Shelby and Adam Reynolds SEPTEMBER 14, 2019
In 2012, a mutual friend asked her two unsuspecting friends to help her move. She wanted to see if this new connection would stick, so she did what she knew best - offered us pizza. We talked and laughed for the rest of the night. Even though we had just met, we quickly realized that we were from the same area, grew up with a lot of the same people, and we had even hung out before. Our mutual friend was texting us almost every day to see if Adam had asked me out yet. When we finally went out, it was nothing like I had experienced before. He was a respectful southern gentleman who opened every door. He took me to see the Christmas lights at the Fayetteville square and followed it up with dinner at Mermaids. It felt like a Hallmark Christmas movie!
In the next seven years we would move, get new jobs, renovate our first home, love our fur babies, and travel as often as we could. In 2018 we went to New Orleans for a short getaway. One afternoon, Adam took me to Audubon Park. We walked down to the water and noticed a young couple taking engagement photos. The scene was perfect, with water fountains, majestic oak trees, and the sunset.
Adam suddenly stopped me, grabbed my hands, and dropped to one knee. I was so shocked and excited that I couldn’t speak! He asked, and after a moment that seemed like a lifetime, I was able to say YES! To my surprise, Adam proposed with my grandmother’s ring that I had always dreamt would be mine someday. My grandmother had the ring custom made in 1972 from family jewelry passed down since the 20’s.
It meant the world to me that my mother passed this ring onto Adam to give to me. For Adam’s ring I knew I wanted a thin gold band - something classic and strong. While visiting with family, my Mom brought out a ring box and asked Adam to try on a ring, and it was a perfect fit! We cried because it was exactly what we envisioned. Inside the ring, we found my great grandparents' names inscribed with their wedding date. The ring was from 1935.

We decided on early September for our outdoor wedding. We wanted it to be small and intimate, so we chose to have it at a family estate. We spent the next year renovating the gardens. It was a lot of work, but after many months, the vision started to come to life. We were so happy with our decision to keep it small and have it at a family home. It allowed us to enjoy our wedding even after it was all over. Many evenings are spent walking the lively gardens and dreaming up the next adventure.
