The carousel begins with images of Nicolette, Justin, and MacDowell each holding Cozette. The bride is wearing what appears to be a white dress with spaghetti straps and pearl drop earrings, and her hair is twisted in waves featuring a braid across the crown, affixed with flowers. Based on the photos, Cozette is donning a white dress with a tulle skirt, a floral-embroidered top, and a bow in her hair. For the occasion, Justin sported a black tuxedo, a white dress shirt, and a black bow tie. For her mother-of-the-groom duties, MacDowell wore a long-sleeve navy dress with metallic stripes, and she accessorized with gold hoops and a gold bangle and tied her locks back in a ponytail.
The series of pictures also exhibits the newlyweds and their daughter posing outside in front of a sunset wearing different attire. Then, the carousel goes back to the wedding day, including a snap of a man playing the guitar, a sweet shot of MacDowell embracing her son, and more family photos in front of a body of water beside a mountain.
