Meet Lee and Ed! Lee was a fantastical, wonderful bridesmaid at Caroline+Brian’s wedding last spring and we think that she’s the bee’s knees. Ed is her equally fun but red-headed counterpart who we also met at that wedding but didn’t really get to know all that well besides, “Hello!” Now they are engaged and asked us to do their photos in Durham, a city beloved by them both (and us!). Together they helped us navigate the landmine of poison ivy and spider webs in the woods, and then together we tackled some classic downtown Durham where they live and work (Ed is a landscape designer and Lee is a nurse). They both met back while they were living in Boone and worked at the same place (Lee was a server for a restaurant where Ed was a bouncer for the bar at night). They didn’t really talk to each other though, and weren’t very friendly. Lee handed Ed her ID one night to which he responded, “I know who you are.” Lee’s mom kept telling her that there was probably “someone right under your nose that you’ll spend the rest of your life with!” but Lee was adamant that there was not a single person she’d consider dating. At different times later they both moved to Raleigh. At some point they ended up hanging out. And now they’re on our blog being cuddly. Lee’s Mom, you were totally right.
