Christian Sabillon & Jennifer Terry
Jennifer and Christian met through a mutual friend while she was a senior and he was a junior at Southern Wesleyan University in Central, South Carolina. They got to know each other through a series of group outings, and after a while began dating. When she graduated, Jennifer moved to Charleston while Christian stayed put four hours away finishing up his studies. It was through a year of dating long distance that the couple realized they didn’t want to be separated again. After a sunny afternoon of shopping downtown “for nothing in particular,” says Jennifer, the two headed to a nearby waterfront restaurant. Christian asked if she wanted to head out on the dock for a second before eating, and, since it was so pretty outside, Jennifer agreed. Out there—in front of other diners—he dropped to one knee and asked her to marry him. Her reply? “Of course I said ‘yes!’” answers the bride-to-be.
