Shelby + Addie
September 21, 2024
The Proposal
Shelby Turner and Addie Carothers met during their time at the University of Tampa and spent years as friends before they started to date. Addie chose a trip to their favorite kayaking spot in the area to stage her proposal.
The Big Day
Their wedding was an intimate gathering of just over 50 friends and family, with a classic, romantic style, taking place on a bounteous backdrop of hydrangea in bloom. Instead of florals, the warm light of candles down the center of long banquet tables gave a glow to brick courtyard and smiling faces alike. Afterward, they moved their merrymaking to Wind Creek and partied into the night. From the historic inn to the glitz of the casino, it was the perfect Bethlehem day to showcase the little town that raised Shelby and that they both love so much. Each guest left with a Bethlehem star ornament emblazoned with this special date.
