Hi, friends and family! We are honored you’ll be celebrating with us. Our story began four summers ago, and we are so excited to have you all with us as we say “I do” this summer! A camping trip with friends in 2016 kicked off our friendship. Since then, we’ve been in the same circles—at backyard luaus, birthdays, church events, and Halloween gatherings (Erin was a skunk, Jonathan was a sumo wrestler in an inflatable suit). We’d always admired each other, but our timing was off. Erin was traveling for work non-stop, Jonathan was pursuing a lifelong dream of living on a sailboat in Charleston. 
 But in 2019 the Lord’s timing was right. On our first date in May, it was clear we were a perfect match. Our relationship took off. When our lives combined, they were full of spontaneity and laughter. Our friends multiplied as we got to know each other’s communities, and our separate dreams just became more fun with each other. Jonathan loves the travel. Erin loves the sailboat (what’s not to love?). Together, we have grown as we walk with the Lord towards our callings, challenged one another, dreamed for the future, and embraced the fullness of life together. We invite you to join us as we enter the next phase in our adventure: becoming the Carpenters. Cheers! Erin and Jonathan
