Our Wedding

Our Story

Ellis and Collin first met the summer of 2022 playing pick up volleyball but truly became friends the summer of 2023. Collin was just graduating from Clemson with a degree in Chemistry and Ellis was a sophomore pursuing her degree and playing volleyball for Queens University of Charlotte. Once becoming friends, they began to hang out outside of volleyball- playing pickleball, disc golf, and hanging out around downtown Greer. That summer, Collin asked Ellis to go on an official date with him while at her gran's house on Lake Robinson. Two years later to the day, Ellis got to say YES to marrying Collin at the same spot.

Wedding Party

We would love for guests to dress black-tie optional. We would love to see some fun pops of color in the crowd too!

**The ceremony and reception will be held indoors with air conditioning! A short "mocktail hour" will be held while the space is flipped. So dress prepared to spend a little time in the heat!
