Happily Ever After Party

Ceremony

We will be eloping with our immediate family the night before our Happily Ever After Party. We completely understand if you are unable to attend due to travel or other commitments. Your love and support mean the world to us, and you’ll be deeply missed! Raise a Glass - Your Way!In the spirit of keeping things casual and fun, we're asking guests to bring along their drink of choice: BYOB style! We plan to have some non-alcoholic drinks, beer, and wine available while supplies last, but please feel free to bring your own cooler!

Our Wedding

Abbie and Trevor first crossed paths during graduate school at Southeastern Louisiana University. At the time, they were just classmates sharing a few of the same courses and exchanging polite nods in passing. Part of their program involved giving feedback on each other’s projects, and Abbie will&nbsp;admit she was pretty tough on Trevor’s work that first year. Maybe too tough. But then something shifted. As their second year began, Abbie and Trevor started to notice each other in a different light. What began as a casual acquaintance slowly turned into a quiet crush, one that they couldn’t ignore. One day, Trevor decided to take a chance and began to pursue Abbie. To his surprise (and relief), she was just as interested in him. They spent their first evening together on October 14th, 2022, and from that night on, everything felt different: easy, exciting, and full of possibility. Just two weeks later, on October 28th, Trevor asked Abbie to be his girlfriend in the sweetest way, with the first pair of shoes he ever bought her. It was the beginning of something truly special.
