rennan Allen,
valedictorian of Class of 2010, and Davis Henning, a Charlotte native and a graduate of University of South Carolina, first met in January 2015. Together they celebrated a Tar Heel basketball victory at He’s Not Here in Chapel Hill, where Brennan graduated from college. The pair became friends during their first semester of dental school at UNC in August 2015, and the friendship blossomed into romance leading up to their graduation in 2019. Davis’ proposal on March 5, 2020, turned “an average Thursday evening into an extraordinary adventure.” After a lot of celebratory FaceTime calls, they celebrated at their favorite Italian spot and a trip to Vegas with Brennan’s family. The pair wed on June 5, 2021, at The Parlour at Manns Chapel. “The venue was the easiest decision, as so many special events have taken place there throughout the years,” Brennan says. Decor in shades of light pink and classic neutrals along with floral details on the tables and a flower arch backdrop from Meristem Floral created a magical effect at the reception. Gary Crunkleton brought a bar setup from The Crunkleton and served classic cocktails – the Crunkleton Elderflower Sour for “hers” and Vieux Carré for “his.” The night ended with everyone shouting for an encore from band Liquid Pleasure. Davis and Brennan practice dentistry together at Coronado Dental in Arizona. CM Northwood High School’s
