Wedding Date: April 27th, 2024
Wedding Location: Grand Old Post in Darlington SC.
How They Met: Aldous and Jessica first encountered each other in Darlington, SC during a trip to a grocery store in 2019. Being the only Walmart in that immediate area, it was normal to see a familiar face at this location from time to time. However, this trip was different, when the two passed by and noticed each other for the first time in the store aisle. While neither exchanged words to each other, the brief interaction made a lasting impact, and ironically, both wondered, “Who is that?” It was a few days later during a trip to the same grocery store that the two saw each other again, and while captivated, neither mustered the courage to exchange words.
It is said “the third time’s a charm: and this proved to be true when during a visit to the SAME store, these two ran into each other again! Aldous decided to “shoot his shot” by breaking the line while Jessica was completing her purchase and said to the cashier. “Add her groceries to mine. I’ve got this.” The two exchanged pleasantries and Jessica expressed her appreciation for the kind gesture. The conversation continued to the parking lot where names and numbers were exchanged.
Engagement Session: The shoot was completed in one day. The location for the photography was Florence Darlington Tech College, outside on the new walkway and beautiful pond.
What are you looking forward to? Aldous: “First and foremost, seeing Jessica. I can’t wait to see her in her gown. I’m also excited about gathering with our wedding party, family, and friends to celebrate us doing this love thing for life.” Jessica: “There are so many elements of our day that will have special touches that I’m looking forward to seeing unfold. But being with Aldous and making this thing official is at the top of my list!”
