Heather Easterling & Matthew Gerety

March 4, 2016

Heather, a pharmacist at MUSC, and Matthew, an Air Force pilot, met through mutual friends at Triangle Char and Bar in 2013. After a whirlwind week of getting to know each other, the two went skydiving on their fourth date. The adventure continued when Matthew got down on one knee at Disney World, tiara and ring in hand. They were married exactly three years after their first date in an intimate pop-up wedding on Philadelphia Alley downtown. The newlyweds enjoyed a reception at Magnolias with family.
