The story:
   We met during the 99-00 school year at UNC-CH, as we both lived on the same floor of Ehringhaus dorm.  We immediately became good friends and went swimming together every other day while it was warm enough.  Although we had other interests at the beginning of the year, by December we knew we wanted to be together.  And so we have been!  December 8th, 2000, we were to meet a group of friends at a restaurant and were running early.  We stopped at the bench underneath the Davie Poplar (the founding tree of the univeristy) and talked.  Just as we were about to leave for the restaurant, Brad got down on one knee and proposed.  I (Veronica) was so excited that I forgot to say "yes"!  After a reminder, I said "of course," and we went to the restaurant to tell all our friends!
    After a year and a half of planning (which I am so glad we had!), we finally got married on May 26, 2002.  The ceremony was outside at the Horace Williams House here in Chapel Hill.  We had pictures taken before the ceremony (another very smart idea!), and we arrived at the house at 5:00 for a 5:30 wedding.  We had a big detailed schedule, and it worked pretty well.  The only hitch was that when we arrived at the hairdresser's salon, we were supposed to have one person cut and style my sister's hair, and another style Valerie and my hair.  However, the lady who was supposed to do Vanessa's hair decided she just didn't feel like doing hair that morning...  So, to make a long story short, one person did all three hair styles plus a cut, and we started off about 45 minutes late after that.  However, the rest of the day went exactally as planned.

    I  compiled a list of things to do in and around Chapel Hill, and it's still a good resource.  I hope you enjoy!  Below is a short picture summary of our wedding.  If you have more digital pics of the wedding, send them my way and I will post them!
 

	This is a picture of us hanging out at the rehersal dinner.  Aren't we a cute couple?
	Here we are, a proud mom and her two lovely daughters.  At this point, we had just managed to get dressed in about 15 minutes!
	We had pictures taken before the ceremony, and so here is one of us in front of the Old Well (a historic landmark on the UNC campus).
	My dad was the perfect person to walk me down the aisle.  Normally a joker, he managed to calm my butterflies and not trip me on the way down!  I'm such a daddy's girl!
	This is a picture of us on our honeymoon!  We went to Disney World!  Here we are in the Kodak PhotoLab.
	And here is a picture of Epcot at dusk.  It is so beautiful!
