When Caitlann Arant and Josh Belflower met at Mercer University, the undergrads shared an undeniable connection grounded in faith, friendship, and the rare trait that both are twins. “We could talk for hours about anything and everything,” she remembers. These adorable birds of a feather took to calling one another “silly goose.” When the couple learned that geese mate for life, the playful nickname evolved into something more meaningful.
Three years into their courtship, Josh curated a perfect engagement that unfolded with a handwritten letter, Caitlann’s dream ring with a hidden pink heart diamond, and a magical proposal along the Avenue of Oaks at The Lodge at Sea Island. Charmed by the Spanish moss-draped trees, the Georgia natives found themselves drawn to the Holy City for their nuptials. “Charleston offered the romantic, historic, fairy-tale setting we had always envisioned,” says the bride.
On a glorious evening in June, surrounded by blush-toned florals and 200 loved ones, Caitlann and Josh exchanged vows at the elegant Legare Waring House. With the help of planner Alexandra Woodlief of Alexandra Madison Weddings, the intentional pair added meaningful touches to the polished celebration, from having guests highlight their favorite verses in the couple’s personal Bible to weaving bellflowers into every bouquet and centerpiece. The couple also gently embraced a goose theme, incorporating antique decorative geese into their decor and customizing the groom’s tie with pink goose feathers. His ring even boasted a goose engraving. In keeping with their fairy-tale romance, Caitlann and Josh departed the ceremony in a horse-drawn carriage, marking the beginning of their happily ever after.
