In a setting that bridged the charm of history and the beauty of the Gulf Coast, Abby Tait and Braxton Bostwick exchanged vows on November 2, 2024, at the bride’s childhood home on Mobile Bay. Surrounded by family, friends, and the memories of her youth, Abby stepped into the next chapter of her life in a celebration that was as meaningful as it was enchanting.The couple’s love story began on March 17, 2018, and after six-and-a-half years of dating, Braxton orchestrated an unforgettable proposal. On a rainy November day in 2023, he led Abby to the Perdido Beach Resort pier under the pretense of boarding a boat. Abby, completely unaware, focused on spotting the nonexistent vessel. When she turned to ask about it, Braxton was on one knee. Her joyful “Yes!” was met with champagne-wielding friends and a surprise engagement party hosted by her parents, filled with love, laughter, and an undeniable sense of family.
The wedding itself was a full-circle moment for Abby, who had long dreamed of marrying under the sprawling oak trees at the Lindsey-Tait Home, a house her family lovingly calls “BFR.” Built in the late 1800s and boasting breathtaking views of Mobile Bay, the home’s wraparound porch and grand ceilings created an atmosphere of timeless elegance. “This home isn’t just a house; it’s a part of my heart,” Abby shared. “Having my wedding here was like something out of Father of the Bride—it was intimate, personal, and unforgettable.”
Abby wore a stunning gown by Anne Barge, purchased from Bustle Gowns, and made uniquely hers by designer Maggie Outsey, who added dramatic sleeves to complete her dream look. “When I tried it on, I felt beautiful in a way I never had before. It was perfect,” Abby recalled. The wedding colors—Peter Pan green and coastal blue—echoed the natural beauty of the bay, creating a serene and elegant palette.
