In her own words
Q. How did you meet?
A. In history class at Presbyterian College – we sat beside each other. Bride was a freshman; groom was a sophomore. A few members of the wedding party were in the same class.
Q. When did you know your fiance(e)/spouse was “the one”?
A. Within a year of dating, we knew it was serious, but after going on a mission trip to Haiti, we knew we were going to eventually marry. (The leader of the trip was wedding officiant Dr. Jeri Perkins.)
Q. Tell us about the proposal.
A. He took me back to the place where we had our first date, Stella’s in Simpsonville. He was so nervous that he couldn’t ask me in the restaurant, so he waited til we were leaving and walked outside.
Q. What are you most looking forward to about your wedding day?
A. Dancing to all the songs we listened to in college.
Q. How did you choose the church where you were/will be married?
A. It’s my family church.
Q. What was the significance of the music played during your ceremony?
A. Bagpipes for bridal processional and recessional were a tribute to both family’s Scottish heritage, and the duet “In Christ Alone” is a favorite song of ours that was sung by the bride’s brother and friend Brooks Arpad Darazs (also a Presbyterian College student).
