Coterie member Smitha Lee Photography beautifully captured Behanca and Trendon’s “Day of Romance” at Cobblestone Park Golf Resort in South Carolina!
Behanca and Trendon first met while on a deployment for the military. Following a beautiful courtship, Behanca was surprised and elated when Trendon proposed to her on a trip to Savannah with close friends.
While at dinner on their first night, Behanca became confused when members of the wait staff started giving her roses. Moments later it all made sense when Trendon took her by the hand and got down on one knee.
Before Trendon could get the question out Behanca began screaming “I’m about to be a fiancé!!!”
Behanca and Trendon’s elegant wedding celebration featured classically romantic details such as red and pink roses, a horse and carriage, and custom fashion with romantic embellishments. The theme of their wedding was “A Day of Romance”. They wanted their guests to feel the love they have for each other.

How did you meet?
On a deployment.
Tell us about the proposal.
They went on a trip to Savannah with a group of their closest friends. On the first day, they had a bar tour planned, and after that, dinner. Everyone was dressed in Behanca’s favorite color (pink) and while waiting for the food the waitresses started giving Behanca a single rose.
Behanca became confused about what was going on so she asked the waitress “Why are y’all just giving me roses?” The waitress said, “We just do that sometimes”. A few moments passed by and Trendon stood up and grabbed Behanca’s hand.
Before Trendon could get the question out Behanca began screaming “I’m about to be a fiancé!!!”. She told Trendon to get down on his knee, and he asked her to marry him…the whole restaurant clapped!
