Carly and Connor’s story began at Clemson during their sophomore year. Although they somehow hadn’t met yet, Connor was already friends with all of Carly’s friends—so it was only a matter of time. One invitation to a function later, and the rest was history. After graduating from Clemson, life took them in different directions: Carly headed to Chicago while Connor moved to Charlotte. Distance didn’t stand a chance. Countless plane rides, weekend visits, and FaceTime calls later, it became clear that no matter the city, they were always meant to be together. Eventually, Carly made the move back to Charlotte, where their long-distance chapter happily came to an end. Not long after, Connor popped the question—and now they’re so excited to celebrate the next chapter of their story with the people they love most.
