Kelly, a visual merchandiser and stylist, and Elias, a systems engineer, of Jacksonville, Florida, met at a small get-together organized by friends. Their courtship spanned five years and included moving, buying a house, and becoming cat parents together. After Elias proposed on Kelly’s birthday trip to Chicago, they invited their loved ones to Charleston—the bride’s favorite city—for their wedding at Runnymede Plantation.
