Their story began in 2012, when the pair met through mutual friends, but due to stubbornness on Jamie’s part (her words, not ours!) they didn’t make it official until July 2013. The two love traveling and made a bond over each other’s spontaneity, which they combine by making impromptu trips! One of their most special memories as newlyweds was a recent adventure they took; a 4-hour drive to Charleston for dinner, a walk on the beach and then back home they went!
Engaged on New Year’s Eve 2015, the couple married one year later (just like Emily & Patrick, so. sweet.) in Hickory, NC. One of Jamie’s favorite parts from their big day was the first look they shared. She explained this moment as truly “AH-MAZING”, it was a moment they will cherish forever because they were able to share a short moment together as one… and that’s what the day is all about right?
Jamie’s advice for brides is to make sure you have a day-of wedding coordinator. She could enjoy and soak up every minute of their special day by not having to worry about all the little details, knowing that she had someone there to ensure it ran smoothly. And for you fellas… she says don’t be late!! {We’re looking at you Josh :)}
![Real Wedding Wednesday: Friendzone to Forever ❤ Eight years ago Amiee met her best friend and future husband while working together at a bar in downtown Charlotte. After being friend-zoned, yes friend-zoned for two years, her now husband took the most courageous step a man could take. He stepped out of the friend zone and leaned in for a kiss. To both of their surprise, a little spark flew that night. After contemplating whether or not a date would ruin their friendship, and unable to ignore that little spark, the pair headed out for their first date and as Amiee says “the rest is history. He did the impossible, he came out of the friend-zone. [She] got to not only marry the love of [her] life, but also [her] best friend.” After a magical proposal in Charlotte, NC, the couple decided on a destination wedding in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. They tied the knot on February 24th, 2018 in Ocho Rios with breathtaking views, and beautiful weather. Amiee walked down the aisle in a Justin Alexander, silk dupion and tiered tulle, strapless, sweetheart dress or as Amiee calls it her “perfect princess dress”. They shared their first dance to “I knew I loved you” by Savage Garden, and enjoyed the rest of their night and honeymoon in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
Her biggest piece of advice to brides to be is to “be selfish! Make your wedding about you and your groom, not the guests. They are there to enjoy your day.” To the grooms to be, she says, “don’t be afraid to have an opinion, it is actually your day too.” Congratulations you two! We are so happy for you!!!](http://scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/2f1e3e7a461a3c4abfee70606fee4cbc/5B733F9B/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/c0.160.1280.1280/30592892_137114573803292_3385120126935236608_n.jpg "Real Wedding Wednesday: Friendzone to Forever ❤ Eight years ago Amiee met her best friend and future husband while working together at a bar in downtown Charlotte.
