A transplant from Virginia, Weston “Wes” McAfee vividly remembers the first time he saw his future bride-to-be. Charleston native Dana Elaine...
Years after their parents became fast friends during a chance encounter at Accent on Wine in Summerville, Chelsie and Chris both settled down in Charleston, never having met despite their families being close. Chelsie, who runs the gymnastics program for the city of Charleston, fell head over heels for elementary school art teacher Chris during their first date strolling the sands of Sullivan’s Island; he asked her to marry him on the very same beach two years later. The two were wed in an intimate ceremony with hundreds of candles at the Creek Club at I’On, followed by a cozy reception.
