Reception

Our Wedding

On behalf of the Bride and Groom, we welcome you to the week leading up to The Woolums Wedding! We have been waiting for the altar for 3,037 days, and for it to be here in 7 days (8, but sending it tonight because tomorrow is Fourth of July) is surreal. If us in seventh grade could just see us now. Thank you, Jesus! Our ceremony starts at 5:00 PM. Please plan to be seated by 4:40 PM or earlier to get a seat with the best views of the Bride, Groom, and river, and worst views of the sun. Please note the ceremony is unplugged - we have hired a professional photographer to do the job for you so you can just be present with us. Most of you have waited many, many days for Saturday, too, so please just savor our ceremony uninterruptedly alongside us. The dress code for the Woolums Wedding is semi-formal to accommodate our Kentucky summer heat (if you know, you know). Men, please plan to wear a short-sleeve or long-sleeve dress shirt (suit and tie are optional based on comfort but welcome) with dress pants or dress shorts alternatively. Women, please plan to wear a dress, a dressier top and bottom, or a pantsuit, all with dress shoes. Your "Sunday best" is welcome on this Saturday! Lastly, please note our head count was finalized with the caterer June 26th, so we are unable to accommodate guests who have not RSVPed or were not invited. If you are traveling from out of town or state, we so look forward to welcoming you to our Old Kentucky Home. Thank you and we love each one of you dearly. If you have additional questions, please check our "Q+A" first or text us at (859)-739-7870. See you SO soon!Kylie Callahan and Carson Woolums

("Fresh New Info") Woolums Wedding Agenda and Attire

Here is a Tale of Two Unofficially Middle School, Officially High School Sweethearts. I met Kylie in seventh grade through our mutual friend Colleen. We both loved to sing, and Kylie wanted to make it big singing. So, I became her "manager" and Kylie my "little client" (you should ask me to see the videos of seventh grade Kylie singing...). Kylie and I would talk everyday on Snapchat. I remember one night travelling up to Price Hill Chili with Mom, Dad, and Stewart and telling them about the girl who I was glued to the screen texting. Little did I know this "little client" would be their future daughter in-law and my future bride.-Flash forward to 2017. Stewart transfers to Randall K. Cooper High School, and I go with him. Turns out, Kylie was there, too. It was my first year at a public school. I knew no one, but Kylie remembered me and made sure I had a seat at her lunch table everyday. I could tell I was falling in love with her each soft pretzel and sparkling ice we shared, so I conspired with our friends Shannon and Colleen to see whether the feeling was mutual.-Both sources confirmed it was. I had to make a move. I asked Kylie to go to IHOP in February of 2018. Not quite a candle-lit steakhouse with bread service, but here I figured out Kylie loves pancakes and sugar makes her SO SLAPHAPPY (picture a Gremlin fed after midnight). It was snowing out and we were both in the coziest corner of the restaurant sipping hot chocolate. After this "date", I knew she was the one.-On March 16th, 2018, I invited her out to dinner at Via Vite in Cincinnati with Mom, Dad, Stewart, and Grandma. When I saw her and Dad goofing off leaving stickers underneath the table, I knew she just "clicked" with them. We got back home and I knew it was time to ask her out. We were in my room doing homework and I told her, if she would go out with me, I would do her science project.She said yes, I did her science project, and I've been with Kylie Renae for seven years. On Sunday, April 13th, 2025, I proposed to the one whom my soul loves - Kylie Renae Callahan. -I could write about you and us and how you've changed me long past whatever word limit this website imposes on me, long past I have breath to share these stories or ears willing to hear them. I've grown up with Kylie, but I can't wait to grow old with her. -To my Kyfoo, I can't wait to love you like Christ loved His bride the church and gave Himself for.- Cars

Our Engagement - Cafe Elliott, Dayton, KY, 4/13/2025

in the details

"I have found the one whom my soul loves." -  Song of Solomon 3:4

Cafe Elliott opened up in summer 2024 inside a repurposed gas station on a street corner in the charming river town of Dayton, KY. Kylie and I went with our dear friends Cass and Lexie for the first time on July 27th, 2024 and we fell in love with the people and the place. It has became Kylie and I's second home, where no matter how much caffeine our weeks demanded to survive, we could meet on the weekends at Elliott to sip our iced lattes and savor our time together which whoever sits across from us. I'm forever indebted to this special place, for Elijah allowing me to make it even the more special proposing to Kylie here, and for sweet Cass and Lexie for handling all the details and decorations.

Engagement Photos - French Park, Cincinnati, OH, 10/16/2025

The first professional couples photos Kylie and I ever got (which she loves to point out were, in fact, free from winning a contest) were in a field of tall grass in fall of 2022, so it was fitting our engagement photos with our wedding photographer Taylor were, too.

Q + A

To accommodate our loved ones from all parts of the Bluegrass and beyond,

Kylie and Carson have reserved Augusta's boutique hotel (and one hotel, for that matter) The Benchmark Inn. However, because it has just 10 rooms, we would recommend you either 1) book an Airbnb in Augusta or 2) book a room at the Hampton Inn in Maysville, KY which is 25 minutes from the venue.

Kylie and Carson reserved the entire Benchmark Inn for Saturday, July 11th into Sunday, July 12th. We currently have just 7 rooms remaining. Please use the link below to book your room at a 20% discounted rate. For the bride and grooms wedding parties and immediate families at the rehearsal dinner, please book Friday, July 10th into Saturday, July 11th too using their general link online and promo code 20OFF. The link is https://resnexus.com/resnexus/reservations/group/31CA0F44-3824-414D-8838-ABF93CF5A3D6?GID=82d62bb3-4e07-43e2-99c0-a3970010871b

This is a charming antique shop with two little ladies who run it. Kylie and I found a teal blue Victrola record player here the afternoon we toured Soli Tree Farms. It was fate because we had wanted one forever!

Nina's

Nestled in the coziest white riverfront house, Kylie and I found a lot of antiques here for our future nursery. Plus, the riverfront walk to get here makes it even more worth it.

Small Town Gift Shop

Kylie and I ate here to celebrate booking our wedding venue! We even reached out to Beehive to plan our rehearsal dinner there while we were still dining upstairs! Eat upstairs on the patio - the view of the Ohio River is stunning.

The largest and oldest winery in America is located right here in Augusta, KY!

Baker-Bird Winery

When I (Carson) was a freshman in high school, I was Ed Sullivan in the drama club's "White Christmas". We took a trip to the Rosemary Clooney Museum in Augusta. It was so cool to see all the original White Christmas costumes! This is a must-do in Augusta!
