Billy and Courtenay grew up in the same town but didn’t meet until they matched on a dating app in January 2023—proving that sometimes, you really do have to swipe right to find love in your own backyard! As they started dating, they quickly realized they had a lot in common. Both former college athletes, they loved staying active, spending time with family and friends, and keeping up with their high-energy dogs. Early dates included soccer games, rounds of golf, and some competitive pickleball matches (which, naturally, only brought them closer). Here’s a fun coincidence—Billy’s parents are Kristine and Jeff, and Courtenay’s parents are Jeff and Christie. And where did both sets of parents tie the knot? The Laurel Brigade Inn in Leesburg, VA! Turns out, great wedding venues run in the family. Since both Billy and Courtenay love the beach, choosing Hilton Head Island as their wedding venue was the perfect destination to start their next chapter together. It was the ideal mix of beautiful scenery and meaningful memories, making it the perfect place to say "I do."
