Catherine and Gregory attended neighboring high schools, had overlapping friend groups, and both graduated from Clemson University. But fate likes to take her time, so, of course, they didn’t meet until Greg moved away. A birthday party at Topgolf for a mutual friend finally brought them together and led to a long-distance relationship, which eventually culminated with a proposal at Lake Jocassee.
The wedding a Furman University’s Daniel Chapel featured the groom’s pastor as well as the Catholic priest from the bride’s childhood church. Touches of Mardi Gras added a festive air to the reception at Westin Poinsett, including masks and heads for guests and a parade-style performance by the band Cashmere. The bride wore a discontinued Anthropologie gown that was restored and altered to perfection by Cindy Ingram. Catherine, a senior events manager at Hughes Agency, will work remotely from Lawrenceville, Georgia, where the couple moved to be near Greg’s work as product owner at Norfolk Southern.
