Stephanie & Austin in White Sulphur Springs, WV

Stephanie and Austin actually met on a blind date! His realtor worked in her office and set the two up. The two decided to have a drink before dinner, started talking, and before they knew it, three hours had passed and they had completely missed their dinner reservation. The Bride Stephanie Anne Thomas, 30, works in real estate The Groom Austin Stephens, 35, works in private wealth management The Date May 30 Austin proposed just over a year later during homecoming weekend at the Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (where he went to college). When it came to finding a spot for their wedding, the two agreed that they wanted a destination wedding. (Having both grown up in Atlanta, a hometown wedding would have been too big for the intimate vibe they were after.) When Stephanie recalled The Greenbrier in West Virginia, a place she had stayed on family vacations, she knew it was just right. “I loved the old-world formality combined with a casual southern charm,” she says.
