ADVERTISER SPOTLIGHT<br />
A New<br />
Susan Marquez<br />
Audrey Jarvis McCarty has to pinch herself<br />
from time to time to believe she makes a living<br />
doing something she has such a passion for.<br />
She has always loved weddings, as well as<br />
fashion and design.<br />
Since high school, Audrey has worked at The Bridal Path,<br />
a business with a fifty-year history in Mississippi of outfitting<br />
brides for their special day. “I was in college studying fashion<br />
design and merchandising when the opportunity arose for our<br />
family to buy the business. At the time, I was trying to decide<br />
what to do after graduation – maybe going to New York or<br />
something, but the Lord has a funny sense of humor.”<br />
Despite being a planner by nature, Audrey says the things<br />
that are the biggest deals in her life are the things she didn’t<br />
plan at all. “His plans are so much bigger than mine,” she says.<br />
Audrey was just 21 when she took over the business in 2018.<br />
“Owning The Bridal Path was my dream fulfilled, or at least I<br />
thought it was.”<br />
