Mason Vischer & Kate Gharib

September 22, 2023
Virginians Kate and Mason began their love story in high school. Through dinner dates and football games, their relationship bloomed during their time as students at the University of South Carolina. A trip in 2022 brought the pair to the Holy City, where Mason’s plan to propose on a sailboat was thwarted by Hurricane Ian, prompting a landside proposal on Isle of Palms. The couple, who now call downtown Charleston home, held their wedding at Wild Dunes Resort, followed by a reception with a surprise appearance by USC mascot, Cocky.
