Caroline & Chris

The Couple

Caroline & Chris

After an embarrassing run-in at Innisfree in Tuscaloosa, you might be surprised that Chris agreed to go to a date party with Caroline. Luckily, that date party was a success, and they’ve been together ever since! They say, “when you know, you know.” Caroline knew immediately that Chris would be the man that she would eventually marry – they just had to get through two years dating long distance after graduating from college. During that time, there was a missed flight, a stomach virus, fun trips, and lots of tears, but they made it! Caroline and Chris are relieved to finally be in the same city again as they start this new chapter of their life. They cannot wait to celebrate their June nuptials with you in Birmingham!

EAT / DRINK

EAT

Automatic Seafood and Oysters

2824 5th Ave S
Birmingham, AL

Did you ever think Caroline would love a seafood restaurant? Well, neither did she. If you want to be surprised or just love seafood like Chris, make reservations at Automatic. The restaurant is classic but chic just like the food. Order the fish and chips!! You will not be disappointed!

EAT

Gianmarco's

721 Broadway Street
Birmingham, AL

A favorite of all those who call Birmingham home! Seriously! If you were to ask for a restaurant recommendation from someone, they’d more than likely tell you to visit Gianmarco’s. This is one of the best places for authentic Italian cuisine, and that’s coming from Chris who’s Italian. Call (205) 871-9622 for reservations. Gianmarco’s is typically booked 1-2 weeks in advance.

EAT

Soho Social

1830 29th Ave S #160
Homewood, AL

Caroline and Chris first visited here after she saw their giant pretzel and queso on Instagram. The pretzel/queso combo lived up to the hype, and they’ve been back many times since. If you’re looking for twists on American classics, Soho Social is the place to go. It’s just around the corner from The Valley Hotel!

EAT

EastWest

2306 2nd Avenue N
Birmingham, AL

We love this place! EastWest is located on one of the best streets downtown and offers an Asian fusion menu. If you only order one thing, order the West Wings. Chris and Caroline talk about them all the time.

EAT

Trattoria Zaza

207A 20th Street N
Birmingham, AL

Caroline loves brunch. Why? Because who wouldn’t want to drink a mimosa and eat a pizza or french toast at 11 AM. Brunch gives you options, and Caroline loves options when she eats. What better way to wrap up your weekend in Birmingham than eating Italian inspired brunch? This entire menu is not to be missed!
