Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Bobby and Nelly met on their first day of classes freshman year at Chapel Hill. It wasn’t long before their friendly, albeit awkward, work encounters became weekly lunch dates at their local dining hall. Bobby was drawn towards Nelly's radiant smile and spunky personality, while Nelly could not resist Bobby's dry humor and go-getter attitude. We’ve since graduated. spent a year in a long distance relationship and relocated to Charlotte where we adopted the most precious little kitten, Penny Lane. Now, after nearly 6 years together, we can’t wait to tie the knot and start our happily ever after!
