When you keep ending up in the same spot and locking eyes with someone, it starts to become obvious that it’s meant to be. A coffee shop is where it all began for Christina and Evan back in college...
After growing up together in New Fairfield, Connecticut, Valerie and TJ reconnected in 2014, when she was living in Charleston and he in Fort Myers, Florida. They dated long distance for a year before Valerie relocated to Florida, and eventually, the pair decided to return to the Lowcountry. Days before the big move, TJ proposed during a walk on the beach at sunset, and in April, they wed under an oak tree at Wingate Plantation on John’s Island. Though a tornado warning and 60-mph winds threatened the outdoor reception, the storm soon passed, and the duo and their guests resumed celebrating under the tent. The couple now lives in Mount Pleasant.
