The Summer 2010 issue features a selection of inspiring real weddings from across the South, ranging from a sweet garden affair to a spectacular, ultra-luxe celebration. One groom met his beautiful bride in a doctor's office, while another couple literally met for the first time when they were in kindergarten. Kindergarten, you ask? Yes, but don't be silly! Their love story didn't start that early! Their romance blosssomed many years later while they were in high school. Our Louisana bride met her husband in New York city when her neighbors across the hall invited her to a party and our Georgia bride and groom met each other while working at a restaurant in Michigan. One of our Charleston, SC couples missed one opportunity to connect, then finally met years later in Richmond, VA, while another pair met at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA, then married in Williamsburg, VA. Don't miss Sarah and Nathan's spectacular engagement story involving a castle in Germany or Jon's proposal to Anne by a lighthouse on the beach.
