But looking around Nicole and Travis’s wedding day that took place this last weekend in August, I would say it would have been more than ok for Nicole to finally feel excited. Because it was absolutely stunning in every possible way, led by the bride herself. I mean it when I say she was just a vision.

Tucked away at the end of Mount Pleasant right before crossing the bridge into Charleston, the Charleston Harbor Resort feels like a little Caribbean Hideaway, although it’s right here in the Lowcountry. Nicole had told me she really wanted to gather her entire wedding party on a small beach overlooking the water at the resort. Set under string lights with Palmetto trees abound, it made for the most fun, tropical feeling setting ever. And from what I overheard from them that day, I’m pretty sure the night prior the wedding party thought it was the most fun too. 😉

Nicole and Travis, thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be a part of the beginning of your lives together. You welcomed me in as a friend. Your friends did the same. And I left your wedding night with the biggest smile on my face that continued on to the entire weekend following. I wish you nothing but the best as you continue to grow in your marriage together. And always remember, you have a friend right down the road here in Charleston.

Thank you to the team who made the magic happen:
