an heirloom bracelet, just two of the many thoughtful touches included during the ceremony. The significance of family is also present in Rachel’s engagement ring, which incorporates stones that belonged to both her and James’ grandmothers; the custom piece was crafted by Rings True Jeweler in Carrboro. Personality marked the reception, too; instead of traditional table numbers, the couple named tables after places they had hiked together, accompanied by photos of their adventures, and their first dance as husband and wife was to the song “Epic III” from the musical “Hadestown,” creating a memorable and heartfelt moment that reflected the couple’s love for the theater.

They reside in northern Chatham County. cm
