Our Wedding

Adam and I first "met" on a zoom planning call for our church's young adults retreat. I just remember this guy named Adam hopped on late to the call and seemed kinda flustered, and that's about it. When he texted me about driving a late car down I was like heck yes, I don't have to drive, praise the Lord! We met for the first time when I walked into his house on the day of the retreat, and I was like okay this boy is tall and cute! We spent the weekend at the young adults retreat and very quickly hit it off. He was easy to talk to, competitive, funny and just adorable. By the end of that weekend, or let's be honest, shortly into the weekend I was very interested. When we got back from the weekend Adam would text me first to make sure I would be at the group hang outs that he would want to plan and then he would text everyone else. I really enjoyed being around him. The first time we were together just us, he had offered in our group message to drive anyone to the grocery store to shop for Memorial Day. Carley texted me and said "yes, you want him to pick you up, respond now." Thanks Carley!!!!When we got back from the grocery store I had absolutely locked myself out of the house. I told Adam he didn't have to wait with me, but being the gentleman he is, he sat and waited with me until my landlord could let me in the house. Memorial day was the most fun day, we cooked out with friends, swam at the pool and then played an intense game of Mario Cart that led to date zero. Adam beat me at that game, unacceptable, and so I challenged him to a rematch. He planned it for a few days later and then fished to see if anyone else would be joining us LOL He picked me up that night and we grabbed dinner at Cava and then played Mario Cart and talked for hours. He for sure let me beat him which is whatever. We like to call that night date zero, because it was absolutely a date but we hadn't officially labeled it. That night, Adam said "I really enjoy spending time with you and I would love to take you on an actual date." I said "absolutely." Throughout our relationship he has been the most kind, honest, loving man. I have never had to guess what he is feeling, he is straight forward and bold in his conversations which has been such a blessing. He told me he loved me FIVE days into our official relationship in the midst of my panic attack and I gas lit him when it slipped out over facetime months later and I denied it for an entire day. Our relationship is imperfectly perfect, there is lots of laughter, lots of deep conversations and lots and lots of dancing. Adam has pursued me and loved me so well every step of the way. The extent to which he went to plan our beautiful, surprise engagement is a testament to the thoughtfulness and kindness that is Adam Lishman. There is so much more to our story, and we would love to tell you the hilarious and precious stories in person, so ask away! But, from the beginning Adam has pursued me, pushed me closer to Lord, encouraged me, and walked beside me and I cannot wait for our story to continue on and on and I can't wait to be his WIFEY!!!!

Her Story: How We Met

I first saw Ryann on a Zoom call where some of us were going over the church retreat planning. I joined late cause "Oh its just a planning call and I need groceries". I was walking in my front door, groceries in hand when I pulled up Zoom on my phone. Instantly I saw Ryann and my heartbeat quickened. I thought to myself "oh shoot - who's THIS??" I crammed all my groceries into the fridge and scrambled to get seated on the couch. I knew going into that weekend, I wanted to get to know Ryann. She was going to be leading one of the small groups so that was already a big green flag to me! She was also at my church - another green flag! Now the drive was going to be a good hour so I figured carpooling would be a good way to meet in a group setting. I texted my friend Sam and asked him to start a group text so I could get things going ;) Friday afternoon arrived overcast and rainy, and I heard a knock at the door (with lots of giggling). That's when I saw really saw her for the first time. I can still picture that exact moment (she had straightened her hair, black glasses, a white tank top, jean shorts, and a hint of perfume... ultra cute!!) She walks into my house with the biggest smile, laughing because she and the girls had just walked into my next door neighbor's house by accident. I would soon come to find out this is on brand for Ryann - big smiles and a joyful spirit! A year later I would read Proverbs 31:25 during my proposal, and this moment came to mind... "she laughs at the time to come". You can't keep Ryann down. She will just laugh at mistakes and trespass right into your home.

Hann and I have been friends since 7th grade. Through all the years and all the changes she has been my bestie and my sister. I am so thankful for her love, support and encouragement - the way she points me to the Lord and always makes me laugh! My soul sister forever, I can't image anyone else standing next to me on my wedding day!!!

I met Dr. Sam through Eastside about 3 years ago and we've been in the same homegroup ever since. Sam has been a steadfast friend. He's quick to text me about the latest Star Wars news or pick up the phone when I need prayer! After one of my early dates with Ryann, I called Sam in a panic. The date had gone really well, but I was falling for Ryann big time. I knew that if she broke up with me it would hurt more as we grew closer and I needed prayer. Sam was that guy! In the years ahead Ryann and I will need lots more prayer, and Sam I'll be picking up the phone to call you!

Sam Wang

Jasmine and I have been friends for 10+ years! They have been the sweetest years! I was so excited when I convinced her to move to Dallas (not sure she has forgiven me for that one yet) Jas is someone I know I can always count on to encourage me, laugh with me and point me to the Lord! Jas is also my go to Target companion, my Disney trip queenie and forever friend! 

Jasmine Jacob

Connor and I have been in homegroup together for 3 years running! I first met Connor at a Cafe Brazil where we talked about being in Christian community - and the years have gone by quick! For those that know me, I treasure my homegroup guys closely. Connor will be leading the homegroup that has done so much for me, and I know he will be a blessing to others! Connor is a dear friend, and I can always count on him to pray with me and go rock climbing at Movement gym! 

Connor Jones

Bailey and I became friends freshman year of College. I remember first meeting her and immediately wanting to be her friend. She is always ready for an adventure and my favorite phrase of hers is "let's go play." Bailey is the type of friend that remembers everything you tell her, she checks in on you, mails you fun little gifts at random times. I'm so proud to call her my friend! 

Bailey Anderson

I love everything about this picture because it so encapsulates Bryce Hoffman's personality. Sports game on TV? Check. Milo Butterfingers bar? Totally. Telling a funny story? Always. This is a man you want to be lifelong friends with. He will bearhug you, cry for you, and roast you and it will all happen in about the same 60 seconds. My life is so much better for getting to be around the faithfulness of Bryce!

Bryce Hoffman

Aubrey and I met at work and the first time we hung out I was sleeping on her couch because my AC went out. Fast forward a few years and she is truly one of my best friends and roomie! Being friends with Aubs means being ready for road trips, lots of reality tv dramas and endless laughter. I am so thankful for her friendship and getting to walk through life with her these past few years - she is a lifelong friend!!! 

Aubrey Strohla

Chase and I first met in fall 2013 at SMU. I had just pledged the Christian fraternity BYX and one weekend we had a retreat. I can't share all the secrets, but at one point in the weekend I took off a blindfold to see Chase's goofy and earnest smile for the first time. He was to be my big brother and I had NO idea what I was in for. Chase seriously invested time into me and loved spontaneously picking me up in his black Dodge Challenger at night. I love that we're both in Dallas still and remain close friends 11 years later!!!

Chase Harker

Lindsey!! The sweetest most unexpected friendship! Lindsey's husband Preston was one of my closest friends in college but I didn't get the chance to know Lindsey. When they moved to Dallas, we both decided that we should be friends and what a blessing that has been!!! Lindsey is kind, compassionate, honest and always ready to create a cocktail of some sort. I am so glad the Lord moved them to Dallas and blessed me with the sweetest friendship! 

Lindsey Lott

Johnny is another dear friend from homegroup ! My first introduction to Johnny was through our mutual friend Grayson (another homegroup guy). Grayson said "You and Johnny are so similar. You're either going to love each other. Or hate each other. I'm not sure." With that solid vote of confidence I met Johnny and instantly knew we would be fast friends. Johnny LOVES people and hosts people better than anyone I know. He WILL celebrate you and charm you with his quick wit and kindness. Look out!!

Johnny Frederick

Michelle is one of my biggest Dallas blessings. Michelle and I first became friends when we randomly got coffee one day and never stopped getting coffee. Our weekly Friday Coffee date was the sweetest time getting to talk about life and the Lord. Michelle is loyal, kind, bold and such a sweet friend! 

Michelle Taylor

I met Austin day 1 at SMU as one of my roommates. Austin is a steadfast friend. When my dad was diagnosed with cancer, Austin was the most consistent in asking me about it. Even as the years stretched out without many new updates he would ask and remember. When we hangout, I can count on this guy to get me into trouble but more importantly - get me out of it!

Austin Deters

Carley girl - the boldest, brightest, woman I know! Carley and I had a girlies wine night one night and everything after that was deep friendship, LOTS of laughter, many themed parties and spicy theological discussions. Carley is the sweetest  and I am so lucky to call her my friend! 

Carley English

When Ryann first invited me to meet her parents I was so nervous. I was expecting all these serious questions (and got them) but Joshua can change the mood of the room. He would tell funny stories and make jokes that distracted their dad - and I am eternally grateful hahaha! Joshua can also RIP it down the slopes on a snowboard. Even when I tried to keep up I just couldn't find a way to go as fast. Gravity works differently on this guy.

Joshua Hardwick

Teagen and I actually met in college but became close friends this past year. It has been the absolute sweetest year of friendship. Teagen is the kindest person, she is always there for her people and I am so blessed to be one of those. She is my workout buddy and will always encourage me to be a butterfly, not a moth! Teagen is a lifelong friend and I am so blessed the Lord brought her into my life!! 

Teagen Anderson

Isaac is the baby brother of my family, but you probably can't tell cause he's the tallest, strongest, and fastest of the 3 of us. I absolutely adore Isaac. He makes me laugh with his Gen Z humor and then I try to use it in ways that make him cringe until it's not cool anymore. He's also wicked good at strategy games, and when we gather together for Summer/Christmas breaks I get to try beating him and love every minute of it!

Isaac Lishman

Of all my groomsman I get to say I've known Noah the longest! 25 years! Noah and I have always been "gamers" even before that term was ever really used. When we were kids, our parents tried so hard to stop us from playing more than "an hour a day" on the computer. We were really crafty and found ways to play computer games a lot and then as our parents arrived home make it look like we had been doing something else the whole time. Now that we're both adults, I can say our Mom & Dad failed to get it out of us. We're still "gamers" and pretty good ones too!

Noah Lishman

Christian (middle) represents my absolute BEST friends from high school!! The four of us met day 1 in freshman biology class. Somehow we learned we all love Star Wars and immediately became fast friends. We go wayyyyy back now and have played countless hours (years?) of games: Star Wars the Old Republic, League of Legends, Axis & Allies, and most recently Star Wars: Legion! Give me a Friday night and these are the guys you'll see me rolling dice with!
