Real Columbus Wedding: Caitlin and Wesley Graham

A sneaky proposal for a florist’s daughter

Columbus Monthly

Caitlin and Wesley Graham married on June 19, 2021, at Scarlet City Church, with a reception at Brookside Golf & Country Club.

June 19, 2021 | In 2015, Caitlin (Prange) and Wesley Graham were both coaching at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois—she in track and field, and he in football. By 2019, Wesley was ready to pop the question, and he devised an especially sneaky way to do so. In May that year, Caitlin planned a couple’s weekend getaway at Gervasi Vineyard in northern Ohio.

“I planned the whole trip, not knowing I was planning the perfect moment for him to ask,” Caitlin says. “I was so surprised!”

To plan their wedding, Caitlin enlisted the help of her mother, Regina Prange, who owns floral studio Natural Designs. Prange helped with planning and, naturally, created the floral pieces for the day. Caitlin also wore her mother’s veil and a bracelet that matched one her mother wore, both made by a close friend.

“Being able to celebrate with all of the people we love,” was the highlight of the day, Caitlin says, as was their DJ, Joe Moorer, singing and rapping at the reception.
