When you keep ending up in the same spot and locking eyes with someone, it starts to become obvious that it’s meant to be. A coffee shop is where it all began for Christina and Evan back in college...
In the summer of 2013 when Illinois native David and Melissa, who hails from Rhode Island, worked at neighboring Holy City restaurants, David kept a close eye on his workplace’s window. “I always thought it was just a coincidence,” laughs Melissa, “but he would come outside whenever he saw me.” David’s smooth moves paid off, and more than two years after the pair began dating, they exchanged vows at Coleman Hall and Chapel alongside their families, closest friends, and nine-month-old son, Oliver. Afterward, the West Ashley residents celebrated with a reception at The Bower at Edmund’s Oast.
