Vows that Wow — McKenna & Kyler

Week after week, our team receives and showcases stunning weddings from across Oklahoma, all courtesy of the immensely talented wedding vendors and lovely couples who submit to us. Each month, our editorial team selects one spectacular wedding to highlight, one that stands above the rest for its uniqueness and beauty.

For January, we’re featuring a garden party themed wedding with plenty of pastel colors and vintage touches throughout. McKenna and Kyler said “I do” in dreamy surroundings on September 2, 2023.

How the Couple Met

McKenna and Kyler met as students at Northern Oklahoma College Enid. Both student athletes, the two crossed paths a number of times. Although McKenna was dating someone else when they met, Kyler took interest.

“One night our freshman year he tweeted, ‘you ken help me.’ My instagram handle is @kennahelpu,” writes the bride. “I never liked the tweet or anything because I had a boyfriend at the time, but deep down I thought it was very clever and brave of him to do that.”

Even after no response, Kyler was persistent in his pursuit of McKenna. After breaking up with her boyfriend, she and Kyler began spending more time together. From best friends to boyfriend and girlfriend, the two dated for five and a half years before tying the knot!

The Wedding Day

The day began with McKenna and her bridesmaids getting dolled up with makeup by Claire Burns Makeup Artistry and hairstyles created by Addie Artistry. After the couple gussied up in their respective suites, the two shared a first look before the day’s main event.

Both the ceremony and reception took place at The Range Wedding + Event Venue, adorned with stunning florals by Ribbon & Blooms Floristry and decor from Borrowed Charm. After taking pictures and exchanging vows in a beautiful, waterfront setting, the couple celebrated with their friends and family.

At the reception, Harris Custom Catering provided an exquisite meal while OKC Entertainment and Events brought the party. The couple busted a few moves while sporting baseball caps on the dance floor. 

It all came together with the help of the folks at Borrowed Charm. As McKenna writes, “Our wedding day was so dreamy. I loved all the details and colors that we incorporated into our day. It was so fun to see our vision come to life!”

McKenna & Kyler’s Favorite Detail

“My favorite moments were getting ready with the girls, doing our first look together, and dancing the night away with all of our favorite people. It was such a special day that I will always remember and cherish.”
