Edmonds & Robertson

S

Garden Plots  by Laura Zolman Kirk HUN ROBERTSON AND SCOTT EDMONDS MET FIVE YEARS AGO WHILE working at MDC, a Durham nonprofit that works with communities to identify and remove the barriers that separate people from opportunity. The two started dating a year later. Scott stayed on at MDC and is now the program manager there, while Shun works remotely for Jobs for the Future in Boston and volunteers her time locally with the Partners for Youth Opportunity supporting Durham children. On August 17, Scott and Natalie Fogg, Shun’s best friend, put an elaborate plan into motion to get Shun to the WRAL Gardens in Raleigh, where Scott intended to propose. Natalie and Shun began with a manicure-pedicure session that was supposed to lead to a double date, but as the two were headed to dinner, Natalie received a call from a co-worker asking her to pick up a package at Capitol Broadcasting Company. Of course, it was not a co-worker waiting for the pair in the gardens beside Capitol: It was Scott, who handed Shun a card ending with, “I have just one question for you …” When Shun looked up, he was down on one knee. Although Shun and Scott are still working on many details, they have landed on an April 2017 wedding, with the hopes of exchanging vows at Sarah P. Duke Gardens and celebrating afterwards at The Pit.
