Inspired by her mother (a former Miss North Carolina USA), Morehouse has wanted to compete in pageants since she was seven years old. So, it was only fitting that her passion be incorporated into the wedding reception. Guests danced all night wearing light-up crowns and sashes with phrases like “Maine-ly Here to Party.”
