In her own words

Q: How did you meet?

A: We met through an internet dating website.

Q: When did you know your fiance was “the one”?

A: On a trip to Edisto, we were walking on the beach at night. We stopped to stargazed when Frank asked me to dance with him. I sang while we danced, and I knew he was the one.

Q: Tell us about the proposal.

A: Frank and I love to go fishing. On March 4, 2016, we planned to go fishing but awoke to a very gray, rainy day. So we didn’t go fishing, but later in the day, it cleared up, so we drove out to Clark’s Hill Lake (Lake Thurmond). While standing on a dock and looking out over the water, he proposed.

Q: What part of the wedding day are you most looking forward to?

A: We’re looking forward to just celebrating with all our family and friends.
