Made Along The Line

Carolina and Nicholas met by swiping right! Yep, you guessed it, Hinge! They actually matched three times, but only got together for a date on the third match since Nicholas kept deleting the app. Third time's the charm! After dating for a year and a half, Nicholas proposed to Carolina at the Riverfront Park in Charleston, SC.

Carolina and Nicholas were married at the beautiful and historic Atalaya Castle in Murrell's Inlet. Their wedding day was romantic and traditional with natural colors and elements but their dance floor was hype!! Congratulations to The Duckworths!
