In her own words

Q: How did you meet?

A: We met while we were both living in Charleston.

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

A: The groom was a complete gentleman from day one. I knew he would become a wonderful husband and father if I was lucky enough to keep him!

Q: Tell us about the proposal.

A: Trevor proposed on his birthday in Mount Pleasant. He took me for “a walk” on the Pitt Street Bridge in Old Village and proposed shortly before our best friends and family surprised us. We spent the rest of the day eating seafood and toasting with champagne.

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

A: I am most looking forward to meeting Trevor’s eyes when standing at the top of the aisle.

Q: How did you choose the venue where you will be married?

A: The second we walked through Wavering Place, we knew it was our dream venue. We feel like we’re traveling back in time.

Q: What was the significance of the music played during your ceremony?

A: “Clair de Lune” by Claude Debussy will be played as the mothers walk down the aisle and was also played when my grandmothers walked down the aisle at my parents’ wedding in 1977.

The bride will walk down the aisle to “Can’t Help Falling in Love” which was inspired by the melody from French song “Plaisir D’amour.” The bridesmaids will walk to “Plaisir D’amour.”

Q: Will you have something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue? What are they?

A: Something old: vintage French enamel, pearl and diamond earrings from my dad.

Something new: to be determined.

Something blue: Stuart Weitzman blue heels.

Something borrowed: a diamond necklace from my mom.
