When Chris Cooley met Audrey Gaskins at a birthday party in Boston in 2013, little did they know of the adventures ahead. Their journey together included enough travel that when Chris proposed to Audrey he planned each course to represent a country they had visited together. On Jan. 20, 2018, they wed at Charlotte United Methodist Church with the reception overlooking the city at the Charlotte City Club on the 32nd floor. Their decorated four-tiered cheese tower was served with a tres leches cake. Their send off was through arches of sparklers before they left for a two-week South African honeymoon with a wind down at the Four Seasons Resort in Seychelles. Parents of the couple, Roz and Byron Cooley, Rick and Bronwyn Gaskins, and Ruth and Dick Shaffner, sparkled too.
