The couple met during their freshman year at Coastal Carolina University and dated for about two years before getting engaged. James took Caitlin to The Melting Pot for dinner, and then proposed at the place on Coastal’s campus where they first met. The ceremony was held at the Marina Inn and featured a unity canvas. The pair each painted half a heart and then had all the guests sign it as their guest book. Caitlin and James live in Myrtle Beach.
