Braden Smith & Courtney Shea

March 9, 2019
Auburn University alums Courtney and Braden met a few times on campus before he caught the hint that she was trying to catch his eye. When Braden finally asked for her number, he simultaneously asked for her friend’s digits. (He explained later he was awkwardly trying not to be rude.) When he walked away, Courtney promptly told her pal that if he liked the woman, they couldn’t be friends anymore. Luckily, she had nothing to fear. Within six months, Courtney and Braden knew a wedding was in their future. The bride, who owns her own photography company, Ninety Three Creative, and groom, an Indianapolis Colts right tackle, exchanged vows in the May River Chapel in the River House at Montage Palmetto Bluff.
