Kelsey and Marlon’s journey to the altar might even be more adorable, touching and romantic than the wedding itself… I don’t know, it’s a real toss-up. Anytime best friends take their relationship to the next level and fall in love, you know it’s going to make for a great story, and a wonderful marriage. After Kelsey lost her father in 2011, Marlon devised a plan to integrate one of her favorite memories of playing basketball with her father into his proposal. These two made sure their entire ceremony was family-centric, keeping Kelsey’s father’s spiritual presence in the forefront of their basketball wedding .
These two fitness/basketball enthusiasts decided to take their talents to South Cali and get married in gorgeous San Diego. With such a breathtaking view of the city over the harbor, there wasn’t much need to overcomplicate the venue with elaborate décor – so Kelsey and Marlon went simple with a lot of gorgeous white flowers and rose gold details.
Their cake was made by Kelsey’s sister, Karen. It’s so trendy and cute, frosted to perfection and topped with some greenery… oh, and of course, a rose gold basketball themed topper – perfect for their basketball wedding! Talk about some Love and Basketball vibes right here… remember that movie!? If you haven’t seen it, drop everything right now and go rent it. Speaking of love and basketball, even their guest book was a white Wilson basketball for crying out loud. They even made THAT pretty and lovely by keeping it in a rose gold stand that mimicked the décor. As the sun set and the twinkling lights from the dock began bouncing off the water, this set of photos by Paul Douda went from gorgeous to… what’s the word for when something is so beautiful you’re 92% happy, but 8% jealous of it?
