vows on a crisp November day in 2023. Their journey, however, began long before, amidst the innocence of youth and the promise of destiny.
In the winter of 2022, Parker’s heartwarming proposal on Christmas Day added a new chapter to their tale. With the magic of the holiday season as their backdrop, Parker knelt before Katie Rose, presenting her with a ring adorned with a mesmerizing teal sapphire—a symbol of their unique love story.
Their wedding day unfolded like a dream, with the ceremony held at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Chapel, where Katie Rose’s alma mater, Saint Scholastica Academy, provided the perfect setting for their vows. The reception, a romantic garden affair at The Greenwood, followed by an enchanting after-party at the Southern Hotel, was nothing short of magical.
