Our Wedding

Caroline and Edward met in January 2018 through a group of mutual friends. They went on their first date in September 2018 to Cookout for milkshakes. Though nerves were running high, the date went well and carried on to Mud Island for some sight seeing and then the couple watched Shrek 2 (until 2am). They were smitten from the first date and since then, the couple has been inseparable and have enjoyed many adventures together. Some of the adventures include: Adopting their first dog Piper (almost 3) in 2018 and their second dog Molly (4 1/2), in 2019. Edward also became a cat dad to Caroline's cat Jazz. The Finestones have taught Caroline how to surf, ski, and wakeboard at the lake and Ski at Deer Valley. Caroline and Edward have also travelled to 6 states together (Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Utah, Mississippi, Michigan, and Missouri) and many, MANY trips to Red Koi for sushi. They have both graduated from the University of Memphis and have started their full time positions at AutoZone and Hutchison School! Caroline is currently working on her Masters in Early Childhood Education. The couple got engaged in November 2020 and also purchased their first home together! The couple are not only madly in love but are also the best of friends. The bride and groom cannot wait for their union in less than 1 year and to share this special day with their friends and loved ones!

Our Story

Hey there! My name is Tessa and I met Caroline during the beginning of our sorority recruitment at the University of Memphis, where we ended up becoming sisters and the best of friends. I have had the privilege of knowing Caroline for about 5 years now and I can't imagine life without her ray of sunshine. My favorite things about the bride and groom is the  love that both bring to not just the relationship but to everyone else around them. It's been a special privilege watching them bloom from the start of their relationship to now and both have only grown more sunshine and positivity since the beginning. I love you both with all my heart!

Hey y’all ! My name is Sam and I’m Caroline’s favorite (and only) sister !! I am often known for carrying the crippling weight of being the funniest person in my entire family. My back is fine, thank you for asking. Me and Caroline have been going strong since 2001, and while it makes me sad that I can’t have her being my roommate forever, I do love getting to be the cool aunt for their sweet pups. Speaking of they, Caroline really couldn’t have picked a better person to be with! I knew Edward was a keeper once he was down for a Harry Potter movie marathon. Signed, sealed, delivered, am i right ?? I am so proud of the accomplishments Caroline and Edward have already had together and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them. Love you guys !!

Since then I have loved watching her and Edward grow closer together as a couple and I am so excited to watch their love grow stronger. One thing I love about Caroline and Edward is they push each other to learn new things and it has been a joy watching Edward teach Caroline to ski which is one of family's favorite activities! A fun fact about is I am very active and love sports! I have completed 2 half marathons, a global 60-mile bike challenge, and am an avid Pittsburgh Penguins hockey fan!

Hello! My name is Esper! A fun fact about me is that I am currently working on my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy at Washington University in St. Louis.

Hi, my name is Josh Hibbard. My go to fun fact is that I was born in Guam, yeah pretty cool I know. I met Edward when Caroline and Tessa were living together and they had just come back from an ice cream date, s’cute! That was back in 2018 I believe, so I’ve known Edward since then. But we didn’t start getting real close until the past year and a half. I figured if Tessa and Carol are going to be best friends, I might as well give him a chance, so far so good. One thing I do love about their relationship is how genuine it feels, and how much Edward loves her, you can tell that by the way he looks at her.

My name is Shane and I am from Michigan and moved down to Memphis a little over two years ago. Edward and Caroline were some of the first friends that my wife, Taylor, and I made when we moved down here. Caroline and Edward are very selfless people and would do anything for their friends and family. Their relationship is built on a solid foundation with honest and open communication, trust, and love. I'm excited to see these two get married!

My name is Samuel Thomas! One fun fact about me is that my Christmas tree stays up year round. Edward and I first met at our high school, Lausanne, in 2011. Something that I love about Caroline and Edward's relationship is how often and earnestly they share their love for one another. No one knows what tomorrow will bring, so it's important to make sure your loved ones always know how much you care. Caroline and Edward most certainly never go a day without knowing how much they mean to each other, and that's something worth celebrating.

Hello! My name is Denny (no middle name) Huynh. A fun fact about me is that I love to play basketball and collect basketball cards. If you’re down to hoop or trade hmu. I met Edward at a pregame before a fraternity party - pretty lit. We’ve known each other for approx. 3 years. Something that I respect and admire about Edward and Caroline’s relationship is how prominent their care and generosity for their friends are. It’s something that’s hard to genuinely find and what makes them so special. Congratulations Edward and Caroline!
