22 Oct Christina & Michael {Cypress Restaurant}
Hello and a very happy Monday to you! We are jumping straight into a stunning week with this completely swoon worthy affair photographed by Marni Rothschild. Everything about this intimate surprise wedding designed by Red Letter Events had us captivated. We LOVE a good story and this one had us by our heart strings. Both the bride and groom had been previously married and wanted to keep this engagement hush hush. Michael, the groom, invited his brother and sister in law and the bride’s best friend and husband down to Charleston to witness what they thought was going to be a very elaborate proposal. They thought Michael was going to pop the question in a historic church and then they would celebrate at dinner afterwards. When the groom’s brother escorted Christina down the aisle in her gorgeous Claire Pettibone gown, the reactions were priceless! After celebrating with a seated dinner at Cypress Restaurant the couple honeymooned in Paris AND Venice!
