Erika Ashley Trent & Robert Andrew Ramsbottom

Sun, 10/18/2015

The pair first met in high school, where they both nurtured fierce and undeclared crushes on each other as they shared competitive debates. They reconnected years later at a mutual friend’s house. After two years together, Robert proposed, catching Erika completely off guard as she was studying for her last final of grad school. He came in with a little gift in his hand, and when Erika looked up to thank him he was down on one knee. The ceremony was outdoors at Heritage Plantation, with draping live oaks and picturesque scenery. Lots of DIY details like letter pressed save the dates with vintage stamps made the event extremely touching and personal. Erika and Robert now live in Greenville, South Carolina.
