Carrie and Paxton intended to wed at a gorgeous mid-century hotel in their hometown of Chicago, but when Covid hit, they decided to take the offering of the bride's family gorgeous and sprawling home in Livermore CA. Carrie mentioned in her vows that location and decor were not nearly as important as the loving and supportive people that are around them. While they had bigger plans for their day, the couple says they "would not have wanted it any other way." "The intimacy of it spoke for itself," Paxton mentioned "It felt sacred."
