The Beginning Of Forever

Ceremony

Our Wedding

As the universe would have it, the fated couple's story began at the beautiful setting of a paradise we call Suck Bang Blow, a biker bar in Shelby's hometown of Murrells Inlet, SC. It was Fall of 2020 and Shelby was in school completing her x-ray clinicals. Unable to have a full time job and catch back up on missed clinical time during covid dismissal, she stumbled upon a random gig working in a gift shop at SBB for Bike Week.   Covid times had recently brought Buck home to Charleston, from his studies in Columbia. Fated to to be at home working with his dad while things settled. October 1st, 2020 they worked their regular gig as security for Bike Week at SBB in Murrells Inlet.   As Buck tells the story, after his dad met Shelby, his dad radioed him to the gift shop to check it out. From Shelby's perspective, she noticed the curly haired boy with a green bean build rather quickly. He sauntered up to Shelby in his kevlar vest and introduced himself as Buck, to which Shelby replied with a smile, Well that will be easy to remember, that's my last name.   Their connection was palpable and they were drawn to each other immediately. After their shift together the following night they stayed up til the next morning talking. The next day she even made a joke to another coworker that she was going to marry him one day. Before heading back to Charleston that night, Buck asked to come back and take Shelby on a date. When he did, they went out for sushi and somehow ended up slow dancing at a secret spot on the water in Murrells Inlet.   From that moment on the two fell in love, and that love was quickly forged in the fire of Buck's father's passing 3 months later. After driving back and forth from Myrtle Beach for clinicals to Charleston to support Buck, Shelby graduated and moved to Charleston full time 5 months later, where they would continue their story.   From Buck teaching Shelby to ski, to her introducing him to the rave scene, the two have since traveled to 6 different states together, attended 15 music festivals, caught countless fish, bought a house in Charleston, made a few career changes, and made a large family of friends together.   We can't wait to begin this next chapter of our story with you.

Things to Do

Registry

In true Buck and Shelby fashion this is an elevated, fashion forward event. As we are in the City of Angels the dress code of our evening is formal in the theme of Heavenly Bodies. (Reference to the 2018 Met Gala theme) We encourage our guests to take this opportunity to step out of their comfort zones and live in our fantasy for a night. We are curating an ethereal atmosphere of regal whimsy with distinguished garments, elegant prints, and classy colors that best complement the wearer. It will be a night of dancing with angels and celebrating like gods. You may keep it as simply elegant or as boldly grandeur as you desire. However you do it, this is a formal event and we are excited to see you in your finery. This will be a rooftop ceremony and reception, and we expect it to cool off a bit in the evening once we lose the California sun. Below are a few styling, dress, and cosmetic ideas to spin off of.   If you want to indulge in luxury on a budget, I highly recommend Rent The Runway for your gown related needs. AKIRA.com is also one of my best kept secrets for an outside of the box and affordable look! I am more than happy to be of styling assistance and offer recommendations to whoever needs them as well. Please feel free to reach out in advance. -Shelby

What To Wear

The Oviatt

The Oviatt building was built by famous men’s fashion designer James Oviatt in the 1920s. The penthouse was curated with great attention to detail by Mr. Oviatt so that he may host his celebrity clients at his grandeur parties. The entire penthouse is fashioned with hand carved furniture, sandblasted windows, and fine art deco fixtures all imported from Paris in the 20s. The building is rich with history and elegance, with rooftop views of downtown LA. We don’t want to give too much away, so here’s a little sneak peek-

The Venue

We are sorry to hear you won't be able to make it! However this is not your only opportunity to celebrate with us! We will be having a celebration in South Carolina following the wedding, to celebrate with family members and friends that are unable to travel at this time.
