The Beginning:
A Round of Drinks, A Lifetime of Love
Brendan and Marguerite’s story started on a random Friday night at a brewery, thanks to a little courage and a round of drinks. While out with their roommates, the two struck up a conversation that quickly turned into hours of easy connection and laughter. Before the night ended, they exchanged numbers, and from that chance meeting, everything else fell perfectly into place.
the Proposal
Marguerite had no idea what was coming when the two took a casual walk along the beach in South Carolina before dinner. As they searched for seashells and enjoyed the sunset, Brendan let her wander ahead before calling her back to admire one more. When she turned around, he was down on one knee with a stunning ring, asking her to marry him. She said yes right away, followed by smiles, excitement, and a moment made even more magical by dolphins swimming just offshore.


Why Eagle Mountain?
Brendan and Marguerite discovered Eagle Mountain House by chance while visiting the area, and it immediately stood out.They loved the idea of celebrating in a place where their guests could stay together and where they could return for years to come. With its inviting atmosphere and all-in-one experience, it checked every box and more.
From the charm of the historic hotel to the attentive and welcoming staff, everything just felt right.
