Our Wedding

Davis and Hannah love to joke that there's a short and a long version as to how they met. The short version, is that they originally connected on a Christian dating app called Upward. The two briefly chatted, but nothing came out of the app and the two went on about life. Months later, they met face to face in a co-ed bible study. Hannah happened to join the bible study that Davis was attending, and immediately they both recognized each other... All that took place that night was a simple introduction, but it ignited a fire that began their love story. Their first date was at Optimist Hall in Charlotte, where they talked for hours. It was evident that the connection was immediate, and that God was orchestrating something beautiful. The two started dating on October 24th, 2024 and spent the following days and months meeting each other's families (and yes, the entirety of Hannah's Italian family at Christmas). Davis has also grown to love Frank, Hannah's french bulldog, and Frank loves him. One of the most important seals of approval. Fast forward to August 1st, 2025 and the two got engaged on the beach (in the pouring rain, Notebook style) in Beaufort, North Carolina near Davis' grandparents house. It was an unforgettable day with parents and family by their side. Blessed be the story that God is writing in their lives and it is their hope that you will be present to witness their commitment and covenant to each other on May 10th, 2026 in Savannah, Georgia!

Dress Code

Wormsloe State Historic Site

One of my favorite places to see! A new trolley takes visitors down this long avenue sheltered by live oaks and Spanish moss, one of the state's most photographed locations. In addition to the breathtaking sight of the avenue, you can see the oldest standing structure in Savannah, Wormsloe's tabby ruin, and learn about the first group of settlers from England.

Forsyth Park

Savannah's largest and oldest public park. Don't miss the iconic 1858 fountain, a must-photograph spot. At any given time, the park hosts concerts and recreational sports, and on Saturdays, swing by to catch the farmers market!

River Street

Cobblestone streets with tons of shops and restaurants, and a cool riverfront view! Go on a riverboat cruise along the river or a trolley tour through the city.
