Hello everyone! I am so excited to pop in today to introduce myself as the newest bee - I am Miss Coral!
I was head-over-heels excited to be selected as a bee. While I love blogging with my regular readers, I know that there is nothing more fun than talking wedding with other brides-to-be. I am so excited to share this process with all of you (and I know that Mr. Coral is excited for me to have someone to talk to other than him about all of my kooky ideas!).
Why Miss Coral? I am obsessed with anything and everything nautical, so the idea of a sea creature was just perfection. Coral is one of my signature colors, and of course one of our wedding colors! It was the perfect fit.
Now, a little about me. I was born and raised in Cary, North Carolina and moved to Charleston, South Carolina in 2007 to attend the College of Charleston. I met Mr. Coral the fall after graduating when we lived in the same apartment building. I actually saw him in the stairwell a few times, thought he (and his dog) was adorable, and decided one day to knock on his door. Ahh, to be young and brazen!
Now we live together in a condo right across the street from where we first met. We spend our time doing DIY projects (Mr. Coral is an Eagle Scout with quite the tool collection and I'm a bit of a thrift store addict with mad glue gun skills), cooking up healthy meals, traveling the world, and exploring beautiful Charleston, South Carolina.
We have a beagle mix named CiCi and a fluffy grey kitten named Bear Grylls. They are best friends.
We are planning a colorful, coastal April wedding to be held in nearby Mount Pleasant on Shem Creek. We are very excited that the vast majority of our guests will be travelling here from out-of-state. That means that all of those friends and relatives who've been saying they wanted to visit me for the last 8 years are finally going to do it! It's a great excuse for us to turn our wedding into a weekend celebration of love, family, and beautiful Charleston.
And don't worry - while we are leaving a lot to the pros (I have a killer florist and DOC as well as an amazing caterer, photographer, baker, and more up my sleeves), it wouldn't be a Charleston Crafted wedding without lots (and lots) of DIY. And I can't wait to share every project!
With love from Charleston, Miss. Coral
