Caroline and Terry's love story began with stolen glances across crowded rooms in 2019. Terry was captivated by Caroline's beauty, but he hesitated to approach her, convinced by her lack of overt interest. Their paths finally converged at a game night event where Caroline discovered a surprising connection: they shared a mutual friend, Christopher, who played a pivotal role in bringing them together. Christopher, also a Groomsman in their upcoming wedding, saw the potential for something special between them and orchestrated their introduction. Their initial encounters were brief, but meaningful, leading to two casual meetups before their first official date. On that memorable evening, they attended a play followed by a jazz event, where the chemistry between them ignited into a palpable spark. Recognizing the depth of their connection, Caroline and Terry made the decision to embark on a journey of exclusivity on October 5th, 2019. Their love story unfolded organically, each moment feeling like a piece of destiny falling into place. Every shared experience, from the simplest conversations to the grandest adventures, deepened their bond and reaffirmed their love for one another. As they prepare to exchange vows and embark on the next chapter of their lives together, Caroline and Terry cherish the beauty of their love story, knowing that it is truly special and meant to be.

Terry and Caroline's engagement was a beautifully orchestrated surprise, masterminded by Caroline's mother, Natalie Privette-Jones. On the memorable 4th of July, Terry and Caroline had a romantic evening in Downtown Raleigh. After a delightful dinner, they enjoyed the fireworks display before returning home. To Caroline's utter astonishment, she walked into a scene straight out of a fairytale: a red carpet adorned with rose petals, flickering candles, two Champagne glasses engraved with their engagement date, and whimsical "Will You Marry Me?" balloons. Overwhelmed with joy and emotion, Caroline's answer was an immediate and resounding "yes."
