GAME CHANGERS

A

AS A MEMBER OF THE JUNIOR VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY team, I spent the summer before my freshman year in high school mastering stick work and doing drills. I can still remember the agony of my sore forearms. The worst was the part where we’d extend out our arms, holding the sticks straight up and then rotate to each side for what seemed like hours. Turns out that particular drill resulted in some Incredible Hulk-esque muscles. Though I only played for a season – the yearbook lured me away for my remaining high school years – I can appreciate all the work that goes into being a member of a successful team.

What you’re not seeing in the field hockey story on page 34 are the laps around the field, the sprints to the center line and back, and the all-out, full-field scrimmages. There were pasta parties and long bus rides, pep talks at halftime and tie games that went into tense overtime moments.

There were triumphs and tears. These students from Chapel Hill High School, East Chapel Hill High School and Carrboro High School have been practicing for years – some since middle school – and have devoted the majority of their extracurricular time and energy to their teams. And it all paid off this season. (All three schools made it to the final four.)

We gathered the captains from the three teams for a photo shoot – we even commiserated about extreme shin guard tans – and these serious athletes let loose on the field with our photographer Briana Brough. They were, ahem, game for anything, including all jumping in the air on three, sticks held aloft. It’s our job to celebrate the achievements of Chapel Hillians of all ages, and I’m glad we were able to shine a spotlight on some of our outstanding high schoolers. Yet, for all their success this fall, the captains were quick to “thank the passer” and give credit to their coaches, parents and unsung heroes on the team. CHM

NOTHING BUT THE HOLE STORY “Big Fish” author Daniel Wallace delivers another heartwarming children’s book

T

his isn’t the first time that awardwinning novelist Daniel Wallace has tried his hand at writing and illustrating children’s books.

Best known for his 1998 novel “Big Fish,” the

basis for the Tim Burton film by the same name, his past forays into children’s literature included “Elynora” (2008) and “The Cat’s Pajamas” (2014).

However, his latest offering, “The Hole Story,” could be his most simple – and poetic – to date.

Utilizing child-like illustrations and a whimsical, hand-written font, the 21-page story follows the journey of a Hole and its search for its place in the world.

Channeling the likes of Shel Silverstein, perhaps one of the all-time greats in the genre, the UNC English professor delivers in this book his own sweet allegory about self-acceptance and the importance of embracing the cosmos.

Pitched to children aged 2-7, the book – published by local startup Written Word Media – is one of those gems that can be 22

comforting to little ones and enjoyed by adults as well.

In the spirit of the book’s message, the author has gifted the book to Book Harvest, a nonprofit based out of Durham’s Rockwood Shopping Center that is dedicated to putting books in the hands of young people (more than 500,000 to date) who might not otherwise be able to afford them. All proceeds from “The Hole Story” will go to fulfilling that mission.

T

hink you know North Carolina food? Buckle up.

“North Carolina’s Roadside Eateries,” D. G. Martin’s highway-by-highway guide through our state’s must-stop restaurants, will change the way you travel – and eat.

If you think the mark of a good meal is being made to feel like a family member, you and D. G. already have something in common. The book begins with him reflecting on his personal

foodie evolution, from the “wonders of the annual Mallard Creek Church barbecue” of his youth to spoiling his grandchildren at Breadmen’s today.

What each of these memories have in common, regardless of the type of food served or aesthetic of the venue, is that he left the table feeling like he had made a new friend.

“North Carolina’s Roadside Eateries” invites readers to join D. G. in the statewide search for that welcoming feeling that only locally owned restaurants can provide. Organized by road from western to eastern North Carolina, the book provides instructions not just on how to get to each restaurant, but a short history of its ownership and an introduction to its menu (including D. G.’s personal recommendations, of course).

Especially interesting is the “After Eating” section of each listing, which ensures you don’t miss any nearby museums, fresh produce stands or other treasures of note; the Hillsborough Riverwalk and Lockhart’s Trading Post are some local examples.

Thanks to D. G.’s thoughtful voice, by the end, you’ll feel like you, too, have shared a meal (or a few dozen) with an old friend.

You’ll also be hungry.

FAMILY MAN, IN FOCUS FIGURE 8 FILM’S BILL HAYES REFLECTS ON WORK, LIFE AND FATHERHOOD AFTER 60 PHOTO BY BRIANA BROUGH

I GREW UP IN MOUNT AIRY. When I was 8, my dad decided he wanted to be a farmer so my four sisters and I grew up on a 300-acre farm. We had 15,000 chickens, and we milked 50 cows every day.  My love affair with Chapel Hill started in 1967. I was 12, and I came to choir camp here.

I thought, ‘Wow, there’s a record store where you can go listen to albums.’ I walked down the little alleyway where the Porthole was and stayed in Hinton James dorm.  I got into Carolina, but ended up getting a scholarship to Duke, so I went there. I loved school, particularly because it was a way I could get out of farmwork. After

college, I moved to Atlanta but moved back to Chapel Hill in my late 20s. It was about that time I decided I wanted to make documentaries.  Eventually, I started a company myself called Advanced Medical Productions, which is now known as Figure 8 Films. This year, it will be our 25th year of making television. We’ve made over 900 television shows. [Among those include TLC’s hit TV series “Jon & Kate Plus Eight,” “19 Kids and Counting” and “Sister Wives.”]  There was no better place to start a production company than right here. This community is one of the most intellectual communities on the planet. We could also produce better programming for less money than anybody else.  When we started, the mantra was ‘family first,’ and it still is. My wife, Diane, is the best thing that ever happened to me. She was a gymnast at UNC. Later, she was an advisor to the Morehead-Cain Scholars and asked me to meet one of her scholars. We were both in the middle of divorces. I Googled her. I said, ‘Wow, she’s cute. Let’s have lunch.’ We went to Glasshalfull, and I fell in love with her the second she walked out of the building. The rest is history.

I became a first-time dad at the age of 60. It’s magical. I’ve been wanting to have a kid my whole life, and Diane made that happen.

I’m beholden to her.  She also saved my life. Three months ago, on my birthday, I died of a heart attack at home on the couch. She found me.

If she had been taking a nap with Gabe like she normally would be that time of day, I would be dead.  I’ve got a new lease on life. I’m trying not to be so crazy workwise.

I love what I do, but I love being a dad even more. We have a second boy due in February. It’s beyond my wildest dreams.  We live outside town on a 16-acre farm in Efland. We have raised beds and are growing all kinds of our own food.  It’s a bit of a paradise on top of Thunder Mountain. I can be at work in less than 20 minutes, driving on Dairyland Road. I’m driving down beautiful farmlands surrounded by cows mooing. I can hear a train whistle at night. I’m the luckiest person on the planet.”

JOE AND TERRY GRAEDON can often be found at Carrboro Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings, under the radar.

But occasionally, someone will overhear them chatting and recognize their familiar voices.

“They’ll come up to us and say, ‘I know who you are,’” Terry laughs, almost surprised at her celebrity status as one half of the duo behind The People’s Pharmacy, the award-winning national radio show produced in our backyard at WUNC’s Durham studios.

“And very often,” she adds, “they go on to say, ‘Thank you for your show.’”

It’s no wonder the show has a dedicated following, both at home and nationwide. For almost 40 years, the couple has been dispensing medical wisdom on

Terry, a medical anthropologist, also write a syndicated newspaper column and have co-authored 20 books on a range of health topics.

Surprisingly, they initially only signed a one-year contract because they figured they’d bail out. “I thought, how in the world are we ever going to write something new and fresh for a year?” recalls Joe, from the living room of his house nestled in the woods on Chapel Hill’s border.

Terry smiles, adding: “[But] we haven’t run out of anything to say.”

The couple met as grad students around a community pool in Ann Arbor. Years later, Joe followed Terry to Durham when she received an appointment at the Duke University School of Nursing.

Around the same time, he had published “The People’s Pharmacy,” a comprehensive guide to prescription drugs, which quickly became a New York Times best-seller. Acclaim from the book led to a solo weekly radio gig, but it wasn’t before long that he asked his wife to join him in the studio.

The couple – who raised two children here (both went to the Carolina Friends School) – also credit their hometown for

some of their success.

“When we first arrived here in the summer of 1975, Durham and Chapel Hill were very different. I wasn’t quite sure this is where I wanted to land,” recalls Joe. “Here we are years later, and I would have to tell you that you wouldn’t get me out of here with any enticement. We get to talk to some of the coolest people in the world who are doing some of the most interesting research. This is the ideal place for us.” CHM

They’ve racked up eight consecutive state championships, besting rivals Carrboro High School and Chapel Hill High School. This season, though, all three made it to the final four (however, the title went to Charlotte’s Myers Park High School). We asked the captains of all three teams to reflect on their seasons and to look ahead.

he rivalry between East and Chapel Hill is huge across all sports – it’s our version of UNC-Duke. But the field hockey world is particularly small. Many of the girls are friends and play for the same club team, Carolina All Stars.

East has set the bar in North Carolina field hockey for the last eight years.

Though there were many close games, going into the season the girls on my team had never beaten East before. Mentally, that’s tough to overcome.

Getting that first win – in sudden death overtime, no less – was huge.

It was early in the season, and we were rebuilding from losing eight seniors the year before. That win gave us a great deal of confidence moving forward, but the ultimate goal was to advance to the State Championship, which would mean getting past a very talented East team two more times.

By the time we got to the semifinal game, there seemed to be an unspoken feeling that we were not supposed to win – no team had beaten East in the playoffs in eight years, so could we? That nervousness showed in the first half. The fact that the girls were able to regroup in such a clutch moment and come away with a 2-0 win spoke volumes about their mentality and work ethic.

On a personal level, my little sister [Isabel Long] is a junior on East’s team. We are really, really close – she grew up watching my games. I played at East for two years and then Chapel Hill for two years, and field hockey has been a huge part of our relationship. It’s been so much fun for us to have this good-natured family rivalry, and even more so for me, since I came away with the bragging rights this season. Sorry, Mom!”

ON A DRIVING TOUR of Chapel Hill, you’ve likely passed Sandra and Stephen Rich’s home on East Franklin Street.

92-year-old home – can tell many stories in and of themselves. First planted by Emma Estes Cobb, who lived with husband Collier Cobb Jr. at the residence from the

1940s through the 1980s, the roses have remained a steadfast feature.

Actually, this scene of the stoplightinduced pause and roses galore is what first drew Stephen to the home he and Sandra have shared since 2003. “We had established a fund at the UNC library for Jewish studies,” says Stephen, who is a UNC alumni along with Sandra. “They had invited us up [from Atlanta] for a library event and football game.” Driving

“People ask, ‘How can you live on Franklin Street?’” says Sandra. Her response? “The house is really well built.” She says they occasionally hear a motorcycle or bus or truck, but it’s not enough to bother the couple, who lived in Paris for three years at the end of Stephen’s career with Coca-Cola.

Originally built in 1925 by Brodie Thompson for Professor M.R. Trabue and his wife, Emma, the Richs’ home has been formed by many families. Here are a few: • The Cobbs (1944-late 1980s) – Collier Cobb Jr. and Emma Estes Cobbs were both from established Chapel Hill families. Collier was a successful insurance and construction surety bonds businessman, and Emma is to thank for the rose garden in the front of the property.

• The McVeighs (1992-2000) – Brian and Sheila McVeigh bought the home for their young family, but before they could move in, they discovered a disastrous leak coming from a former owner’s addition. $200,000 worth of repairs later, the couple could finally take up residence in the bright, new interior.

thrown themselves into the town’s affairs. They served as Preservation Chapel Hill co-presidents for a time and have been active on boards like those of the North Carolina Botanical Garden, North Carolina Hillel, Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation, Morehead Planetarium and Science Center and many more between them. And living in the Franklin-Rosemary Historic District, specifically on a lot carved out of the original Horace Williams property, helped kindle a love for history, too.

“We call ourselves incurable collectors,” Sandra says of their home brimming with storied treasures starting with a top-floor Carolina room with coach caricatures, a Michael Jordan cutout and a fragment of the Woollen Gym floor. Down in the basement, there are hundreds of Coca-Cola collectibles and a few pieces special to Sandra as well, like the Coke aisle sign from her dad’s former grocery store, Danneman’s, in Atlanta.

But despite their many museum-caliber acquisitions – there’s also a wall of landscapes, a cabinet full of Chinese Export dishware from the 1700s and floral door stoppers leading all the way up the stairs – Sandra and Stephen strive for a welllived home, frequently inviting folks over to enjoy their company… and the short walk to Sutton’s.

“We like English antiques,” says Stephen, but when creating their living space, Sandra strove for warm, comfortable and cozy.

“Not like the old days when everyone had plastic on their furniture so you couldn’t sit on it,” she says. “[Our space] is to be enjoyed by people who come to our home.”

Take the collection of walking canes beside the front door, for instance – the bulk of which were Stephen’s mother’s with a few picked up from estate sales. There are likely dozens of stories the Richs could tell about the assortment, but the first memory sparked is of their 12-year-old grandson.

Visiting from Denver, he’ll come down the stairs, grab a cane and become a drum major.

“Again, to be used and enjoyed,” Sandra says. CHM

ONE FOODIE’S SAFE PICKS FOR HEALTHY EATING

BY RACHEL RUVO | PHOTOS BY SARAH ARNESON

THERE ARE NO ADEQUATE WORDS to describe how much I love food. As a little girl I only ate cold chicken and carrot sticks, but somewhere between pigtails and my first car, we fell in deep, deep love. I learned to bake at my grandmother’s knee and while in college learned to cook from

GLASSHALFULL This tends to be our on-the-fly place to go for a quick date night or a nicer family meal. Without fail, we start with the Brussels sprouts – trust me when I tell you that this dish is transcendent (too much for a veggie? All right, we can go with simply delicious). Their menu changes seasonally, but they keep some of the staples including the sprouts. One of my favorites is the lobster rolls – they prepare them in an adorable lettuce cup and you really don’t miss the big hunk of bread. I feel the need to also mention their cocktail list – 74

AL’S BURGER SHACK To put it simply, we think this is the best burger joint in the area. They stick to what they are good at – burgers and dogs with pasture-raised meat. Even though it is always bustling and busy, the staff at the counter takes the time to make sure everyone in the small space knows that they are handling an “allergy order” and they happily make my

Generally, places don’t have a fryer that is dedicated to gluten-free foods, but Al’s does. For me, French fries are the holy grail of comfort food and something I never knew I’d miss (but I do).

VENABLE ROTISSERIE BISTRO We often go here for brunch as a family and the staff is top-notch. They are kind to my kids (which goes a long way) and careful with my order (which goes even further). It has such a neat atmosphere that somehow strikes a balance between minimalist and still warm. My favorite dish, hands down, is the Cobb Salad with Rotisserie Chicken. The only menu items that might sway me from my precious Cobb are the herb-roasted eggs, which are so rich and decadent that I almost feel gluttonous eating it (almost), and the shrimp & grits, which are special.

Chapel Hill’s Leading Aesthetic Practice

City Kitchen’s executive chef Jessie Flores.

The Fearrington House Restaurant. In a time when we have become our own bank tellers, supermarket checkout clerks and gas station attendants, it harkens back to a time when civility and finery ruled and stellar service was a way of life. They are so careful with each dish and its preparation that I know I can safely enjoy each bite. The food is as beautiful as it is delicious and the meal is always a truly immersive experience.

OAKLEAF Moving on to date night! This is the place that my husband and I go to when we want a slow meal where we can enjoy a cocktail, catch up on nonkid conversation and really savor the food, the atmosphere and our time together. Their knowledge of and concern for dietary restrictions from the hostess to the chef and everyone in between is so reassuring it makes the whole meal easy and stress-free. Their creative use of local ingredients and commitment to fresh, in-season, sustainable food shines through each dish. If a restaurant were a warm hug, it would be Oakleaf. CHM 78

The smoke is the first sign you’re in for a good meal at CrossTies Barbecue. “It’s like gorilla marketing,” manager Brian Turner says. “You’ve got people following their nose coming in.” So many, in fact, that they had to haul in an additional smoker to keep up with the demand for spare ribs and brisket. Chef Andrew Moore (of Venable and the B-Side Lounge) makes everything from the sides to the sauces in house – fans of eastern and western North Carolina will be happy to find their favorite tableside. (I was just as elated when I tried a third kind, Alabama white sauce, a tangy, mayo-based favorite of mine that’s hard to find outside of that state.) Look for smoked trout, salmon and shrimp to join the menu soon, and, this summer, they’ll expand outside – behind the turn-of-the-century train cars – with a beer garden.

Winter Comfort from Germany In December, my husband and I traveled to territory unfamiliar to us, Austria and Bavaria. This beautiful part of the world was not unknown, however, to many of our friends and relatives who had been there at the same magical time of year.

Each one had a different idea about what we should see and do and taste, but all agreed on one thing: try the glühwein.

This spicy mulled wine had me at first sip. Offered in the traditional Christmas markets (as well as most bars and restaurants), glühwein is the perfect way to wind down after a chilly afternoon exploring the medieval cities or browsing the markets’ outdoor craft stalls. Now addicted, I’ll keep this tradition going at home throughout the winter and suspect

I’ll love it just as much on Valentine’s Day as I did in early December.

After our late afternoon fix of glühwein, we explored the eateries of Munich, Salzburg and Vienna trying bratwurst, wiener schnitzel, chestnut soup, goulash, pan-fried zander (pikeperch) or char, roast duck with braised red cabbage, potato dumplings, apple strudel and the ethereal nockerl, Bavaria’s version of isla flotante.

Of all the dishes we tasted, my favorite was one I can make easily at home – schweinebraten, or braised pork shoulder. It meets my requirements for serving a crowd: you can make it ahead of time, and, if you cook it longer than the recipe calls for, no harm done.

Check out Moreton’s recipe for glühwein on chapelhilllmagazine.com.

Schweinebraten (Braised Pork) Servings: 8-10 ¼ tsp. ground caraway seed ½ tsp. onion powder ½ tsp. ground paprika ¼ tsp. celery salt 1 tsp. salt ½ tsp. pepper 4-5 lbs. boneless pork shoulder roast 3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard 2 Tbsp. olive oil 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into large pieces 2 medium onions, quartered 2 whole cloves garlic 2½ cups dark German or Belgian beer Water Heat the oven to 350 F. Mix dry ingredients together and rub onto the pork. Then spread mustard onto the pork.

Heat oil in a Dutch oven and brown the roast on all sides. Push

roast to the side or remove from pot. Add carrots, onions and garlic and saute until brown. Add beer, then cover and transfer pot to the oven to cook for 1½ hours, stirring halfway through.

After 1½ hours, uncover pot and stir onions and veggies, scraping the bottom of the pan.

Turn roast over and continue to cook uncovered for 1 hour. If too much liquid evaporates, add water.

Transfer pork to a plate.

For the sauce, strain the remaining liquid and solids through a fine meshed strainer into a saucepan. Simmer, stirring, just until sauce is reduced slightly.

Adjust seasonings if necessary.

Slice roast into thick slices and pour sauce over them. Serve with boiled potatoes and red cabbage or sauerkraut. CHM

A GOLDEN MARRIAGE DON AND BET T Y FRANCISCO, BOTH 74, MET ON A BLIND DATE MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO AND HAVEN’T LOOKED BACK. HOW DID YOU MEET?

WHAT’S THE QUALITY YOU MOST APPRECIATE IN YOUR PARTNER?

We met on a blind date arranged by our best friends who were dating at the time. They didn’t like the people we were dating. It was the only blind date either of us ever had. The friends married other people, but they were both in our wedding and have remained friends.

AND ALSO THE ONE THAT DRIVES YOU CRAZY BUT YOU’VE

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MARRIED?

We have been married for more than 52 years.

HOW DID YOU END UP IN CHAPEL HILL?

We arrived in Chapel Hill in August 1966 for Don to enter a UNC doctoral program. We lived in Odum Village for four years. After graduation, we stayed in Chapel Hill for Betty to finish a project in her work. Don took a position with a research project that expanded his knowledge in his field.

Later, Don joined the UNC faculty, and we remained in Chapel Hill.

OVER THE YEARS, WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE YOU FACED AS A COUPLE? AND HOW DID YOU OVERCOME IT?

We are problem solvers by nature, and we believe that together we can deal with anything. A test of this was the serious illness of our daughter.

IF YOU HAD ONE PIECE OF ADVICE TO GIVE TO YOUR YOUNGER SELF ON YOUR WEDDING DAY, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Betty: I would give the same advice that my grandmother always gave:

LEARNED TO LIVE WITH? Betty: I appreciate Don’s sense of humor and the fact that he is

unflappable. I have learned to live with the fact that Don is very messy.

This is hard because I am a “neatnik.”

Don: I suppose that it is her predictability. She’s solid. By far her worst characteristics are that she is a “neatnik” and is obsessive about punctuality.

If she is only five minutes early for an appointment, event or social occasion, she is late.

WHAT’S THE SECRET SAUCE TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE?

The secret is to be able to see situations from the other person’s perspective and laugh together. Daily life has ups and downs, but the long view is that neither of us can imagine sharing life with anyone else.

HOW DID YOU CELEBRATE YOUR 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY?

We celebrated our 50th anniversary with a trip to Blackberry Farm – one of our favorite places. In addition to a wonderful dinner, the pastry chef made a replica of our wedding cake with the original top which we had saved. Upon our return, we had a dinner at the Angus Barn with many of our very special friends.

“Start out as you mean to go on.”

Don: I would say that marriage is much more than hormone surges and good times. It is a relationship that grows while always being the same and changing.

Together after all these years … Don and Betty Francisco pictured last summer holidaying in Norway, and the couple on their wedding day in 1964.

Staying strong together … Betty and Landon Lindsay today at Carolina Meadows, and the couple on their wedding day in 1949.

67 YEARS AND COUNTING BET T Y, 87, AND L ANDON LINDSAY, 92, SHARE THEIR SECRETS TO A LONG MARRIAGE. HOW DID YOU MEET?

I (Betty) was in college at the Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina in Greensboro, but my home was near Emory University in Atlanta.

I came back home for summer break, and Landon was the advisor to college students for the Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church on campus at Emory University. He had served in the Air Force during World War II and had returned to college in the summer. That was his summer job.

I was attending the church, and that’s how we met. I was 18, and he was more mature, five years older.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MARRIED?

We’ll have been married for 68 years in June.

HOW DID YOU END UP IN CHAPEL HILL?

Landon eventually got his degree from Emory University, and we ended up living in New England. He served as a pastor with the United Methodist Church’s New England Conference for 50 years. But Landon grew up in Winston-Salem and attended UNC before he left to go in service. He’d been a Tar Heel all those years we lived in New England. We had roots here and decided to come back to Chapel Hill in 2002.

OVER THE YEARS, WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE YOU FACED AS A COUPLE?

During the war, he had experienced living with [African-American] troops.

He came back and had an appreciation of black relationships and got very much involved in the Civil Rights Movement. He worked with Martin Luther King Jr. at Boston University’s School of Theology. They were in class together.

Later, he was arrested here in North Carolina. He came down with two Catholic priests in the ‘60s. As a couple, that was a challenge. After he was arrested, I used to get hate letters. We got through it because he had the respect and support of the people from the Methodist church.

We’re in assisted living now at Carolina Meadows, and we’re doing the best we can to take care of each other.

IF YOU HAD ONE PIECE OF ADVICE TO GIVE TO YOUR YOUNGER SELF ON YOUR WEDDING DAY, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

You need to tell your spouse that you love them three times a day – once in the morning, once when they get home from work and once before bed. You never go to bed angry.

WHAT’S THE QUALITY YOU MOST APPRECIATE IN YOUR PARTNER? AND ALSO THE ONE THAT DRIVES YOU CRAZY BUT YOU’VE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH?

That’s a hard one. I don’t know what to say about that. If we ever disagree, we can mostly sit down and talk through it.

WHAT’S THE SECRET SAUCE TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE?

The thing that has kept us going for all these years is a sense of humor. And you also need to have a lot of patience.

HOW DID YOU CELEBRATE YOUR 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY?

We came down from Massachusetts and rented two houses in Corolla.

Our whole family was there. We have four children, and we now have 11 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.

All in the Details

We loved the idea of a glamorous indoor-outdoor vineyard wedding filled with natural candle light, fresh flowers and a lot of sparkle. So I decided to go with something unique and custom for the wedding topper and surprise my husband Scott with this handmade reflective signature piece featuring our last name. It was a perfect topping to the cake that was decorated to match my dress and a contrast to the two surrounding vineyard-inspired cork cakes that featured fresh flowers. I also chose it because it was a bit feminine and masculine.

FIVE RECENT BRIDES SHARE THE SMALL TOUCHES THAT MADE THEIR WEDDING ONE-OF-A-KIND

Doug and I both knew that we wanted cupcakes right away – we didn’t even have to talk about it!

We both prefer the frosting-to-cake ratio of cupcakes, and it offered guests more options for flavors.

[Our selection included] spice with vanilla buttercream, chocolate with chocolate buttercream and almond with raspberry buttercream. The spice was our favorite for our late-fall wedding, so we made that our cut cake. The toppers were shaped like hydrangea petals (my favorite flower) and tiny North Carolinas. Neither of us were born here, but we both grew up here and we love our home state. Fearrington Village didn’t have a small cookie cutter shaped like North Carolina, so Doug gained access to a 3D printer and made one for them. I think they turned out great!

–Megan Sterlina (husband Doug Sterlina)

[For our guest bags,] John and I wanted to include a few things [our friends and family] would need for the hot summer weekend, like water, sunscreen and Burt’s Bees lip balm, as well as some things that we love from the places we’ve lived. Southern Season Cheese Straws and Chapel Hill Toffee are two things I am addicted to from growing up in Chapel Hill, and I quickly got John hooked on them when he would come visit my family. The California Love chocolate bar is from this amazing chocolatier, Compartes, in LA; all of their bars are gorgeous. A Notre Dame koozie as a nod to our alma mater and the most adorable handillustrated map of Chapel Hill from Etsy, with a schedule of the weekend events completed the bag!

We wanted to have a subtle UNC touch to the weekend without being over the top. We loved the idea of personalized pint glasses for our favors but also wanted to send our guests home with a little piece of Chapel Hill. My Dad came up with the idea to use the Carolina blue NC logo. It turned out to be a hit with no glasses left over. We hope all of our guests are able to reflect on the weekend in a happy way when they use them at home.

While the bridal party was off taking pictures on campus, we wanted to have a light signature cocktail for our guests to enjoy until we were back. We also wanted something that would cool guests off if it was hot. Luckily, the weather was perfect, and the drink was basically gone by the time we got back from pictures. While Grant and I didn’t get much of it, that meant the guests loved it, so we were happy! The signature cocktail had: vodka, pink lemonade, a splash of Sprite and pineapple juice. We wanted it to be pink to match our table numbers, flowers and table setting ribbon. My mom’s house is also known for always having pink lemonade in the fridge, so I wanted to incorporate it somehow!

Ritchlyn Mohammed and Chapel Hill native Patrick Garvey met at Manhattan College in Riverdale, NY,

locking eyes at the track. Over the next few months, the pair became friends and started dating, until Patrick’s decision to join the Army turned the relationship into a long-distance one. After boot camp, several years of letters, care packages, Skype calls and a tour in Afghanistan, Ritchlyn was able to join Patrick at Fort Bragg in July 2015.

Soon after, during a hiking trip to Pilot Mountain State Park, Patrick stepped away to retrieve the ring from his bag. When he returned, they spent a few peaceful moments taking in the vivid scenery around them. As Ritchlyn turned to leave, Patrick knelt on the trail to ask for her hand.

The wedding will be held June 17, 2017 in Chapel Hill, with a ceremony at the Newman Catholic Student Center Parish

and a reception at The Carolina Inn. The couple currently lives in Spring Lake, NC, with their labradoodle, Ollie. Ritchlyn is a school psychologist for Cumberland County Schools, and Patrick has continued his Army career as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal specialist. CHM

Lori and Ivan could not have asked for a more perfect fall day. It was sunny with low humidity and a full moon to end the evening.

Chapel Hill natives Carly Yusiewicz and Greg Sronce met through mutual marching band friends at Chapel Hill High School. They also went to prom together their junior year – only with different dates! When Carly was a senior at UNC and Greg had graduated from Appalachian State, the couple reconnected. After a chance encounter on Franklin Street, the two began talking and discussed Greg’s recent trip to Africa.

The couple went out on a series of dates to local spots like Carrburritos and Open Eye Cafe and became close friends. Soon after, Carly was accepted into the UNC School of Nursing, and Greg became her loyal study partner.

One September morning in 2015, Carly and Greg went on a date to the Haw River to go hiking and swimming. Greg proposed to Carly – thankfully, he did not drop the ring in the river – and she was ecstatic to say yes.

On their wedding day on September 4, 2016, the couple was doing their “first look” at the Chapel Hill Carriage House when they noticed some family friends arriving, champagne in hand. Once they had finished their photo shoot, their friends offered them each a glass and proposed a toast. This impromptu meeting created beautiful pictures, as well as memories, during their day surrounded by loved ones including their parents, Kathy and Jeff Yusiewicz and Kathy and Garry Sronce.

Carly works as a nurse at UNC Health Care, while Greg works at Big Spoon Roasters. The couple resides in Durham. CHM

Dylan Stroupe, who attended Northwood High School in Pittsboro,

and Crystal Stanford, who attended Chapel Hill High School, grew up just a few miles apart. But despite that, and having both attended UNC for undergrad, Dylan and Crystal’s paths didn’t cross until Dylan was a newbie on Crystal’s recreational kickball team. They were friends for a couple months before they started to date, and a year and a half later, they were moving into their new home together in Durham. “Dylan surprised everyone by getting down on one knee,” Crystal recalls of their house-warming party. “He was so sweet and had also planned for all our friends to meet us out at a local bar for drinks to celebrate.”

Following a rehearsal dinner at the Weathervane the night before, Crystal and Dylan were wed on September 17, 2016 at Christ United Methodist Church, with a reception following at Rock Quarry Farm.

Their officiant, Sara Beth Pannell – a Methodist minister whom Dylan befriended when they were both members of the Wesley Campus Ministry at UNC – gave a personal homily that “perfectly characterized [who] we are individually and together as a couple,” says Crystal. “It made the day.” Local wedding party members included Zach Stroupe, Charlie Stanford, Michael Bradshaw and Amy Fesel, as well as Crystal’s parents, Bobbie and Ashley Stanford, and Dylan’s parents, Judy and Dan Stroupe.

The couple continues to reside in Durham, with Dylan working for a Raleigh beer distributor and Crystal for a small clinical research company at RTP. CHM
