The wedding was held at Belin United Methodist Church in Murrells Inlet and the reception followed at Wachesaw Plantation, where nods to the Lowcountry could be found everywhere, from the table names to the rice-filled votives to the homemade fig jam favors.
The history of the Lowcountry came alive when Johanna Nicole Whitmer married Benjamin Martin Ward at Wachesaw Plantation in October.
