Rachel Rose Carson, daughter of Brian and Donna Carson, was born amidst the farmland of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Over 8,000 miles and oceans away, Nicolas Hamish Thorpe, son of Hamish and Nicole Thorpe was born and raised in Durban, South Africa. She grew up with cows and he with zebras — and their paths seemed unlikely to cross. Both Rachel and Nicolas spent over two decades traveling, living, and working around the globe. In the fall of 2015, the Fates finally situated them in the same city: New York City. After five years of laughter, adventures, and love, Nicolas proposed to Rachel during the lockdown of 2020. It is with excitement and joy that Rachel and Nicolas invite you to participate in their wedding celebration in the pastoral setting of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
