KATIE DAVIDSON & TURNER HENDERSON / August 8, 2020 With an original date set for June 13th, high school sweethearts Katie and Turner scaled back their guest list from 200 to 100, and then to 34 with just family members and their wedding party. “Though the decision to decrease the guest size was a difficult one, they knew that we still wanted to get married, and in the end we had the best time!” The special evening took place in the bride’s parents’ backyard in a spectacular clear tent with guests spread out in the original space with an expanded dance floor and Lt. Dan from Lightning 100 providing the music instead of a live band. They loved the “intimate night with their families and were able to focus on each other and the true meaning of the day,” said Katie. 84 slmag.net
The revised date coincidentally coincided with Turner and Katie’s high school anniversary, so they found that particularly special. Turner is a graduate of the University of North Carolina, and Katie is a graduate of Furman University. Both attended graduate programs at Vanderbilt University, where they were reunited and “picked up right where we left off.” They enjoyed a brief mini-moon at The Pearl Hotel in Rosemary Beach and hope to take a proper honeymoon somewhere exotic in the new year. The couple lives in Sylvan Park in Nashville, where Turner is an attorney with Bass Berry and Sims, and Katie is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner at Vanderbilt with the Transplant Center.
