We have learned a lot over the last year, about ourselves and each other, and we look forward to growing together as one, for the rest of our lives. We believe marriage is a gift from God, and it’s purpose is to bring him glory and make us more like him. We are committed to making him the foundation and center of our marriage.
Both of us have less than perfect pasts. Though raised in Christian homes, like many, we chose to do things our way for many years. Poor choices, and not fully submitting our lives to Christ, led both of us down paths that were unfulfilling. After painful events in both of our lives, we both decided to return to the Lord. Other than our decision to accept Christ many years ago, the decision to recommit to him fully, has been the most important and best decision of our lives. These “forks” in our roads also led us to each other! God is awesome like that! Seek his kingdom and righteousness first, and ALL these things (the desires of your heart) will be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33).
God redeems, restores, heals, provides, and loves us unconditionally. He works all things for the good of those who love him (Romans 8:28). We want friends, family, and the world to be reminded that GOD IS GOOD! 

Psalm 34:4-9
I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. 
This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. 
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. 
Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.

Our Wedding day: 

We were SO nervous in the weeks before our wedding because June was approaching and that means one thing in Texas, HEAT! It was getting hotter and hotter with no relief in sight and the forecasted temperature for our wedding day was 107 degrees. That is HOT! We planned to fight the extreme heat by offering water to our guests before the ceremony and moving cocktail hour indoors. Luckily for us, a cool front arrived on our wedding day and the weather was just perfect! Everything else was too! 

Query Events did a great job bringing our wedding vision to life and we incorporated some awesome antique pieces from Justin’s shop, Legacy Antiques. Our ceremony was so special as our preacher Ben shared letters that we had written to each other and we shared communion as our first act of marriage while our friends and family worshiped with us. Following the ceremony we kicked off the reception with a kids dance, and OH MY GOODNESS! To our surprise the boys really got after it, ALL night long. To say they “tore up the dance floor” would be a complete understatement. Their wedding shoes had to be retired at the end of the night as they were scuffed beyond repair. 

We decided to serve pie to our guests instead of cake because we’re southern and we both love pie. Ironically, our pies were made by Cake-Aholics. They whipped up key lime, chocolate, cherry, and pecan.

They were all delicious! During our pie cutting we sliced into a cherry pie and couldn’t stop eating it. We awkwardly fed each other an entire slice without a care that all eyes were on us. 

We ended the night with a homage to Neil Diamond as everyone gathered together to sing “Sweet Caroline.” Good times never seemed so good! Following our grand exit, we departed in Mr. Garrett’s SS Chevelle. As we approached Fort Worth, we caught the end of a fireworks show at the Botanical Gardens. It was an amazing finale to our special day!
