The spectacular three-day event will happen this November. so stay tuned for details on planning and production in the exciting months ahead!
More about the chosen couple:
Julie and Dave say the wedding is destiny come true, since the long-time wish of Julie’s late father was that his daughter would marry on Hilton Head Island (Richard Klein died of lung cancer in 2007). “I popped the question there,” says Dave, a 30-year-old physical therapist and PhD with degrees from the University of Pittsburgh. “I have many fond memories of Hilton Head,” says Julie, his 25-year-old finance and a physical therapist who is currently working on her doctorate at Pitt. The resort wedding gift is perfect timing for the young duo who are launching their careers and marriage in the midst of a challenging economy.
