When Slutty Vegan’s Pinky Cole put out a call for couples wanting to “sluttify” their wedding day, hundreds responded.

Cole is now set to host her first-ever wedding at the restaurant’s Edgewood location on February 13.

The lucky couple are Joyce and James, and they’ll be legally united by Pinky Cole herself. The Slutty Vegan founder and CEO is no stranger to romance herself, having gotten engaged last year to fellow Atlanta restauranteur Derrick Hayes, of Big Dave’s Cheesesteaks. The two are set to marry sometime this year.

“Slutty Vegan knows how to party, and we’re going to do just that!” Cole said in a press release. “It’s beautiful to see the community join us in making this day magical for our bride and groom.”

Cole has pulled together a dynamic list of talent from across the community to help the lucky couple celebrate their special day.

“Events by Mesita, Clea Murray Designer, Nine Designs, A Mane Event, Special Day Entertainment, DJ Ace Star, Designer Bee Events, Rich Off Diamonds, Sam & Izzy’s Sweets, Fortune Luxury Concierge, Carrie’s Bridal Collection, Unique Threads, Events by Jes and Salt & Pepper Productions. Hair and makeup will be by Janie James and Candace Rhymes, and talent will be provided by saxophonist Trey Daniels and JaTavia Akiaa, who won Slutty Vegan’s wedding singer competition on social media. The celebration will feature a slew of non-traditional yet on-brand elements including a flower girl tossing fries down the aisle and a photoshoot of the couple next to the Slutty Vegan food truck,” according to the release.
