Shelby and Trevor’s Enchanting Charleston Celebration at Harborside East
The Story of Shelby, Trevor, and their wedding day
By Alissa February 8th 2024
Trevor and Shelby first crossed paths during an internship while they were in college. Although Shelby still had one more year at Clemson University, Trevor had completed his studies and returned to Kentucky to embark on his engineering career. Just eight months later, as the world was struck by the COVID pandemic, Shelby visited Trevor in Kentucky, and unexpectedly landed a job at Ford. This prompted her to make the life-altering decision to move from Charleston to Louisville.
Their relationship blossomed amidst countless memorable date nights, culminating in the addition of a furry companion named Beamer and the purchase of their own home. For Shelby’s birthday, Trevor orchestrated a surprise trip to Dallas to reunite with her family, but little did she suspect that he had grander plans. Amidst the joyous family reunion, Trevor seized the perfect moment to propose, leaving Shelby utterly astonished. It was a weekend filled with love, surprises, and unforgettable memories, marking the beginning of their journey towards a lifetime of happiness together.
