A transplant from Virginia, Weston “Wes” McAfee vividly remembers the first time he saw his future bride-to-be. Charleston native Dana Elaine...
Taylor and Andrew met one another when they were at Georgia Southern University (she was on the swim team and he was the pitcher on the baseball team). Fast forward to four years later, Taylor was living in Indianapolis and Andrew was living in Savannah, Georgia. One day, while out running an errand for her boss, Taylor walked into a barn (the very place that was part of her “errand”) and found the biggest surprise of her life–Andrew surrounded by roses, down on one knee. And get this–the moment she said “yes,” it started to snow. We’re not making this stuff up, people! After a dreamy proposal that also ended in a hurrah with family and friends, the wedding planning began. Taylor previously visited Charleston, and fell in love immediately with the city (how could you not?) and thought that it was the perfect place to say “I do.” And get this: For the wedding, Taylor tells us that she only requested one thing–mac and cheese. (We totally support this decision and we may have just developed a girl crush.) And then, after the two had their “last dance” of the evening as man and wife, a bus picked everyone up so they could continue the party on King Street. Sounds like one soirée we’d definitely want to attend! Congrats to you both. See below for all of the images from their wedding, shot by Richard Bell.
