Question

Why Williamsburg?

Answer

Williamsburg is home to William & Mary, Kirsten's undergraduate Alma Mater. Before her mother passed, Kirsten discussed getting married at the Wren Chapel (aka the Wren Building) on campus one day. Kirsten's mother loved W&M as much as Kirsten did (if not more) and this is our way to honor Kirsten's mother. Kirsten is on the Alumni Association's Board of Directors, and she and David frequent Williamsburg a few times each year.
