Sarah Anne Smith & Ronald Alphonse Plante Jr.

October 14, 2017

Ronald, from Pennsylvania, and Sarah, from West Virginia, met one weekend at a West Ashley bar over brunch. They ended up chatting for hours, scheduled a date for the following week, and have been “joined at the hip” ever since, says Sarah. Three years later, Ronald popped the question during dinner. The pair were married at Upstairs at 39 Rue de Jean, where the reception followed as well. They now live on James Island.
