As many of you know, Ann Louise and Michael (Fields) met at Florida State University during undergrad (at a Spring Rush party, to be specific). Meeting through mutual friends, we realized how much we had in common. From our loves of craft beer, college football, travel, the occasional pug and good times most prominent. What started as a close friendship blossomed into so much more!

From Tallahassee to Washington, D.C. to New York, and everything in between, we've enjoyed so many amazing times together. Nine short (or long, depending on who you ask) years later, on the picturesque Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Italy, Fields finally popped the question! Believe it or not, Ann Louise was truly shocked. Florence has an extra special place in our hearts now, and we can't wait to go back to Italy many times in the future to commemorate this heartfelt moment.

Charleston has such a special place in our hearts, and we really appreciate you making the trip to celebrate with us. Ann Louise grew up vacationing at Kiawah Island with her family, just off the coast of Charleston. Once we started seriously dating, we began making these annual trips together, and fell in love with everything the city has to offer. We are so excited for you to share in our wedding, and cannot wait to take the next steps on our journey in life together!
