Mimi & Alec

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

Alec and I met at North Carolina State University in 2015. Almost eight years later, he proposed on campus.

Our wedding day was everything we could have hoped for and more. The weather was perfect for taking group photos at the WRAL Azalea Gardens and private couple’s shots at NC State’s belltower. Our ceremony was held at the church we attend, Providence Baptist Church. The pastor and musicians made it a peaceful and meaningful ceremony.

Following the ceremony, our reception took place at an Embassy Suites hotel near the church. Between the amazing DJ and delicious dessert bar, everyone was having a great time. The highlight of the night happened at 9:00 PM.

Growing up, Alec played hockey, and his favorite team is the Carolina Hurricanes. When we started dating, Alec and I would go to Hurricanes games together and I became a “Caniac” as well. Some of our favorite moments together have been at PNC Arena watching the Canes play. After our engagement, we had jerseys made at the team store with our last name and numbers “20” and “23” to commemorate the year we got married. Knowing how much we loved the Hurricanes and that we had special jerseys made, Alec’s mom arranged for Stormy, the team’s mascot, to make a surprise appearance during the reception! We were shocked and thrilled that Stormy was able to come.

Thank you to all our friends, family, and vendors that helped make our wedding day something we will treasure.
