Wood You Marry Me? B Y A NN F I T T S | P H OTO GR A PHY BY CHR IS C HER RY
Wedding Date December 31, 2017 Neighborhood Omah Street Occupations Cecily is a first-grade teacher at Holt Elementary School and is in her 10th year of teaching. Durham native and Riverside grad Brian is an A / V electrician. Crossed Paths Cecily and Brian met in Greensboro while Cecily was starting her teaching career and Brian was wrapping up his degree at UNC-G. They’ve been together seven years. The Proposal After a few false alarms – once at a Durham Mardi Gras parade – Brian’s proposal to Cecily was a welcome surprise. Cecily returned home following a long day at work to find
Brian in the backyard. He wanted to share with her the woodwork he’d made that day. He then pulled out a small wooden box and got down on one knee. Inside the box was a beautiful, unique ring made by Cecily’s favorite jeweler in Israel. She, of course, said yes. Now, “I Do” The wedding and reception will take place at the Durham Armory, with the help of Premier Party Planners’ Tara Stoffer and Nicole Conder, and will feature arrangements by Apryl Watkins of Custom Floral Creations. Natasha Abe will be on hand to help the bride look aisle-ready and Chapel Hill Restaurant Group will take care of the catering. Rev. Jeanette Stokes will officiate. Local Links Brian’s dad, Bob Jobe, will serve as best man, and seven of his Riverside classmates – Ben McDonald, Ryan Bumpass, Chris Cherry, Carson Fishel, Elliott Bisplinghoff, T.L. Hutchins and Corey Penny – will serve as some of the groomsmen.
