I am so excited to share today’s date night highlight! Unlike the other two previous postings, we have our first DATING couple (which I love!) These two love bugs have fallen head-over-heels for one another and sent me about a billion (adorable) pics from their fun “date trip” to Charleston, South Carolina (they live in Virginia). They took pics in journal form, documenting all the highlights of them and their adventures this past Easter weekend. You MUST watch through the slideshow of images below (seriously, how CUTE are THEY). Umm and Charleston? Obsessed. Actually, I was there a few weeks ago (check it out here) and I fell in love with that awesome city all over again. I even texted Eric saying “i die. can we move here, pweeze?” It’s a good thing we love Charlotte and living so close to my sisters bc I would move there is a second. At least I live close enough to visit and photograph there ALL the time! Thank you Wynter and Josiah (coolest names EVER), for sending this to me! Sometimes it’s nice to get away and explore a new city hand-in-hand with a loved one! Oh how I love adventures! Enjoy the story and pictures from Wynter & Josiah’s adventures in Charleston where they canoed, explored, and ate at lots of fabulous places!
“Josiah and I have been dating for only six months, but it feels like a lifetime! We met each other this past year on the first day of freshman orientation at Regent University. He sat across from me at the lunch table and his uncanny wit surprised and intrigued me! We have hung out non-stop since we met, and he quickly has become my best friend and the love of my life. We are both pursuing English (creative writing) degrees at Regent, and we enjoy encouraging each other in our different preferred areas of writing (I write music and Josiah writes fictional short stories and novels). We laugh more than we breathe, but we have a super deep relationship where we can share our spiritual journeys and encourage each other with current hardships. He’s just the best!
Josiah surprised me with a trip to Charleston, SC, where one of his friends recently moved, and he planned a day FULL of wonderful, interesting dates! Because we both work and go to school, it’s really hard to plan time for dates (let alone pay for them!) so this was like one mega-date to make up for all of our penny pinching. While in Charleston, we ate breakfast at Caviar and Bananas, which is an AMAZING gourmet restaurant that isn’t too harsh on your bank account. I was blown away with the fancy meal and the beautiful atmosphere. All the food is made to order, and the coffee was great! Next, we went to the Aquarium of South Carolina, and we had a blast looking at all the fish and sharks, and being scared by a ginormous albino alligator! We then went over the bridge to have lunch at the Charleston Crab House and sat outside overlooking the water – it was amazing! The crab legs were so so yummy and our waitress was very down to earth, and willing to recommend some shops for the next part of our journey. After lunch we shopped around and caught some amazing local music on East Bay St. For dinner we chose the five star french restaurant, Rue de Jean, and it was just as fantastic as breakfast and lunch (although it was preeeeetty pricey!) Altogether, it was a date for the history books! Also, we spent the day after our Charleston date with my family in Gaston. They own a summer camp that is my all time fave, so we spent Easter with them and had some fun time canoeing before we hit the road!”
Thanks for sending this in!! Have a great date you’d like to share? E-mail me!! (alicia@aliciawhitephoto.com)
