After thinking we had reservations at Wild Olive, I couldn't wait to get home. As I walked up to the front door, see the dogs in their bow ties. It smelled like food, so I was a little confused. I walked in, saw all my favorite wines on the island, Brandon cooking two of my favorite meals he makes, mostaccioli and Mexican dip. Let's not forget he was in one of my favorite outfits. I still didn't get what was happening, so I walked to the garage and laundry room thinking my mom was hiding somewhere. I came back to the kitchen and Brandon asked me to come over by the stove. He gave me a hug and then I saw that- little black box. I couldn't believe it. It was so unexpected and it was the perfect way. His way. Another amazing moment to add to our home and cherish the blessing of being engaged in our very first home together. The rest is history :)

We’re so blessed to share our day with y’all! We can't wait to share this exciting time in our lives, celebrate with good food, fun, and being with those we love. We wouldn't be who we are, without y'all in our lives. Before Brandon and I met, we both were on our own journey's and one day God brought us together. It was then he knew we were ready for each other and for us to share our hearts and lives together. I couldn't be more honored to be marrying the man of my dreams. We're so excited to share this next chapter in our lives with you. See y’all in Charleston!!

Perched high on her bluff overlooking the Stono River, also known as the Intracoastal Waterway, at the start of the 1800s she served as a 24-hour general store for the Ferry that docked on her property. The 24-hour ferry carried people from the mainland over to what is now John’s Island. It’s unclear just how long the “convenience store” operated, but it’s reasonable to deduce that after the ferry stopped running, the store also eventually stopped operating. In 1974, William Jarvis – a local business owner of a telecom company – purchased the estate as a weekend getaway for his wife and 10 children. The estate on the bluff remained in the Jarvis family well after their father passed away. In 1992, several of the children decided they wanted to sell and so the parcels of land on the riverfront were divided from the rest and the property was sold. Apparently unaware of the historical significance of the building that stood on his new property, the new owner decided to tear down the house and make room for a much larger, more modern home. The Jarvis sons struck a deal with the buyer and purchased the home for $1.00. With considerable engineering help, they had the historical home moved to its present location, still on the original parcel of land purchased by William Jarvis in 1974.
