April Kelly & Chris Copeland August 25, 2018
Chris and I met through mutual friends. My roommate was dating his friend and one night she wanted me to go out with her so she wouldn’t be the only girl. That night I met Chris, and honestly didn’t have any interest at all.
The next day she convinced me to go floating with them and I spent all day ignoring him for the most part because at the time, I had no desire or interest to have a boyfriend. However, Chris is very persistent (as he still is to this day). By the end of the day, I opened up and started talking to him and we talked all into the night and the rest is pretty much history.
After four months we knew we loved each other. We dated for a year and three months. Chris knew Wilson Park was always one of my favorite places in Fayetteville. It’s where we always went to walk our dog Tank. One Sunday afternoon we took our normal walk there which ended with a proposal from him and Tank, and of course I said YES! Throughout the planning process we looked at several venues but none of them felt right. After thinking about it, I said “why don’t we just get married in Wilson Park under our tree where you proposed on the same weekend you proposed?”
Our wedding day was perfect. With 90 of our closest friends and family we said “I do” under our tree in Wilson. Our favorite part was the fact that Chris’s brotherin-law, Jeremy and his family who are missionaries in Peru, were able to come all this way and he was the one to marry us. It was very special for us and the entire family. We drove away in my dad’s 1964 Mustang that he restored, with nothing but love and gratefulness to all our family and friends that came to watch two people become one.
