The wedding week celebration began on Wednesday evening with wine and cheese for the immediate family members of the couple at the historic Nomini Hall in Westmorland County hosted by Dr. and Mrs. Randall Scarrow. On Thursday evening, parties were hosted by both families for out of town guests. On Friday morning, the day began with a sailing adventure on one of the last voyages of the Skipjack named Wilma Lee from Lynch Pont hosted by Herb and Liz Carden; Wilma Lee has since been donated to Ocracoke. After sailing, the Morris family hosted lunch on the water and in the evening following the rehearsal, the Groom's family hosted an old fashioned pig pickin' catered by Elton Layden of Farmville on the grounds of Nomini Hall with music provided by Trey Epps of Darlington Heights, VA. It was an evening of reflection with speeches, toasts, and a time of sharing fond memories from both families.

When the big day arrived, excitement was in the air along with a few clouds in the sky but no rain. Lunch brought a crab feast hosted by childhood friends of the Bride's mother, The LeCompte Family. With a perfect view of the Potomac River on the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, the ceremony began at 6 PM. The Mother of the bride was seated by her son, Ben Morris, as well as escorted by the family dog, Ellie. The Groom seated his mother. The ceremony was officiated by the bride's Uncle, Henry William Flint of Charlotte, NC. Readings were given by Drew Sanderford of Blacksburg, VA, a long time friend of the bride, and Clint Seckman, college friend of the groom from Lynchburg, VA. Hunter Flint, from Arusha, Tanzania, cousin of the bride, performed music during the ceremony. Siblings of both the bride and groom offered a “sharing of hopes” for the couple. Short readings were also given by Adam Stoltzfus, Adam Garrett, Sarah Flint and Leigh Stisser.

The attire for the wedding party was simple yet elegant. All of the Groomsmen wore the traditional southern gentleman's summer attire–seersucker pants and vest accented with pink ties. The Bridesmaids were dressed in gold from head to toe–dress, shoes and accent jewelry. The bridal gown was a silk ivory dress with a crossover bodice designed by JCrew. The jewelry worn by the bride were family heirlooms of maternal grandmother, the late Claire McMullan, including a diamond engagement ring and a diamond bracelet. The bride wore baby's breath in her hair. She was escorted by her father and given in marriage by her father, mother, brother, and sister (Kate is a triplet). The bouquets carried by the bride and bridesmaids were composed of Hostas, Bells of Ireland and purple, blue and green Hydrangeas from the garden of a family friend and were arranged by the mother of the bride, aunt of the bride, Lynn Morris ,and family friend, Liz Carden.

After being pronounced husband and wife, all gathered for pictures while hors d'oeuvres and drinks were served. Bluegrass music at this time was provided by the Craig County Boys of Southwest VA. The father of the bride welcomed everyone for dinner while the father of the groom offered the blessing. Dinner was catered by Prue Davis Catering which is local to the Sandy Point area. Dinner was followed by toasts, dancing with music by DJ John Aiken, and a slice of homemade pie provided by the wedding guest. Flowers that accented the tables at the reception were from a local gardener, Betty King, and arranged by the ladies who arranged the bouquets. The evening was topped by fireworks provided by a college friend, Scott Beaver. At the end of the evening the couple departed under the light of sparklers held by family and friends. At that time, they hopped on a bicycle built for two hosting a just married sign as they rode off into the moonlight to their honeymoon cottage on the water.

It was a week of celebrations, of friendships being renewed, a coming together of two families, and the union of the hearts of Kate and Hunter. The festivities officially ended the next morning with breakfast on the water hosted by the bride's family.
