Let's Get Married

In light of recent events, we have been extremely concerned about our plans for Chris and Elliott’s wedding this weekend and the health/safety of all those that have planned to join us in this celebration.  While our nation, state and local communities continue to evolve their response to the coronavirus threat, our plans for this celebration are also evolving.  While we are hopeful the wedding can take place as planned Saturday, other activities have been cancelled and the reception will now be hosted at our home because the Santee Canal Park is now closed to the public.  Because of both the threat and changes in venue, we have adjusted our plans to accommodate a smaller number of guests.  We understand that many family and friends who had planned to attend the wedding will not be able, and we respect and honor your decisions.    We are planning to broadcast the ceremony via Facebook Live to enable remote participation in lieu of congregating in person.  As more information about this broadcast becomes available, it will be posted to this website. Thanks for your love, thoughts, concerns, and understanding. God Bless you and yours, The Huxfords

On February 14, 2017 (yes, Valentine's Day), Elliott was working in the Chick-fil-A drive-thru and gave Chris a free ice dream cone. After bumping into each other at school and a few flirty exchanges, Chris asked Elliott out on an ice cream date (there's a pattern here)! We spent the rest of the Spring 2017 semester going on dates (brunch, picnics, and long car rides) and then a long summer apart. But on August 26, 2017, we became girlfriend and boyfriend and have not stopped loving each other since then!

Chris drove down to surprise Elliott in Charleston, SC on December 13, 2018. They spent the weekend together going to see Christmas lights, dinner dates, and movie nights. It was Sunday, December 16, 2018, and Chris was planning to take Elliott to Barsa (her favorite restaurant in Charleston, SC)! Before dinner, Chris took Elliott down a stroll on East Bay Street and led her to First Baptist Church of Charleston on Church Street. They have always enjoyed walking down these streets and reflecting on the past few months spent together so Elliott did not think this was out of the ordinary. However, Chris led Elliott around the side of the church where he got down on one knee and proposed! This was a beautiful, picture-perfect moment that we will cherish in our hearts forever!
