Charlie and Caroline met through a mutual friend while Caroline was still studying at the University of Georgia. Charlie had just graduated from Ole Miss and moved back to his hometown of Atlanta. One day while Caroline was visiting her grandparents and cheering on the Dawgs at Dunwoody Tavern, she got an invite from friends to "meet a boy they thought she's like." Funny enough, earlier in the day, she saw a blonde boy in her friends Snapchat story and messaged asking his name. That blonde boy was Charlie! After swapping entire outfits with her mom who was wearing a much cuter look, she set out to meet Charlie at Park Tavern—where Charlie *sadly* was watching the Rebs lose. But luckily the night turned around when the two hit it off and spent the rest of the evening drinking Miller Lite and falling in love!

Charlie introduced Caroline to the outdoors and all the fun activities that come along with it—hiking, camping, fishing, hunting. Charlie grew up doing all these activities with his family and making some of the best memories, so he is always eager to share the outdoors with Caroline. One weekend, while Caroline thought they were on their way to Asheville to see friends, Charlie suggested they stop for a quick hike in the North Georgia mountains on their way up. This being Charlie MO (he always suggests a *quick* hike), Caroline agreed. Although not super keen to the idea, Caroline found that trusting in Charlie had gotten her to some of the most beautiful places in the world. After a short hike down to the Chattooga River with their golden retriever, Earl, Charlie found a quiet beach on the river's bank. It was here, that Charlie asked Caroline if she would spend the rest of her life with him. It was perfect, Caroline always said she wanted to get engaged at the beach, so this was Charlie's solution—Caroline's own, personal "beach"! After saying yes, and many tears, Earl, Charlie and Caroline went to the Highlands to celebrate. The mountains and dinner at Old Edwards Inn was the perfect combination of the couples personalities! A little high, a little low :) We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Amelia!
