Sierra & Logan presented by South Wind Ranch

When two professional athletes tie the knot at South Wind Ranch, it results in an unparalleled experience, set apart from any other SWR wedding. From the traditional bridal suite pampering to the personal, heartfelt ceremony, Sierra and Logan’s day unfolded with a unique blend of a first dance on the lawn surrounded by bubbles, sincere toasts on the patio from family and friends, outdoor games, personalized desserts, a cotton candy cart, music resounding across 33 acres, and a never before seen floating golf green on the lake to make our pro golfer bride feel right at home. SWR provided the Warmoths with a sense of freedom, creating the ideal backdrop for them to focus on their vision of bringing family and friends together to gather, relax, and share in their joy. Their best day ever was indeed a Hole In One for Sierra and a Home Run for Logan!

It was the first weekend mask mandates lifted in SC from the Covid-19 shutdown, and outdoor events could take place. Will and I met in person for the first time at Greenville/ Pickens racetrack just before I watched him climb into his late model stock car with the number 41 on it, where he grabbed my attention and got my heart racing for what would be the rest of my life. A week beforehand, Facebook had suggested I “friend” him. What was unusual, was that we had no mutual friends. Something deep inside me told me to just do it because there was a reason, and though it felt silly, I did.

Fast forward 2 1/2 years, and yet again, the stars aligned for us- this time under a vacation sunset on Hurghada beach off the Red Sea in mid- November. Will carried my ring through Egypt with him on our travels, waiting until he felt the moment was right to get down on one knee. Our engagement couldn’t have been more romantic.

We began to plan our marriage for 1 year later, and chose fall as our season for the rich color aesthetics, as we appreciate the glory of nature, and the way it brings people together.

We chose our very suiting wedding date to be 11/11 of 2023. Our wishes for our wedding have come true, just as our stories, and we will cherish these moments forever!

FAMILY DENTAL HEALTH

At Family Dental Health, our commitment to people extends to every aspect of our work, including company events. We believe in treating our team members like family, and that’s why each year, we organize a special event for them to unwind, connect, and savor delicious food. When it comes to catering, there’s no one better than Laurenda’s Catering – a business run with a family touch!

From the mouthwatering roasted pig and delightful fixings to the enchanting chocolate fountain, FDH experienced a culinary journey featuring some of the finest Southern cuisine in the region. What set the event apart, though, was the unparalleled family vibe created by Laurenda’s team – both before, during, and after the celebration. Their personalized touch made the entire experience truly exceptional.

Without a doubt, Laurenda’s Catering is and will remain FDH’s premier and preferred caterer. Their dedication to creating a family atmosphere aligns perfectly with our values, ensuring that every event is not just a meal but a memorable experience for our extended FDH family.

Mandy Powell Weddings Professional Planner Specializing in Weddings, Social and Corporate

I love what I do so much, and my couples and families know that very soon in the planning process. I am beyond flattered and honored when a family trusts me to assist with the planning of one of the most important days in their lives. I take it so seriously, but still love to laugh and have fun through the entire process. I look at it like I have one chance to knock it out of the park. There is no do-over. I put my heart and soul into every wedding or event I plan. I have now planned well over 1200 weddings in my career, and still love it! I look forward to working with you!

PRESENTED BY LAURENDA’S CATERING

CHANDLER & MITCHELL

We first met in March 2020 on Friday the 13th, just days before the world shut down,

and had no idea what was about to happen. After a few dates that summer, a door being shut in someone’s (Mitchell’s) face and months spent apart, we picked up right where we left off. We spent the spring and summer doing our favorite things: grilling out with friends at Chandler’s apartment, brunching, spending days by the pool and adventuring to new cities together. After months of long distance, hundreds of phone calls and thousands of miles driven, Mitchell decided that Chandler was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Mitchell took his mom “just to look” at engagement rings, but bought one that day. In January 2022 Chandler said “Yes!” and we moved one step closer to leaving long distance behind for good.

VENDORS Bartending: Marriott Spartanburg Cake Artist: Publix Bakery Catering: Rajbhog Indian Catering -ATL Ceremony Venue: Marriott Spartanburg DJ/Entertainment: M4U Events Dress (Bride) : Reception Gown -Isa by Dolly Wahal

Khusbu and Mohit met each other in the fall through one of their best friends at Garba in Khusbu’s hometown.

As they began to spend more time with each other over the next two years, they created a wholesome friendship that grew stronger. Mohit asked Khusbu to be his girlfriend and since that day they began a journey they knew would last a lifetime.

Through many ups and downs in life, their bond grew stronger, and their love matured into a beautiful testament of devotion and compassion. They started off as two kids in love and helped each other grow into the adults they are today. They were hand in hand as they both finished their education and began their dream careers.

After 5 years of dating, Mohit proposed to Khusbu in Makua Beach, Hawaii. He planned the most stunning proposal with the help of friends & family. After 7 years of dating, they finally became Mr. & Mrs. Gupta during multiple days of celebration at the Spartanburg Marriott hotel.
