Question
Why North Carolina? Why Oak Island?
Answer
Carolina Beach (just one peninsula north of Oak Island) was our first extended getaway together (a whole month)—and it truly felt like something out of a Nicholas Sparks movie. We stayed only 100 steps from the ocean, watched the sunrise and sunset every day, wandered the boardwalk and sand dunes, and discovered our shared love for seafood boils. That trip sparked our travel bug and still holds such a special place in our story.

Question
What if I’m unable to attend your wedding?

Are kids welcome?

We hope this advanced notice allows you to make any necessary plans to join us.
