It’s fitting that the romantic Two Meeting Street Inn, the historic Charleston, SC bed and breakfast located at the corner of Meeting Street and South Battery in Charleston’s prestigious South of Broad neighborhood, should also find its beginnings in a most touching story of love.
According to tradition, Waring Carrington, a successful Charleston SC jeweler, experienced love at first sight when he saw young Martha Williams in the late 1800s. The two were married in 1890 in a celebrated society event for which 2500 invitations were sent. Fittingly, the bride’s father, wealthy merchant George Williams, bestowed an incredibly generous wedding gift on the newlyweds.
