Candace Jones & Jonathan Hamer

Sat, 10/24/2015

Growing up in Georgetown, Candace and Jonathan have always sort of known each other. Even though they hung out with different groups of people, her cousins invited him to a family beach house. They officially met and she was hooked. She told all of her friends that she was going to marry him one day. After five years of dating, Jonathan invited Candace to his family’s river house. She had just gotten home from work and was tired, so she turned down the invitation. Later, Jonathan called her and said he had broken down and needed her to bring him jumper cables. When she showed up, he took her out on the dock and knelt down to one knee and proposed. Evidently, the real proposal was supposed to happen on a trip the next weekend but Jonathan couldn’t wait any longer. They were married in the same church as Jonathan’s parents and Candace’s grandmother made their wedding cake, as well as a quilt for guests to sign. The couple lives in Georgetown.
