McCarron and Perrin were married on May 24, 2025, at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Grenada, Mississippi, the same church where Perrin’s parents were married years ago. They got ready and celebrated their reception at Alvastage Acres in Duck Hill. Their colors were navy, light blue, and white, and the whole day felt like the end of a story that started years earlier.
Perrin says she knew she was going to marry McCarron back in the 8th grade, after seeing him at a party. For McCarron, it clicked on a night out early on in Grenada. “I knew right then,” he said. “This is the one. I’m not gonna let her go.”
Perrin wore a strapless sweetheart gown with lace detailing, a long train, and a long sheer veil, finished with lace-patterned white flats. McCarron and his groomsmen wore navy suits with light blue ties and brown shoes, and the bridesmaids wore floor-length light blue off-the-shoulder dresses. Perrin revealed her gown to her bridesmaids on a brick patio, then shared a first look with McCarron, who was visibly moved, and later a first look with her father.
Perrin gave McCarron a tub labeled “Our journey to the altar,” filled with receipts and mementos she had saved from their entire relationship. Then, holding hands through an open door, they read letters to each other. Perrin read from a pink journal she began writing to her future husband in the 9th grade: “Me and you do fit like a glove. And I have been waiting a very long time to say that I am Perrin Clausel.” McCarron told her he was excited to lead her in their marriage and become one officially.
The ceremony filled the church sanctuary. Perrin’s father, Kevin Jackson, pastor of Grace Baptist, officiated. After his sermon, McCarron and Perrin exchanged traditional vows and rings, shared communion, and lit a unity candle before being pronounced husband and wife.
At Alvastage Acres, the reception had an indoor space and a covered patio with string lights and wooden picnic tables, with a script sign reading “The Clausels.” Guests dropped notes into a “Well Wishes” bowl, tables were marked with childhood photos of the couple, and dinner was barbecue. The five-tier white cake sat alongside a duck hunting groom’s cake topped with a mallard and a sign reading “The Hunt Is Over 5-24-25.”
After the first dance, the father-daughter dance, and the mother-son dance, Perrin skipped the bouquet toss and dedicated her bouquet to her mom, who planned the whole wedding. Guests then lit sparklers for a send-off, and McCarron and Perrin drove away in a vintage red convertible. Shortly after the wedding, the newlyweds were featured on HGTV’s House Hunters.
Congratulations, McCarron and Perrin. Thank you for letting us tell your story.
