“YA’LL TRAVELED THE WORLD TO FIND LOVE IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD.”

- CHUCK RUSH

We were born in the same hospital in Sarasota FL, raised by two incredible families, and despite sharing the same hometown, we didn’t meet until one magical encounter many years later. Our mutual friend Hillary Hawkins had a surprise 21st birthday party (Love you Hill!) in Boston and that’s where the saga of William & Carolyn began.

We’ve built our lives, careers and community in Brooklyn, NY where we’ve been for 5 years. We got engaged on September 21 and belted September by Earth Wind and Fire (cue, playlist to the right ->!) and decided we’d get married this New Years Eve and step into 2020 united as one surrounded by the people we love.

The thing we look forward to most about our wedding, is making memories with all of you.

We feel incredibly blessed and would like to begin the first days of our marriage with full hearts and gratitude.

If you to participate with us, below are a few organizations that we are special to us that we’d invite you to donate to in lieu of a registry.

We’ll all meet // Where the citrus is sweet
The ode to our roots // Parading in swimsuits.
Dancing with the sun as it sink // Under the moon on the brink
Of a year that is new // And incomplete without you.
