Robert and Stephanie’s love story is one that feels both like a new beginning and a homecoming. Both in their 50s, both having lived full lives with all their joys and lessons, they never expected that love would find them again so powerfully. Yet when it did, it felt like it was meant all along.
What began as simple conversations soon grew into a deep companionship, one that felt as comfortable as it was exciting. Charleston, South Carolina, became their special place. The city’s cobblestone streets, historic charm, and ocean breezes seemed to mirror their story—a beautiful blend of resilience, history, and hope. On a quiet evening, with Spanish moss swaying overhead and the golden light of sunset reflecting off the water, Robert asked Stephanie the question that would mark the start of their forever: would she marry him?
Stephanie said yes, her heart full of joy, and in that moment, Charleston became more than just a city—it became the backdrop of their second chance at love.
Now, as they look toward their future together, Robert and Stephanie carry with them the strength of their pasts and the promise of a love that is wiser, deeper, and sweeter than ever before.
The couple will marry September 4, 2026, at the Laurel Ridge Country Club in Waynesville, NC.
