Since she didn’t follow sports in high school, Kimberly never realized that Jordan, a star on the school basketball team, had a crush on her. Nonetheless, the two struck up a friendship, which was interrupted when Jordan graduated and went to play basketball at Clemson. Kimberly headed to the University of South Carolina the following year, and despite their going to different schools, they continued to stay in touch.
Luck smiled on them when Jordan accepted a job in Columbia after college, and they reconnected in the same city where they started dating. Three years later, when Jordan proposed in Charleston, it marked the first time Kimberly had ever seen him nervous.
In an intimate, family-focused ceremony, Jordan’s grandmother married the couple at Lowndes Grove in Charleston, where they spent the day enjoying the company of both their entire families. The pair lives in Greenville, where Kimberly is a Spanish teacher and Jordan works at Clemson.
