John Cassibry & Hannah Hunter

February 25, 2023
Columbia residents Hannah and John met in ninth grade at the Montreat Youth Conference, becoming fast friends. The two kept in touch while attending different colleges, then became a couple in October 2018 and moved to Charleston. While visiting Whitepoint Garden for a photo op with friends, John asked Hannah to be his wife. They were married at Runnymede under a large oak overlooking the Ashley River. The newlyweds, who live in West Ashley, continued celebrating into the night with cocktails by the water, bluegrass music, and a late-night pizza run.
