The Fountain at Randolph Hall

I met my husband, Bryan, at the College in the spring of 1998. He was a senior and I was a junior. We were in the same communication class taught by Professor Shirley Moore. Soon after we started class that semester, Bryan asked me out in front of the fountain behind Randolph Hall. I said yes, of course, and please and that following October, he asked me to marry him in the very same spot. I can still see him on his knee there every time I walk by. And I can still hear his voice and the exact words he spoke. I will never forget them.

Four years after his proposal, I asked him to meet me at "our spot." It was there on that day, December 27, 2002, that I told him he was going to be a father. I can still see the tears that came down his face every time I walk by. And I can still hear my voice and the exact words I spoke. I will never forget them.

We have "Greenway" engraved on our wedding bands, which is the name of the path on campus where the fountain sits. We wanted to make sure that we never forgot where it all started. We still go to "our spot" whenever we need some perspective on our relationship or to reflect on how far we've come. We go there to laugh. We go there to cry. We've been there to reconcile and we've been there to just be together.

We went to the College for so many other reasons. We never thought that it would be because of the College that we would find each other and then go on to start a family. Our son was born in August 2003. In September 2006, we welcomed a little girl to our lives. This September was our 10th anniversary. And we celebrated each other and all that we've created together at "our spot." College of Charleston
