This past weekend, Charleston, SC played host to one of the most joyful celebrations I've had the pleasure of witnessing - Steph and Eddie's February 2025 wedding weekend at the Historic Rice Mill. From the moment the festivities began, it was clear this wasn't just any Charleston wedding; it was a perfect reflection of the vibrant New Jersey couple at its center.



Charleston Welcome Party at Bodega:
Where It All Began (Almost)
The celebration kicked off at Bodega, a fitting choice given its connection to Uptown Social, the bar where Steph and Eddie's story began. There was something magical about seeing the room filled with their friends and family, all gathered in a space that echoed the beginnings of their relationship. The energy was palpable as loved ones from different chapters of their lives mingled, connected by their shared love for the couple.


A Memorable Wedding Day at
Charleston's Historic Rice Mill
On February 22nd, the historic Rice Mill in Charleston provided a stunning backdrop for their special day. While the venue offered classic Charleston charm, it was Steph who truly stole the show. I've never seen a bride radiate such pure, unfiltered joy. Throughout the day, Steph was in perpetual motion - dancing between moments, celebrating every second, and bringing everyone into her orbit of happiness.
Though they celebrated in Charleston, the couple's New Jersey roots were on full display. In a moment that brought the house down, the entire reception broke into the Eagles chant not once, but twice during the evening – a rowdy reminder of where this love story began.
In perhaps the most memorable moment of the night, Steph took her celebration to new heights - literally - by dancing on the bar top, followed by an epic crowd surf that will surely go down in wedding history. It was a beautiful reminder that weddings aren't just about tradition; they're about celebrating love in whatever way feels most authentic.



More Than Just a Ceremony
beautiful venue or the lively celebrations, but the genuine emotion that filled every moment. Amidst the dancing and laughter were tearful exchanges and moments of profound connection. It was a perfect balance - a celebration that honored both the joy and the depth of Steph and Eddie's commitment to each other.
As the weekend came to a close, one thing was abundantly clear: these two people aren't just well-matched; they're truly meant for each other. Their wedding wasn't just a party; it was a perfect expression of who they are together - fun-loving, authentic, and surrounded by people who adore them.
