If you have been following the blog, I have been posting about the tour of the Southeast doing engagement and bridal portraits. The last stop on that tour was in Chapel Hill to meet with Rachel and Chris. When I first met Rachel and Chris about their wedding, they weren’t officially engaged. Chris was waiting until he could ask her father’s permission before they became engaged. I must say he did an excellent job with the ring! In Chapel Hill and the Triangle area, most brides plan their weddings over a year in advance, because there are so many weddings with all those big universities in such a close proximity. Rachel was having a really hard time finding a venue that they loved, but she has ended up planning a really nice wedding with lots of help from her friends. Rachel is one of the three brides I have this year that were referred from Lesley, whose wedding I did 3 years ago. They are all in Physical Therapy school at UNC-CH together. Lesley has been so awesome and generous. Rachel and Chris are University of Florida graduates, so I have to give a shout out to them for the National Champ Gators.
