Both having recently graduated from college, Karen and Patrick met soon after both moving to Charlotte, North Carolina in the summer of 2018. They both began their careers at the same company which served as the perfect excuse for them to talk to each other over topics like SQL and math. It evolved past just workplace friends once Patrick invited Karen to a sunny Clemson football game.

When on a spring trip with their sweet puppy Belle, Patrick popped the question in Wilmington, North Carolina while on the beach. Immediately after, we were greeted by a pastor that was walking by that offered to marry us right then and there. Knowing that we wanted to celebrate with all of you, we said thank you, but no thank you.

Karen and Patrick have been lucky to have each other to share in their adventures together since 2018. Together, they have adopted their dog Belle, stayed in a tiny house on a mountain, and even ran a half marathon together! After 4 years together, we cannot wait to celebrate with all of you!
