How did you two meet?
Carter: "My earliest memory is seeing Caroline at a Trinity football game in ninth grade. All I remember was thinking that she was cute, but we were making very different life decisions-- and I thought she was too much of a 'good girl.'"
Caroline: "Our moms tell us that we were in preschool together, but neither one of us remembers this! I first remember meeting Carter in junior high, but it wasn’t until after college that we really became friends. We were both living overseas, and I remember thinking how funny and easy he was to be around. It wasn’t until a few years later though that we went on our first date in Asia."
How and when did Carter propose?
Carter: "I proposed January 9, 2021. Caroline and I went to the lake to be with her family at their house on Lake Martin. I picked her up in Birmingham that morning and, somehow, survived the two-hour drive without ruining the surprise. Once we got to the lake, I asked Caroline if she wanted to go down to the dock with me. She obliged but quickly began second guessing whether or not she wanted to brave the cold, having no clue what was coming. I convinced her that we would only be down there for a minute and she came. After a few more minutes of distraction, I mustered up the courage to pop the question. She said yes! My family was next door hiding and came over to celebrate with the Clarks. It was a wonderful day!"
What was each yall's favorite part of the wedding day?
Carter: "I loved the way our preacher, Mr. Mac, charged us to love one another in humility and faithfulness, and reminded us of the foundation and source of this love-- Jesus. That was so impactful and special to us and the celebration that followed was a blast! The dance floor was definitely one of the highlights from that day."
Caroline: "There are so many parts of our wedding day that were so special! The ceremony felt so worshipful and was an amazing reminder that marriage is a good and precious gift from the Lord. It also meant the world to us to have so many friends and family come from all over America to celebrate!. Also, the dance floor was incredible! I loved it when my whole family, even my grandmother, was dancing with us!"
