Angela&Kenny
September 18, 2010
A college weekend getaway to visit her best
friend at East Carolina University turned
into something more for Angela Hatch
when she met Kenny Ripley. Forced to spend time
together when their two best friends began dating,
Kenny proposed on Christmas five years later.
The Wrightsville Beach wedding took place
on a beautiful September day. Kenny had the
opportunity to surf with his brother that morning
before the ceremony. There was a light sea
breeze and the sun was in the sky as Kenny and
Angela said their vows among family, friends
and sand dunes.
“The wedding was absolutely gorgeous, she
was absolutely gorgeous,” says Kenny. “All of
my favorite things fell into place that day.”
After their peaceful wedding, the couple spent
time at Montego Bay, Jamaica. Snorkeling, climbing
waterfalls and visiting the Bob Marley museum
filled the newlyweds’ schedule as they relaxed amid
the tropical scenery.
The two now live in Kernersville, North
Carolina, where Kenny works for Federated
Insurance and Angela as an assistant in a
doctor’s office. With plans to return to the spot
where they wed in the future, it is obvious that
this happy couple will keep their seaside wedding
in their thoughts forever.
