Andy and Caroline’s Winnsboro Wedding

Caroline and Andy were married last Saturday in Winnsboro and we were delighted to celebrate their day with them.

Now, it’s important to get this out of the way: Andy and Caroline are Clemson alumni and big Clemson fans. How big? Just wait…you’ll see. As graduates of USC, though, Wendy and I only feel it’s right to warn our fellow gamecocks that if you’re not comfortable with overt displays of tiger pride, you may want to turn back now. If you do, though, you’ll miss out on a beautiful wedding (and a couple of adorable pups, too).

(Don’t say I didn’t warn you)

These may be the best socks I’ve seen at a wedding:

Here’s Caroline and her dad sharing a moment before everybody leaves for the church.

I did promise cute pups, didn’t I?

He looks happy, but inside he’s really bummed about the church’s no-dogs-as-groomsmen policy.

Caroline made Andy a book in which she listed the many reasons she’s marrying him.

Check the groomsmen’s socks and the bridesmaids’ shoes. How great is that?

From the ceremony, we headed back to Columbia for the reception at CityArt.

There was a caricaturist who made amazing likenesses of the guests (and the bride and groom). But, who’s that standing behind Andy and Caroline? That’s a lot of orange for a wedding…

Yes, the Clemson tiger showed up at the wedding. (School loyalty aside, he seemed like a very cool guy and an excellent dancer.)

(Yes, I said an excellent dancer.)

Big thanks to Summerdaze Dance and Show Band for keeping the party going!

But the night eventually had to draw to a close, and we bid Caroline and Andy adieu as they set off on their new life together.

Congratulations, guys!
