To those who might have spent 2020 taking in much more important news or just surviving - small little update, we are married and officially the Chamberlin's! Now, 508 days after we eloped and 378 days after our originally planned wedding date, we are officially trying this again and will be moving forward with our May 1, 2021 postponement date. Sorry, we know that is literally right around the corner. After unfortunate vendor closures, several back-and-forth conversations with our remaining/new vendors, and in deep consideration of the ongoing situation, we have made difficult cuts to our guest list and will instead be hosting a smaller, more intimate evening to celebrate our marriage. This decision was not easy or made lightly as it breaks our hearts not to be able to celebrate with all of our closest loved ones. Above all else, we hope that you can understand and respect our decision to move forward with our wedding under these tough circumstances. Rest assured we have been tracking vaccinations (guests and general) but nonetheless, there will be copious amounts of hand sanitizer, mask wearing, social distancing, and we're working on temperature checks. We ask that out of an abundance of caution and respect for all guests in attendance that you please get a COVID-19 test in the days leading up to the event and not attend if you feel any symptoms. We know that some of you may not wish to travel this Spring and we completely understand. Whether we are celebrating in person or at a distance, please know how important you are to us. We hope 2021 finds you and your loved ones safe, sane, and with some sense of normalcy. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for all the kind wishes and support through this whole endeavor. Love, The Chamberlin's

…in the cult of CrossFit…boy saw girl, boy purposefully ran behind girl in every class (for what he says are obvious reasons), boy and girl formally meet and talk all night, boy acts like a boy in front of the Plaza Midwood fire station (he knows what he did), and now…here they are. Sprinkled in between that first night in front of the fire station and April 18th, 2020 (or December 10, 2019 and May 1, 2021), will have been every possible up, down and curve ball that real life can throw at you. In the end, there is nowhere else either of us would rather be than in Asheville, NC, with those we love and those we miss, committing our love and lives to one another. On June 10th, 2016 we went on our first date at The Workman’s Friend in Plaza. Fabiana actually almost bailed because she was so nervous. It went great and less than thirty minutes into the date Josh invited Fabiana to a pool party with his friends for the following day. Super sweet but that’s also how people disappear (spoiler: she went and survived). Fast forward to us spending the next few months hanging out, getting breakfast at Common Market and eating late night pizza on the kitchen floor while listening to Otis Redding. Over the years our pups, Max and Indiana, had become best friends, we bought a new house, had a break up then a make-up (it happens), started new jobs (she has, he’s far more consistent), run marathons, built a fire pit, gone on a few camping trips, started the process to build a new house, seen a bunch of concerts and become mildly obsessed with one band, made new friends, watched old friends tie the knot and have babies, gotten matching tattoos, celebrated birthdays, and also experienced crushing loss. Together, we have traveled to Costa Rica, Paris, Prague, Wilmington, Charleston, Washington D.C., Highlands, Brevard, Bend, Portland, the Oregon Coast, San Francisco, Northern California, Greenville, Farmville, Asheville, and finally… Lake Lure.

...August 10th, 2019 and our most recent trip to Lake Lure, where Josh got on one knee, asked THE question, and left both of us overwhelmingly excited and speechless. About 30 minutes later, we got it together and went out to celebrate, make some calls, and maybe cry a bit too. We’ve spent five years growing and trying to figure out life and now we can’t wait to stand before our family and friends and continue figuring out our future as husband and wife. A few years ago I told Josh that maybe we weren’t "meant for each other" and that it was better because we put in the work to love each other every single day. He got upset and said he didn’t agree and that I was, in fact, his soul mate. Personally, I cannot think of a better thing to do on May 1st, 2021 than to re-marry my soul mate.
