"A Locket of Love" features a young bride who is finally marrying her first ever love in her hometown with a gorgeous old Southern plantation backdrop. Hutch and Anne first met among the Southern pines of South Carolina when she was just old enough to drive. He held her hand all summer, from front porch swinging to water hole jumping. Her heart buzzed like cicada at dusk whenever they were together. Just six dates in and she knew Hutch was her first – and only – love. He expressed the same by slipping a beautiful gold locket around her neck that first summer, sharing this beloved poem:

i carry your heart with me
i carry it in my heart
i am never without it
anywhere i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done by only me
is your doing, my darling. ~ e.e. cummings

Anne was never without Hutch, or that locket. After finishing high school and college, they are more grown up and more in love than ever before. Hutch led her to that very spot their first met and asked to spend the rest of his life with her. She joyfully said yes as he slipped a beautiful ring on her left hand. Their wedding day plays ode to their home in the Palmetto State and homegrown love set along a windy tree-lined drive of the most historical and romantic plantation in their town. From the Palmetto place cards to the state-shaped poem, their wedding details reflect where their love first took root and continues to bloom - in South Carolina
