An Unforgettable Celebration of Love and Joy at Great Marsh Estate: Marla and Brad’s Wedding Story
Marla Sihalath and Brad Kuhns’s wedding at the Great Marsh Estate promises to be a celebration filled with warmth, joy, and a touch of elegance. After a year of being cooped up, they are ready to embrace the beauty of a day surrounded by loved ones, with laughter and memories captured forever on film. For Marla and Brad, their wedding is not just about the two of them; it’s about the friends and family who have been there along the way, sharing in their journey and adding joy to their lives.
Their story began at a work happy hour, where they quickly became fast friends. Over time, that friendship turned into something more, blossoming into a love that finds comfort in the little things. Homebodies at heart, Marla and Brad spend their days under a weighted blanket, watching Netflix, or enjoying a quiet drink with friends at a local spot. It’s this simple, genuine connection that defines them—finding beauty in the seemingly mundane and being completely themselves.
When Brad decided to propose, he aimed for something simple but magical. On a chilly Christmas Eve at the Asheville Arboretum, under a canopy of twinkling lights, he nervously carried a ring in his pocket. Marla suspected something was up when Brad kept whispering to his sister and swatted her hand away when she tried to warm it in his pocket. The moment came when they reached a tunnel lit up with blue lights and snowflakes, and Brad dropped to one knee. It wasn’t about the holiday; it was about the beauty of the moment, the lights, and the promise of a future together.
Their choice of the Great Marsh Estate for their wedding venue was almost serendipitous. Marla had planned to visit a few venues and narrow down her favorites for Brad to choose from. But after seeing Great Marsh, with its stunning architectural features, timeless charm, and breathtaking backyard where their ceremony would take place, she knew there was no need to look further. Brad didn’t get to see a list of options; he saw the one, and it was perfect.
The vibe they want for their wedding is like that first bite of a warm chocolate chip cookie—familiar, comforting, inviting, but with a touch of sophistication and excitement. It’s a day meant to feel cozy and joyful, but also unforgettable—where guests leave thinking, “That was a great night.”
