He ended up just laughing letting me know he actually liked country music, too. We were paired close together throughout the rest of the season and would message each other back and forth until one day he invited me down to visit him at college, and I kind of just never left!”Will You Marry Me?The couple went on a family vacation with Nicholas’s entire immediate family in November of 2022 to Disney World. “I kinda knew it was coming, but I just wasn\u2019t sure when,” Carson explains. “On our first day, we went to Galaxy\u2019s Edge in Hollywood Studios and took pictures in front of the Millennium Falcon because I\u2019m a big Star Wars fan. We\u2019ve taken photos here before so I figured we were going to do this then get on some rides\u2014but then everyone else started taking their phones out and I knew it was coming in that moment.” It was then that Nicholas got down on his knee and proposed. Carson doesn’t even remember what he said because she was in such shock! “We ended up getting told by cast members that barely anyone gets engaged here, so we got some vouchers for free goodies!” Carson adds. “I originally thought if it was going to happen this trip that it would be in front of the castle, but he really surprised me still.”Details of the DayFor their wedding on January 12, 2004, at The Carriage House in Galloway, the couple tried to go for a very rustic feel since Carson is from Texas. They added string lights above the ballroom and had a \u201cnaked cake\u201d with baby\u2019s breath as extra detailing. “We did a first look with my father, a first look with the groom, as well as with the groomsmen for a little ‘icing’ moment!” Carson adds. First DanceThe couple’s first dance song was \u201cHere, Tonight,\u201d by Brett Young. They also did a private last dance in the ballroom to \u201cIt\u2019s Been a Long, Long Time,\u201d by Kitty Kallen and Harry James. “I surprised my mom with a dance to ‘You\u2019ll Be In My Heart,’ by Phil Collins, because that was always our song to sing in the car when I was a child,” Carson adds.Favorite Moment“My husband is a police officer in Washington, DC, so my favorite moment was during the First Look with Nicholas,” Carson says. “I also had a patch sewn into the underside of my dress to surprise him with that had the words ‘He\u2019s my something blue’ with his badge number underneath.”Favorite DetailThe couple’s favorite detail was adding string lights from Earls Girls to their reception area to give it more of a rustic feel that Carson was dreaming of.Why Did You Choose The Carriage House?Nicholas went to Stockton University, so the couple spent a lot of time in the area because he lived in off-campus housing and it was where they had their first date. “We would drive by this venue all the time and always point out how pretty it is!” Carson explains.Advice for Others“My big piece of advice is to do whatever YOU want!” Carson says. “It is your big day and you\u2014hopefully\u2014only get one shot! Never worry about what other people will think if it\u2019s how you want your wedding to go.”HoneymoonThe couple went on a 12-day Caribbean cruise on the Norwegian Cruise Line, staying in the Haven Suite. “It was my first ever cruise!” Carson says.The TeamVenue | The Carriage House in GallowayPhotography |  Fresh New Angle Events in Toms RiverDeejay | Fresh New Angle Events in Toms RiverVideography | Fresh New Angle Events in Toms RiverLighting | Fresh New Angle Events in Toms RiverFlowers | Driftwood Florist in GallowayGown | Essence of Australia from Bridal Suite Boutique in Hamilton TownshipBride’s Rings |  Olive Ave JewelryGroom’s Ring | Manly BandsHair | Kiss The BrideCake | Luscious and Sweet Gourmet Bakery in GallowayTransportation | Mike\u2019s Limo ServiceHotel Block | Seaview A Dolce Hotel in GallowayBridesmaid Dresses | AzazieGroomsmen Suits | ChazMaTazzString Lights | Earls Girls in Egg Harbor CityHoneymoon | Twelve-day Caribbean cruise with Norwegian"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Carson and Nicholas at The Carriage House","item":"https:\/\/weddingfile.com\/carson-and-nicholas-at-the-carriage-house\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
