Cascata Golf Club Wedding
“Katherine Bennett and Tavarres Jefferson met in the summer of 2018, while both were living in Nashville. “We met on Hinge,” she remembers. “We were both each other’s first date on the app.” After a successful first meeting, they knew they could delete it off their phones—a relationship formed. Just a few months later, the couple became long-distance when Tavarres got a job in Las Vegas. After a little more than a year going back-and-forth, Katherine joined him out west.
“We got engaged in the summer of 2020 at our Las Vegas home,” Katherine says. “Our trip to Greece got canceled because of Covid; my husband was planning to propose there. We instead planned a trip to Oregon. Tavarres surprised me right before we left for the airport and proposed, just the two of us, with our puppy watching!”
Even as uncertainty about the pandemic loomed, the duo began planning—and they made sure to keep the process fun. “We really enjoyed bringing our vision to life. We FaceTimed our families, drank wine while we stamped envelopes, and went on long walks to talk about all the details,” Katherine says. “We loved talking about our wedding—what everyone would be doing, wearing, and how they would feel.”
The event of their dreams—with a final guest list of 140—came together on May 29, 2021. Read on to see all the lovely details, planned by Tara Cox of Scheme Events—“the best in the game,” Katherine says.” - words by Ellen Cashin
