They say you meet your soulmate before 25...They say you meet your soulmate before 25...

John and Courtney didn't necessarily know that was true. John and Courtney's love story started right here in downtown Charleston at the Revelry Brewing rooftop at their legendary Halloween party, where John was dressed up as a Mario Kart character with a fake mustache and Courtney as an 80’s workout Barbie in a pink leotard. And the rest was history. They immediately connected and the more and more they shared the more they realized they had been bumping elbows through much of their teenage life and the invisible string theory ran true... If you don't know about the invisible string theory, it says that soulmates are always connected by an invisible string and have likely been in the same place at the same time and crossed paths many times before. How many PeeWee football games did they pass each other? They definitely were with the same crew sneaking in water bottles to the Brad Paisley lawn concert in 2008... They found out they (and their families!) were both at family weekend at University of Arizona in 2010 at SAE likely grabbing beers out of the same kiddie pools! They bumped elbows at countless Stagecoach festivals, Courtney even taking a group photo John and his friends at one of the pregame parties. And then really "meeting" for the first time in Charleston, SC. They always seemed to have the "invisible string" keeping them tethered. Call it what you want to call it, but they call it fate.
