By the Sea: Fallin & Cory in Salter Path, NC

When Cory first saw Fallin at a mutual friend’s Christmas party, he says, “My breath caught — I simply had to meet her.” Two years later, the couple was engaged. They decided to tie the knot in North Carolina (the midpoint between the bride’s family in Georgia and the groom’s in Maryland), leading Fallin to enter — and win — the “Vows on the Beach Sweepstakes” held by the Crystal Coast Tourism Development Authority of North Carolina. With the help of wedding planner Zena Underwood, the couple arranged a lush beachfront affair at Bluewater Vacation Rentals’ Dream Maker home.
