Callie Setzer & Spencer Carnes

May 14, 2021

When Spencer asked Callie to dance at a friend’s wedding in North Carolina, he had no idea she lived just a mile away from him in Mount Pleasant. The pair became fast friends, and after evacuating together to Florida during Hurricane Florence, they gave in to their undeniable chemistry and began to date. Spencer surprised Callie with a sunset beach proposal while on vacation in St. Augustine in 2020. The couple’s wedding and reception were held at The Cedar Room in downtown Charleston’s historic Cigar Factory, where they celebrated with their closest friends and family.
