Abigail & Andrew Sudran
4.26.25
“We wanted a classic, elegant interfaith wedding that would include meaningful things to us and our families such as traditions and heirlooms and would celebrate Charlotte, the city where we met, live and love so much,” says Abby of her and Andrew’s wedding weekend.
Andrew, a CPA at PwC, and Abby, a university recruiting and events manager at Advocate Health and an adjunct professor at Queens University, welcomed guests to the Queen City with a party at Legion Brewing SouthPark that included barbecue, Cheerwine, Krispy Kreme doughnuts and a groom’s cake decorated in the colors of Andrew’s alma mater, Indiana University. Southern-themed welcome bags were filled with Lance crackers, boiled peanuts, moon pies and cheese straws.
At the ceremony at Queens University’s Belk Chapel, the couple’s corgis, Louie and Lenny, were escorted down the aisle. Abby wore her mother’s wedding veil and held an heirloom white wedding Bible, also carried by her grandmother, mother and aunt on their wedding days. Abby’s grandmother’s 72-year-old ostrich-feather pen was placed at the guest book, and the cake topper and knife at the reception were used on the wedding cakes of Abby’s grandmother, mother and aunt. For their reception, Andrew and Abby arrived in a vintage Bentley, a nod to Abby’s middle name and the venue, Bentley’s Restaurant.
