Join us on a whirlwind adventure through the love story of Lindsay & Drew Jackson, a tale that began with a simple swipe on Bumble and blossomed into a breathtaking journey of romance and unity!

Hailing from the sun-kissed shores of Myrtle Beach, SC, and the vibrant city of Rock Hill, SC, Lindsay and Drew’s paths crossed in 2017, sparking a connection that transcended distance and time. United by their alma mater, The University of South Carolina, and a shared circle of friends, their bond grew stronger despite Drew’s relocation back to Rock Hill in 2018.

After three years of navigating the trials and triumphs of a long-distance relationship, their love story reached new heights with a Christmas Day proposal in 2021, setting the stage for a dreamy destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico, on February 12, 2023.

With Lindsay’s heart set on finding the perfect gown, she embarked on a quest, trying on over a hundred dresses until she discovered the one – a stunning creation by Studio Levana, blending timeless elegance with a touch of bohemian charm, perfectly complementing their enchanting outdoor ceremony.

My favorite part about our wedding day was just having all of our favorite people in one place! It was a blast!
