Their day began with an intimate church ceremony in Beaufort, surrounded by 80 of their closest family and friends. The heartfelt exchange of vows set a loving tone that carried throughout the celebration. As the ceremony concluded, the couple and their guests moved to Agapae Oaks, where the real festivities began. The sprawling venue, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, was the perfect setting for the couple’s grand celebration, with over 200 guests joining them in the joy of the day.
