Brianna and Rously first met in August of 2014 at one of their favorite places, the gym! Before going out on an official date, they were always working out together. One of their favorite places to go is the Riverfront Park and Cayce Riverwalk, where they got to bond and learn more about each other. Although they hung out many times, their first non-workout date was to the SC State Fair in October. These two had a great time and officially became a couple a few days later. And almost 9 years later they are so excited to finally become husband and wife. Their favorite memory is when they went to Egypt and Rously proposed to Brianna later that same year!

Brianna made sure to infuse personal touches that were a nod to her inner artistic self, such as making her own reception dress which was an absolute stunner, and choosing big-impact fashion elements like her crown and masks that were imported from Italy. The bride also designed their crest and embroidered all the napkins herself – a true artist. 

Another inspiration for their wedding was Bridgerton and was a huge reason they decided to host their elegant event at the Columbia Museum of Art so that they could be surrounded by fine art, culture, and romance. 

They ran with a masquerade-inspired dress code of black and gold which ensured that guests brought their absolute A-game and the black tie affair was truly unforgettable.
