Our Wedding

In 2021, Charlotte made the move from Columbia, South Carolina, to Dallas, Texas, eager to grow in her career. Just a month later, fate stepped in when a friend invited her to a Labor Day boat barge on Lake Grapevine. That’s where she met Ben, and their connection was immediate. They spent the day talking, which led to weeks of messaging and their first date at a Spanish tapas restaurant. The night was filled with laughter, plenty of sangria, and Ben enthusiastically sharing photo albums from his phone. Over the next three years, their relationship blossomed into something truly special. From creating unforgettable memories and exploring new places together to sushi nights and long walks with Charlotte's beloved husky, Millie, every moment brought them closer. On October 18, 2024, Ben planned a perfect proposal. During a quiet sunset boat ride on Cedar Creek Lake, he asked Charlotte to marry him. It was an intimate, heartfelt moment that captured their love story perfectly. Now, as they prepare for their wedding day, Charlotte and Ben are filled with excitement and gratitude. They can’t wait to celebrate their love surrounded by friends and family and look forward to the adventures that lie ahead.
