Our Wedding

They say love finds you when you least expect it, and that couldn’t be truer for us. Neither of us were looking for love at the time, and Kelsie had just one rule: never date a coworker. But fate, and a very persistent Andrew had other plans. Long before we officially met, he was already asking about “the cute, smart girl down the hall,” hoping our paths would cross. And when they finally did, everything changed.From our very first date at Hall’s Chophouse in Columbia, South Carolina, we knew something was different. Over dry-aged steaks, Old Fashioneds, and endless laughter, we felt an instant connection and undeniable spark. Not long after, Andrew invited Kelsie to the company Christmas party as his date, and by then, we both knew something special was beginning.A few months into our relationship, we both took on exciting new jobs; Kelsie in process improvement and Andrew in global supply chain - which brought Andrew to Durham, North Carolina. For over a year and a half, we navigated long distance, with weekend visits, late-night FaceTimes, and those bittersweet hugs at every goodbye. In February 2024, Kelsie moved to Durham to join Andrew, and we were beyond excited to start this beautiful chapter of our lives together.After two and a half years together, Andrew proposed in Durham, our first home together, and a place full of special memories. On August 10, 2024, surrounded by our siblings and in-laws (a surprise Kelsie didn’t see coming!), he got down on one knee in the heart of the American Tobacco District. We celebrated that night with dinner at our all-time favorite spot, Seraphine, and rooftop drinks at The Durham Hotel.We now call Cary, North Carolina home, where life is full of laughter thanks to our beloved fur sons, Ziggy and Levi, and their endless brotherly antics. We share a love for traveling, spending time with our families and friends, discovering new restaurants, collecting bourbons, and cooking side by side; Andrew as the executive chef, Kelsie as the chief taste-tester. Whether we’re working out or enjoying long walks hand in hand, every moment together is a gift. Our days are filled with joy, laughter, and love and we feel incredibly blessed.Choosing to get married in Pawleys Island feels like coming full circle. Andrew was born and raised in South Carolina, and Kelsie fell in love with Pawleys during her college years at Coastal Carolina. Over time, through countless visits and now working for a company based right here, it’s become a special haven for both of us - a place that holds so much peace, love, and beautiful memories.From the beginning, our story has been written with the love of those who’ve walked beside us. We’re beyond grateful to celebrate the start of our forever in a place that feels like home, with the people who feel like home, too.

Travel

This is where the magic of Pawleys truly comes alive. Take a stroll on the beach, watch the sunrise, or head to The Point for quiet views and maybe even a shark tooth or two. It’s a spot we’ve always loved, and we hope you’ll find it just as peaceful.

Pawleys Island Beach & The Point

One of our favorite places to take a slow walk and soak up the beauty of South Carolina. This massive sculpture garden and wildlife preserve is perfect for art lovers, plant lovers, and anyone who enjoys a quiet afternoon outdoors.

Brookgreen Gardens

Just down the road, this is a must-see for nature lovers. Walk the trails, sit and relax on the gorgeous beach, explore Atalaya Castle, and keep an eye out for gators and birds! It’s one of the most beautiful state parks on the coast (and our favorite).

Huntington Beach State Park

We love exploring this quaint village, full of locally owned shops, unique gifts, and, of course, the iconic Pawleys Island rope hammocks. Our top picks are Barefoot General Store and Pawleys Island Mercantile. It’s the perfect spot to pick up a souvenir or simply enjoy a leisurely afternoon under the oaks.

Hammock Shops Village

This is our favorite little shop in Pawleys Island—and a must-visit if you're looking for local gifts, home goods, or just the cutest coastal merchandise! Whether you're after a keepsake or a Pawleys-branded t-shirt or crewneck, Driftwood has it all (and then some). It’s the kind of place you walk into for "just one thing" and leave with your arms full. Trust us on this one!

Driftwood Mercantile

A cozy gem with delicious wood-fired pizzas, fresh pastas, and homemade desserts. We love swinging by for a casual lunch—or just to grab a cannoli or three. It’s perfect for families or a quick, satisfying meal between wedding weekend events.

Landolfi's Italian Bakery

Pawleys Tap House &amp; Grill is one of our go-to spots for happy hour or a pre-dinner drink! We’re big fans of the self-pour beer wall loaded with local and craft brews. Grab a drink, share some apps like the Philly steak egg rolls and mac and cheese flight, and soak in the good vibes.

Pawleys Tap House & Grill

The Murrells Inlet MarshWalk is one of our favorite places to stroll, snack, and catch a sunset. We always stop at Dead Dog Saloon for their hush puppies with honey butter, live music, and a drink by the water. Don’t miss a sunset sip at the Tuna Shak (right next to Wicked Tuna) and snap a photo on the pier! For a more upscale dinner, Wahoo’s Fish House and The Wicked Tuna serve up some of the best local seafood.

The Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk

One of our all-time favorite hangouts! This lively waterfront spot on the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk has everything—great seafood, strong cocktails, and live music almost every night. It’s laid-back, dog-loving, and a whole lot of fun. Grab a seat on the patio overlooking the water and toast with a frozen drink or cold beer. It’s the kind of place where you can show up in flip flops and stay all night.

Dead Dog Saloon

If you’re a golfer (or traveling with one), you're in luck—Pawleys is known for its world-class courses. Pawleys Plantation, Caledonia, True Blue, and The Heritage Club are all beautiful and challenging favorites.
