Wedding at Crump Place

Cynthia and Kevin Brewer, the new caretakers of Crump Place were married June 21, at 11:30 with their immediate family and nearest and dearest friends here sharing the day, along with ther children- a combined total of five! Kevin moved here from Memphis and Cynthia is a transplant from Illinois (she says, “yes, a Northerner, I know, but despite the rumors, we aren’t all bad.”) They visited Holly Springs for the first time right after Christmas and with Cynthia’s love for historic preservation and Kevin’s desire for a slower pace of life, Holly Springs seemed to be the perfect place to start their new family. And what better place to exchange vows than right in your own back yard, with Daisy the yellow lab underfoot and everyone gathered in the courtyard and on the porches to witness the day. Pictured above, from left: Noah Miller 12, Emily Miller 16, Holden Brewer 8, Cynthia Brewer, Tyler Brewer 10, Kevin Brewer, Katie Jo Miller 10.
