From the Couple: 

How He Asked: "Tyler knew he wanted to propose somewhere special to he and Lauren, and since they've been going to the Outer Banks with their families for years, he knew that was the perfect place. On the first night of their vacation in Avon, they went for walk walk on the beach and when they reached the Avon Pier, Tyler popped the question!" 

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "We've been coming to the Outer Banks with our families for vacation for years, and since Tyler proposed there, there was no question that we wanted to get married in Avon too!" 

Wedding Inspiration: "Our decor was all beach themed! The color palette included ocean tones, and the wedding style was beach chic. We wanted our wedding to reflect the surrounding of the venue." 

Favorite Wedding Memory: "Our first dance. It was one off the only times during the evening when we were able to have a conversation, just the two of us, without people running up to congratulate us! As strange as it was to be the only two people dancing in a room full of people, for those few minutes, it felt like it was just us."

If you think planning a wedding in three months means you'll sacrifice elegance, personalized touches and style, then Caroline and Brian's grande affair will be a game changer! Due to her father's illness, the two moved the wedding one year earlier than scheduled and designed a day that was the epitome of the "best day ever" in three months. Renee Landry Events confettied their Pavilion at Pirate's Cove reception in blush blooms, with black and white stripes contrasting against gilded details to embellish the large venue. Lori Douglas Photography captured all the raw love and magic that surrounded the entire day, and we're bursting with excitement to share more from their 2016 Outer Banks Bride Magazine feature!

From the Couple...

How He Asked: "The engagement was a complete surprise, although he had been planning it for months! Brian had always teased me that the day he would pop the question would be July 4, 2015. On Sunday, November 2, 2014 we decied to go on an early morning cruise down. It was freezing and windy that morning, but he insisted on getting out of the truck and going on a walk. Out of nowhere, he turned to me and said, "Do you know what today is?" And then, he paused briefly and said "Today is July 4, 2015." Before I knew what was happening, he had gotten down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I was in complete shock at what was happening, and didn't even say anything at first...he had to ask me again!" 

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "Caroline was born and raised in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina!"

Wedding Inspiration: "The design inspiration was Kate Spade inspired! Our theme was black and white - specifically black and white stripes with touches of gold glitter and sequins and blush-colored floral arrangements. We wanted a more classic look and feel for our wedding. On a side note on inspiration, our wedding was planned in three months! We found out in April that my father, Lou, was diagnosed with cancer so we moved the wedding up a year, August 2016 to July 2015. Lou's ultimate goal during his battle with cancer was to walk me down the aisle, and if possible, the father-daughter dance would be the icing on the cake. He did both!"  

Favorite Wedding Memories: "My father reaching his goals of walking me down the aisle and our father-daughter dance. Also, seeing the venue for the first time when Brian and I were introduced. My mom was the mastermind behind the design and planning, so everything was a complete surprise for Brian and I!"

Choosing the Outer Banks for its serenity, relaxed atmosphere, and a treasure trove of childhood memories, Darlene and Ryan planned their wedding, with the aid of Engaging Events, that resembled the setting sun on the Eastern Seaboard. I Do OBX Chairs designed darling set-up for their Jennette's Pier beach "I do's" that was perfect as the newlyweds were showered in a sea of beach balls for their ceremony exit. Bells & Whistles transformed the Pier into a modern, nautical masterpiece, with Courtney Hathaway Photography capturing every toast-worthy moment.

From the Couple...

How He Asked: "After Ryan graduated college, the couple took a trip to explore Europe. Ryan surprised Darlene by asking her to marry him in London on the top floor of The Shard, western Europe's tallest building. The Shard overlooks the Thames River and all of London, Darlene's favorite city!"

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "Darlene and Ryan chose the Outer Banks because of how much the islands meant to them growing up. One of their first dates was driving up Carova and laughing all day in the rain. The Outer Banks was also close enough for a majority of their family and friends to make it to the wedding, yet fair enough to give a 'destination wedding' feel." 

Wedding Inspiration: "Having frown up just across the border in Virginia, Darlene and Ryan treasured all of the childhood vacations with family and friends on the Outer Banks. The goal was to reflect the tranquility, relaxation and a home-away-from-home values into their wedding day. Getting married on the beach was an absolute must, casual beachwear encouraged, and the spirit of being on vacation were all imperative to the vision of their wedding." 

Favorite Wedding Memory: "Some of our favorite wedding day memories were getting ready with our wedding party, reading each other's letters, the beach ball toss after we said our vows, watching the sunset from the gorgeous banquet room of Jennette's Pier, and of course the weather!"
