When L indsay Spiers left to study in C hile the summer of her junior year at the
U niversity of N orth C arolina W ilmington, she realized that she was leaving behind
more than her beach hometown. H ayes H arkey had stolen her heart.
Y ears later, H ayes was down on one knee in N ew Y ork C ity.
“W e spent N ew Y ear’s E ve in the city. It was snowing and the lake in C entral Park was
frozen so we decided to take pictures. I was so surprised when he asked me to marry him,” says
L indsay, whose family was also present to celebrate the happy couple’s January 2010 proposal.
O n May 21, 2011, H ayes and L indsay married near the dunes at the W rightsville Beach
Surf C lub. W alking down the aisle with her father to an arrangement of “Somewhere O ver
T he R ainbow,” L indsay, inspired by her childhood love of “T he W izard of O z,” wore ruby
red slippers with her sparkling gown. W ith the ocean breeze in the background, H ayes and
L indsay exchanged vows under the arbor he had created, which now stands in their backyard.
Instead of throwing her bouquet, L indsay started a new tradition with her sorority sister
bridesmaids by writing little notes on the bottom of their shoes. W hoever had danced off the
letter the most by the end of the night would be next to walk down the aisle.
“T here really aren’t very many chances to have every single person you love in one room
so I wanted to make everything different and special,” says L indsay, who honeymooned with
H ayes in Italy.
T he two live in W ilmington where H ayes works as a commercial insurance agent at James
E . Moore and L indsay in pharmaceutical sales at Proficient L earning.
