Matthew Porter & Jennifer Kolb

March 30, 2019

 

Proud Tigers Matthew and Jennifer met at Clemson University and began dating during their junior year. After graduation, the pair moved together to Charleston. Matthew surprised Jennifer with a waterside proposal near Jennifer’s hometown of New Bern, North Carolina, as well as a family- and friend-filled after party. Matthew’s grandfather married the couple at John Wesley United Methodist Church, and their reception was held at theGaillard Center. There, an artist did a live painting of the wedding celebration to commemorate Matthew and Jennifer’s marriage in an exceptionally romantic way.
