with the Orangeburg Country Club
While two other grooms-to-be had to shift to Plan B for their proposals, Ron
had a careful Plan A to surprise Whitney (page 38).
I loved hearing about the personal touches at their weddings get ready
for some great ideas! Lisa and Cameron (page 18) had a winter theme,
complete with penguins Lisas favorite animal. And Ashleys pale purple
gown is a story in itself; Brett didnt mind that it wasnt white (page 40). Two
of the couples found meaningful ways to honor a deceased parent, and two
couples are expecting baby girls later this year!
We also have two traditional features Mason and Brandon Chasteen and
Olivia and Ray Padgett and both weddings were steeped in tradition.
Mason wore the same wedding gown that her mother, great-aunt and
grandmother wore. Her mom, Libby Lee Castles, gave us my favorite quote
of the magazine: I hadnt thought about all the years of happy marriage that
dress represents. Read more on page 10.
Olivia and Ray injected Southern tradition and history into every

ason and Brandon started their wedding day off quietly with a private
breakfast, shrugging off the dont-seethe-bride-before-the-wedding superstition.
I wanted to spend as much of that day as
possible with him, Mason said.
There was a bridesmaid luncheon at The
1425 Inn on Richland Street, and the groomsmen had a party at Hay Hill Garden Market,
which is owned by Masons uncle, Fred Gantt.
After the luncheon, Mason headed to Austral
Salon, where Lindsay Pfenter fixed her hair,
and to Occo Salon for makeup.
I wanted to get my hair done alone, Mason
says. I needed some me time.
She loved how Pfenter fixed her hair, and she
was both relieved and pleased with how Jessica
Lundy at Occo did her makeup.
I dont usually wear makeup at all, Mason
said. I told her that and said, Dont make me
look scary.
The only snag of the day happened when
Mason arrived at the church early to take solo
pictures. But the dress wasnt there.
We were talking on the way to the church, and
someone said, I wonder if Mason will be dressed
when we get there, Libby Lee said. And I realized, No, she wont. I forgot the dress.
The dress got to the church in plenty of time.
In fact, the timing was perfect.
By the time she got back with the dress, the
lighting was actually perfect, and the bridesmaids were there, Mason said.

livia had always wanted a winter wedding a bit of a rebellion to her traditional Southern soul.
Fall is always busy, summers are too hot,
and we dont have much of a spring, Olivia
said. Im very traditional, but I wanted to be
a little different.
Her evening wedding continued to highlight her Southern heritage. Her colors were
blush, gold, Marsala and ivory.
I wanted romantic elegance, Olivia said.
