Our Wedding

Sam was visiting her sister, Danielle, in Charlotte, NC. With a right swipe and some convincing, Sam agreed to go on a date with a random man, who we now know is Parker. They hit it off so much that Parker agreed to drive 8 hours to Delaware for New Years Eve that same year. Sam ended up moving to Hilton Head Island at the beginning of 2021. Sam and Parker then continued their relationship through long distance as Parker was in Charlotte about 4 hours away. They saw each other almost every weekend, traveling back and forth or meeting somewhere in the middle. Eventually, Sam and Parker decided to move to Wilmington, NC together at the end of 2022. After moving in together, getting a dog, and buying their first home, Parker planned a trip to the North Carolina Mountains in November 2023. Parker woke Sam up super early to hike to beautiful Roaring Forks Waterfall where he proposed. We cannot wait to celebrate our love with you all!

It all began with a right swipe...

OTHER OPTIONS There are many boutique hotels and bed and breakfasts in downtown Wilmington (see below). You can also look at AirBNB or VRBO which also offer houses throughout the Wilmington area. **Please note the location of the Airbnb/VRBO as Wilmington is a large area so you could be anywhere from 0-30 min away from downtown (which is where the majority of events will take place). ALSO we recommend staying anywhere between the River and no further than 6th Street as this will be the safest areas** 1.
