Ali and Lucas' story began the summer of 2016 when Lucas walked into the restaurant Ali was working in at the time. Lucas mustered up the courage to ask Ali out on a date, which she notoriously showed up for 45 minutes late. It was worth the wait though, and the two spent the next four years seeing the country, raising their hedgehog daughter, dancing badly at countless shows, and laughing at jokes no one else could understand before embarking on their biggest adventure yet - moving to South Carolina. Ali and Lucas spent two years living in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains and exploring the Southeast - where they learned all about the ritual of porch sitting and sweet tea, when the magnolias bloom, and the art of two-stepping to zydeco. On one of their many weekend getaways, they fell in love with Charleston - and ultimately decided they would say their vows under the canopy of the live oaks and Spanish moss. Though their ceremony will be a private one, they can't wait to come home and do what they do best - throw one hell of a party. Their reception will be inspired by their travels - celebrating some of their favorite regional food and cocktails, and good times with the people they love most. We can't wait to see you. All our love, Ali and Lucas
