Crate and Barrel's Ultimate Wedding Contest

Our love story.

We fell in love at 16. Donnie inspired me to start a special needs dance class and fervently pursue my passions. The past 7 years, Donnie’s been my rock, driving to my house at 3 am while a family member was passing away to hold me while I sobbed, he encouraged me to chase my dreams, even though it meant living miles apart after college and made my dreams come true by asking me to marry him. Together we want to help those in need, one person at a time and continue into our future working towards that goal together.

Three important details about our Ultimate Wedding.

“Rustic Elegance”. Donnie wears hiking boots, Meagan wears cocktail dresses but somehow we balance out. Our dream wedding is at Lowndes Grove in Charleston, South Carolina and our biggest priorities are making our guests feel appreciated for their love and support, providing a space for people to dance all night long under the stars and making the entire day a celebration of who we are as individuals coming together for a lifetime of love and cheek-hurting smiles.

Our everyday dream day.

It’s not uncommon for Donnie and I to spend a day racing down ski slopes in our bathing suits, taking a trapeze class, trying new recipes, going to a Broadway show, jumping out of a plane (with a parachute), having kneeboard wars behind a boat, taking salsa, hiking new trails and documenting the experiences we get to share together with photos and videos. To end a perfect day of new adventures, we love to lie around and strategize what new adventure we will go on next. New challenges, smiles and laughter = perfect in our book.
