Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Natalie Volpicelli and Ryan Cooksey
Welcome to Charlottesville! We are so excited to welcome you to this beautiful city which holds so many distinctions, including, in order of importance: 1. The city where the Dave Matthews band was founded 2. The birthplace of Rob Lowe, known for classics such as 9-1-1: Lone Star, and playing the character "Young Number Two" in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me 3. The place where we both met Whether you're visiting for the first time or trying to relive the glory days at the Coupes corner table, Charlottesville offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. During your stay, we hope you'll explore and enjoy all the incredible experiences this charming city has to offer, while still finding time to attend the wedding itself.
