Erin Marrone & Matthew Cain Branstrom

Sat, 05/25/2013

The pair met through the bride’s roommate at the University of South Carolina and was together for five years when Matthew proposed. Erin had just returned home from a business trip. After picking her up at the airport, he took her out on their back patio and told her to close her eyes. When she turned around he was down on one knee with flowers and champagne waiting. The ceremony was held at the Episcopal Church of Holy Comforter in Charlotte, followed by a reception in an old knitting mill with exposed brick and a vine-draped breezeway. Matthew and Erin live in Charlotte.
