When they first moved to SC Dave wanted to buy a boat. So he would send Catherine photos of boats…and which boat he wanted to buy. One day…she sent him a photo of a ring that SHE would like, and told him that she’d much rather that. 🙂 Come to find out, he saved the image and three years later…bought a similar ring for her!
While living in Charleston, on their date night they traveled to Folly Beach to listen to a band in the freezing cold weather. Dave wanted to go for a walk but Catherine kept reminding him that it was SoOo cold. After a bit of convincing they strolled together until Catherine asked to sit since she was in high heeled boots. Their conversation naturally moved into a discussion about how they never thought they would be living there and how wonderful life was together. Dave then stood up, pulling her up with him until he knelt and asked her to marry him.
Catherine was completely caught off guard as they had never discussed rings, getting engaged or anything of the sort (other than humor-filled email years back).
Since, they have been planning their wedding. Catherine + Dave’s wedding was held in the courtyard of the Carriage House amongst friends and family followed by a reception at City Club. Catherine’s favorite purchase was her dress and their color palette was Blush, Gold, and Mint. The wedding was laid back and SOO much fun! And I’m so happy that Amelia and I were there to document their wedding day! 🙂 🙂
