Wedding Day

Our Wedding

It all began in 2018 when we met in a high school financial aid class. What started as casual conversations soon turned into a close friendship — the kind where we were always laughing and finding excuses to spend time together. We even ended up working side by side at Smoothie King, blending smoothies and sharing stories.Our first official date was actually our high school homecoming — a night full of fun, dancing, and memories we’ll never forget. Afterward, we grabbed sushi, and on the way home, Chance asked Emily to be his girlfriend. It was October 26, 2019 and the start of something truly special.After five amazing years of growing together, Chance proposed on the beach at Sullivan’s Island. The ocean breeze, the soft sand, and the quiet beauty of the moment made it feel like something out of a dream. It was romantic, meaningful, and unforgettable.What we love most about our relationship is that, no matter what, we’re best friends at the end of the day. We've shared so many milestones side by side, and now we can't wait to begin this next chapter — together forever.
