“Within my first few weeks of living in Charlotte back in 2015, I found a lifelong friend and husband,” Amelia says. Erik and Amelia met after her roommate and good friend introduced them. Wanting to share their home city with the ones they love, the couple decided to have their wedding in Uptown Charlotte. The ribbon twist of Amelia’s engagement ring’s band set the tone for many elements of the wedding, like her ceremony dress and their wedding cake. Her ceremony dress was a Pinterest discovery that she fell in love with. After calling around, Amelia discovered it was no longer in production, but she found one in Australia with tags still on, unaltered and in her size.
