Shalyn and Caleb's wedding on June 29, 2024, in Spangle, WA, was a whirlwind of a day that turned into a beautiful boho-western celebration! With colors of burnt orange and burgundy setting the scene, the morning started with a series of mishaps—from a twisted ankle to a hospital visit, and even a curling iron incident. But the moment Shalyn put on her dress, the chaos melted away, and the day transformed into something truly magical. The ceremony was filled with heartfelt tears, especially as Caleb’s personal vows made Shalyn fall even deeper in love. The highlight? Shalyn’s brother surprising everyone with a song from their favorite movie—his first time singing in front of anyone! It was a memory she’ll cherish forever. Congratulations Shalyn and Caleb! Welcome to the Believe Bride Family!
The Proposal! He proposed to me out on my families property on pend Oreille that I grew up on. It was me, him, our daughter and our new puppy!! And then right after he proposed we surprised our family with another baby announcement because I was pregnant with our son!!!!
The Dress! I knew what dress I wanted the moment I saw it. I was at the bridal expo at the convention center and saw it on a mannequin cloud 9 had out. I went to try it on and they thought I wouldn’t be able to try it on because they only had smaller sizes but when she checked they got my exact size in that morning. I fell in love with it but decided to keep looking. Then when I came to believe bride I tried more dresses and y’all said you had my original favorite in your store! I had done some modeling of a believe bride dress before and loved the store so much. Y’all beat the price that cloud 9 was going to give me and I took home my dress a couple months later!!!
The Big Day! Our wedding was boho-western and my colors were burnt orange and burgundy. I had many complications my wedding day, my mom twisted her ankle, my best friends dad totaled his truck, my sister-in-law got sick and had to go to the hospital, and my son grabbed a curling iron. The whole morning was crazy and nerve wrecking. But as soon as I put my dress on everything seemed to calm down and the nerves melted away. The rest of the day was beautiful, the ceremony was full of tears and you could feel the love. And now I get to call my best friend and the father of my babies my husband. Even with all the complications, it turned out to be the best day in the end!’
What was your favorite part of your wedding? Our ceremony was my favorite. Hearing his personal vows made me fall deeper in love with him.
Special Memories! After all of the speeches (they were all beautiful) my brother gave a surprise speech and then ended up singing our favorite song from our favorite movie! He’s never sang in front of anyone before but it was amazing and something I’ll never forget!
