We have a room block at the Courtyard Marriott in Downtown Decatur (130 Clairemont Ave., Decatur, GA 30030). The hotel is literally 200 yards from the reception. To make a reservation, please call 1-888-236-2427 and mention the Hayward/McGuire wedding group. To get the special room rate, you will need to make a reservation by July 12th, 2012. Let us know if you have any issues.
The Courtyard is the hotel we’d recommend for out of town guests. But obviously Atlanta has plenty of hotels, so feel free to explore!

I have been blessed with the greatest friends in the world. I wouldn’t consider getting married without the following guys up there with me…(in the order I met them).
Evan Reiss, Brian Reeves, Drew Jefferson, Nate Walsh, Chris Harkness, Jeff Kuntz, Rolando Mora, David Lee. Or as they’re affectionately known: Ev, Reeves, Werd, Diz, Christal, JTK, Roly, and D.Liz.
They are all my “best men” and I am honored to have them in my wedding, but more importantly, I am honored to have them be such a big part of my life. Until next time… -Kevin

Posted in The Proposal
During Labor Weekend of 2011, I proposed to Madelyn on the beach at Anna Maria Island, FL — a place that is very near and dear to our hearts. Most of you have been there but for those who haven’t, my parents have a house just a few steps from the water. That house, that beach, and that island have been an amazing place for me to visit over the years and Madelyn has truly come to love it as well. It is my favorite place on earth because of the setting, the company, and the memories. Honestly, there was no other place I even considered for the proposal. There’s obviously more to this story…I’ll update later. Until next time… -Kevin
