Kiawah Island has held a special place in Abbey's heart since she was just three years old, when her family began vacationing to this hidden gem. From owning a condo in 2001 to becoming homeowners and residents of the island, the Meyers' love for Kiawah grew deeper with each passing year. Between the countless sunrises and sunsets, golf rounds, beach days, bike rides, sandcastles and dips in the ocean, Kiawah became Abbey's sanctuary. She was ecstatic to share her home away from home with John and make new memories together that they would cherish forever. A few memories to note include the 100 degree golf round at The Ocean Course, where John stepped on a snake but managed to par-out. The bride and groom also hold the annual Fourth of July "liquor dive" near and dear to their hearts, where they compete with hundreds of others for shooters and beer dropped into the pool at the Beach Club. Abbey and John's favorite memory will surely be May 16th, 2026 when they officially become husband and wife!
