When he was drafted in 2022, Fawn, a content creator and owner of both a beauty brand and fashion label, reached out to congratulate him, not thinking much would come from the interaction."I was so not looking for a relationship, not even a little bit, and I don't think he was either," she said. "Then we just hit it off.""After about a week, we were like, 'Yeah, I think we actually might be getting married,'" Fawn told Business Insider.They've been an item since, and Estep proposed in December 2023.

Channing Price Fawn wasn't a bride who grew up dreaming of her perfect wedding."Growing up, I didn't care if I ever had a wedding," she said. "My parents never had a wedding. They got married at the courthouse. My brother did the same thing."When they got engaged, Estep and Fawn decided they actually did want to celebrate their union with a wedding. Still, they kept it small, partly because Fawn had also heard stories of couples regretting their big, expensive events.They invited just 32 people to watch them say their vows at Fawn's family farm on October 24, 2024.However, Fawn had big ideas for one part of the wedding: her dress.She wanted a standout wedding look. Channing Price Fawn didn't start shopping for her wedding dress until July 2024, despite knowing she wanted a unique bridal look."I'm very into fashion. It's what a lot of my content is based around," she told BI. "When I turned 24, I really stepped into the person I wanted to be and the person I wanted to dress like."She wanted her wedding dress to reflect that vibe, and she soon had her heart set on a dress that had yet to be released. Fawn reached out to the brand, and they agreed to send the dress to a store in Nashville so she could try it on.However, during her trip to Nashville, Fawn stopped into Dress Theory with her best friend, and with the help of stylist Ali Gray, she fell head over heels for a look made of bridal separates.Three separates formed a one-of-a-kind bridal look for Fawn.Katie Fawn used bridal separates to create her wedding look. Channing Price Fawn said her stylist suggested combining three separate bridal pieces to create her wedding look."She pulled a bunch of different things for me to try on, and I kept putting things on, and I was like, 'Yes, this is a beautiful dress, but it wasn't the one that I saw myself in or saw myself feeling great in,'" Fawn said.When Gray suggested a two-piece ensemble instead of a dress, Fawn was intrigued. Gray then created a bridal look for her made of pieces from three separate collections and Fawn loved it.Fawn swooned over the detached corset.The corset was covered in lace. Channing Price The top of Fawn's wedding look was made up of a corset from Sept by Sarah Seven."She showed me the corset first, and at that point, I think all the common sense I had about cost went out the window," Fawn said. "I was like, 'I don't know what I'll do, but I will get that corset.'"The semi-sheer corset had a pointed, strapless neckline, and the fabric was covered in floral detailing. Thanks to the transparent fabric, its boning was delicately exposed. It hugged tightly to Fawn's figure and ended in points on either side.Fawn thought the corset would be beautiful for her wedding, but she also loved that she could rewear it with more casual pieces for future anniversaries or special trips with Estep.She paired the corset with a form-fitting mermaid skirt.Each part of the outfit came from different collections.

Channing Price "I wanted people to look at my wedding gown and not know if it was from the '20s, the '50s, if it was from now," Fawn said of her vision for her bridal look. "I wanted it to be a timeless, elegant, and very chic look."The skirt and corset were beautiful on their own, but Fawn said adding a statement scarf from Danielle Frankel transformed the outfit."It changed the entire look," she said. "It brought it together. It enhanced the little pieces of the corset and the lace. It brought out the different textures."The scarf doubled as a stand-in for a train and veil.The scarf functioned like a train and veil. Channing Price The floor-length scarf flowed out behind Fawn like a cathedral veil for much of the day.Fawn said she knew she didn't want a veil and loved how "unexpected" the scarf was in its place.Fawn played with different scarf looks throughout the day as well.The scarf looked like a cape at times, too. Channing Price Fawn also posed with the scarf flowing over her shoulder, pulling the semi-sheer fabric wide.The effect created a cape-like look in some of her wedding photos, which Channing Price took."It just felt like it completed the look," Fawn said of the scarf.Fawn kept her other accessories simple because she wanted the scarf and corset to shine. She wore $12 earrings from Amazon, a tennis bracelet, and a ring that belonged to her mom.Fawn already had the perfect shoes to wear with her gown.Katie Fawn's shoes matched the corset.

"It was very low-key, very relaxed, and not some sort of big, stressful, awful thing.""It was so lovely," she said of her wedding. "There wasn't a part of the day that I was like, 'Oh, I wish I would have done this differently.'"Fawn and Estep's reception took place on the farm as well.Their loved ones gathered at long tables during the reception. Channing Price The couple's loved ones gathered around estate-style tables featuring florals from Betty's Flowers."When my family built their house, they positioned it so that the sun would set in the backyard," Fawn said.

Channing Price "I think a lot of brides that I've spoken to buy a dress really early and then end up disliking it or wishing they would have gotten something different," Fawn said. "They bought it, you know, a year to two years or however long it is before their wedding, and sometimes their style might change, or they feel less pressured later on."She thinks more brides should take their time searching for their dress to ensure it's what they want."They can kind of loosen the reins and say, 'What do I want to wear to my wedding? What do I want to show up as? What is gonna make me feel like the best version of myself?'""He is the most genuine person I've ever met," Fawn said of her husband.The newlyweds. Channing Price "He just brings out a side of me I didn't know I had, and I love that about him," Fawn said. "I love that he is who he is and he's first and foremost kind, but also that he challenges me to be a better version of myself and makes me a better person.""I know relationships are hard, marriage is hard, life is hard, and doing it with somebody else is not always the easiest thing," Fawn said. "But there's no other person I would ever want to do it with or even consider doing it with."
