19 Jun, 2021The story of our wedding
We got married at Keswick Vineyards in Charlottesville, Va on June 19,2021. We have been dating since high school (12 years) and couldn't wait for our big day. Our ceremony was set against the beautiful backdrop of vineyards and the Blue Ridge Mountains surrounded by our closest family and friends. We had about 185 guests attend. Our golden retriever, Summer, was our ring bearer. We had our reception under Keswick's beautiful white tent, garnished with white and green florals and soft candles- creating a romantic, inviting, and intimate feel for our guests. Our guests never left the dance floor. We did a sparkler exit and left in our getaway car ( a 1940 Senior Packard Limousine in pearl white).
Will and I had been dating for 12 years, both growing up in Newport News Va and attending the University of Virginia for college. Upon graduating, we did almost 5 years of long distance- I moved to California for grad school and Will to Atlanta. We then continued to do long distance as I worked in Charlotte, NC and Will got his MBA at Duke. We got engaged last summer (June 20,2021) at Figure 8 Island. I was completely shocked as Will got done on one knee on the beach as we went on a walk. Shortly after, our families surprised us and we spent the weekend celebrating with our families.

Our favorite part of our wedding was taking a moment after the ceremony to privately saw vows we had written to one another. It was such a special and intimate moment and we were glad we reserved that for just the two of us. We decided not to do a first look, since we both wanted that moment of first seeing every other to be as I walked down the aisle. That was definitely another favorite moment. I couldn't stop smiling as I walked for the aisle looking at Will feeling so lucky to be marrying my best friend.
