For Callie and Eastin, home wasn’t just a backdrop for their wedding, it was the heart of it. What started out as a fourth grade crush deep in the heart of Beaumont, TX, became a slow burn through high school prom, a college date party, and then finally during COVID, a forever reconnection. Held at Callie’s childhood home their celebration was full of personal touches, deep roots, and the kind of emotional energy that only comes when the place is as meaningful as the people.
Planning began almost instantly, and though Callie once thought she’d choose a different venue from her sister’s, getting engaged made the decision obvious, home just felt right. “It’s your safe space,” she said. “It’s where we always were.” Their overlapping childhoods in Beaumont made the hometown location even more meaningful, with shared friend groups and sweet memories that layered into the day.
The week leading up to the wedding was a highlight for her mom, Rachael. “It felt like a movie,” she shared. “Like Father of the Bride. Tables going up, the tent arriving, my husband delivering lunch, our planner asking if I wanted coffee: it was magic.” Her dad, meanwhile, served as head of logistics, complete with irrigation maps and project plans to get the property photo-ready.
Callie’s design vision was timeless and personal: ivory and green, elegant magnolias from her family’s garden, and paper goods she dreamed up herself and sketched out with her beloved stationer. Every element, from koozies to invitations, was rich in sentiment and rooted in Southern charm.
The wedding day itself was surprisingly calm. Callie spent the morning outside in the sunshine with her golden retriever, Rye, her dog and unofficial co-star of the paper goods. Her bridal party lounged and laughed in a house full of memories, surrounded by portraits taken on the same front porch where the Roane kids had posed for every school dance. “It felt like a giant slumber party,” her mom remembered. The night ended on a sweet note with “Café Du Kent” beignets and a dance floor strewn with green, purple, and gold boa feathers: remnants of a hometown celebration that didn’t slow down for hours.
Callie shared, she wouldn’t trade a moment. “I wish I could’ve been a guest at my own wedding,” she said. Surrounded by the people they love in the place that raised them, Callie and Eastin’s wedding was more than a celebration it was the kind of day you never want to end, and the kind of love that will always feel like home.
