Although Daphne and Hunter are Lynchburg locals, they spent years just missing each other. Their paths finally crossed on June 2, 2022, when Daphne stopped by Starr Hill for a beer. Struck by his kind eyes and big smile, Daphne took advantage of her choice of seat and sat down right in front of him. The spark between the pair was undeniable with hours of chatting and laughing. As they went their separate ways that evening, Daphne noticed that Hunter didn't ask for her number! Of course this must have been a mistake, how ever would they live happily ever after if he couldn't call? After a little encouragement from her girlfriends, Daphne made the first move; she found him on Facebook and gave him her number.

It wasn't long before they realized just how much they had in common. They quickly fell in love with each other and the life they were creating together, from basking in the sun at the lake, family game nights, wine and beer tastings, Mystery Movie Mondays, and playing pickleball. Their adventures have taken them across each coast from the sun-kissed beaches of St. Pete, Florida to the mountains of Portland, Oregon. Each destination etched a chapter in their love story, creating a mosaic of memories that spoke to the vastness of their shared experiences. They both knew marriage was the next relationship milestone, and on November 26, 2023 Hunter proposed and Daphne said yes!

Now they cannot imagine their lives without each other and are excited to embark on this new chapter together, surrounded by the support and love of those around them. Thank you for being part of this celebration as every single one of you has had a helping hand in the journey to this beautiful occasion. Cheers!
