Our Wedding

Angelica and Quinten first met many many years ago when they were barely teenagers in the summer of 2013. Quinten was running in Angelica’s neighborhood and Angelica was riding a golf cart with friends. The second they met, they had an instant connection. When it was time for Angelica to go home, they unfortunately did not exchange contact info. For the following hours, Angelica could not stop thinking about that blonde haired, most handsome boy she had just met. To her surprise, Quinten must have felt the same, because he hunted down her Instagram, followed her, and initiated a conversation via DM. A few days later, Angelica’s mother had a night out, and she snuck Quinten into her house and they made Kraft Mac N Cheese. From that day on, they were attached at the hip. The following months consisted of hanging out every day and doing everything together. Finally, on Christmas Day of 2013, Quinten asked Angelica to be his girlfriend. That whole year, they created exceptional memories, including going to Universal Studios with Angelica’s family, having countless movie nights, and so much more. Unfortunately, in January of 2015, after about a year of dating, Angelica tragically broke Quintens heart… they were so young and didn’t think they knew what love meant. Little did they know, this was just the beginning of their story. As years went on, Angelica and Quinten ceased all communication and rarely saw one another in their high school hallway. They both dated different people and established their own friend groups. Fast forward to 2020, the drastic year of the pandemic, Angelica was certain that she was “done” with boys for good and expected to be single the rest of her life. Quinten had moved to Auburn and was living with his friends. One night, Quinten was isolated in his bedroom in Auburn because he had covid. In his words exactly, he will tell you: “I got drunk on Jim Beam since I couldn’t taste anything, and added Angelica back on snapchat.” Angelica was extremely curious when she saw Quintens name pop up on her phone and added him back. That night, they struck conversation and face-timed. The continued casually talking talked for the following months. In November 2020, Angelica moved into an apartment in Huntsville and invited Quinten over. He was terribly nervous, and as he stepped out of his truck, his door hit Angelica’s car door. He then proceeded to hug her and stepped on Angelica’s foot. Angelica didn’t even notice because little did he know, she was just as nervous. That night, they swore they were not looking for a relationship, both knowing that was a lie because they felt that exact spark they did many years ago. As the month followed, they spent every day together again and learned what they had each been doing all the years they hadn’t been talking. Come January 2021, Quinten took a chance and asked Angelica to be his girlfriend for the second time, to which she of course said yes! That spring, Quinten would come home from Auburn every chance he could, always using some other excuse to come home to see her. In April, he decided to move back home. By June, they had moved into Angelica’s apartment together. Before they knew it, they were looking at wedding rings and planning their imaginary wedding. In November 2021, Quinten made that dream come true and bought a ring, planning to propose on Christmas Eve or New Years. However, he was too excited and just couldn’t wait. The day after he got the ring, Quinten took Angelica to a lake house in Grant, AL with his family, made her wake up early that morning for sunrise, and he got down on one knee in front of the lake and asked her to be his forever. She obviously said YES. They have been planning a wedding for nearly 2 years now and cannot wait to tie the knot on October 21, 2023. Their love for another is extremely strong and has been, even in the years they were apart. If you ask Quinten and Angelica, they will tell you that they are living proof that “what’s meant to be will be,” as they both happily found on another again.

Our Story

Being my younger sister and built-in lifelong best friend, I couldn’t imagine anyone else being my Maid of Honor. Caitlin is the most loving, kind-hearted, and funniest person I have ever met who has been through everything with me. In my best of times and my worst, I can always count that my baby sister will be there for me. Caitlin is someone that lights up every room she walks into. I truly couldn’t imagine growing up without her. There is no bond like a sister, and I can’t wait to have Caitlin by my side on the biggest day of my life.

As Courtnee is my older sister, I couldn’t think of anyone else to hold the role of Matron of Honor. While we may not have grown up together, we have achieved a beautiful relationship over the years. My favorite memory with her encompasses my trip to Arizona, where I got to see where she grew up. Courtnee is someone that everyone can relate to, and you can count on her offering any advice she has. She truly is the epitome of “older sister” and I can’t wait to have her by my side.

Anna and I became close friends at the beginning of our senior year in high school. While we had many run-ins in high school (and some interesting stories to prove it,) our relationship flourished senior year, and we became inseparable. Anna is someone that relates to me like no other, and always makes me laugh and feel my most confident. If you see us in public, you may wonder what the heck we are doing, as some say we have our own “language.” If I could have another Maid of Honor, Anna would certainly fit that role. I’m so excited to have one of my best friends stand by me in October.

Ashley is one of the sweetest, most selfless girls I have the honor to call one of my best friends. Ashley and I met our senior year of high school, and we have numerous memories together being wild, carefree teenagers. Now that we are older, we enjoy having “girls night outs,” consisting of Mexican or Italian cuisine, topped off with delicious cocktails of course. Ashley and I relate on all things wedding, so I know I made the right choice asking her to be a bridesmaid. I’m so excited to have one of my best friends stand by my side on October 21.

Kaci is a loving mother of 2 precious boys who will be our ring bearers, but her experience as a “mother-like” or “sister-like” figure dates back to 2000, when Quinten was born. Kaci is Quinten’s cousin and has ALWAYS been there for him… they were inseparable growing up. I had the honor of her extending that similar relationship to me when we met many years ago. Kaci is like an older sister to me, and I know I can talk to her about anything. I’m honored to have her stand by me for the most special day where I become part of her family.

Where do I even begin introducing my childhood best friend? Holly and I have known one another for YEARS. Our friendship dates back to our elementary and middle school days, where we met at Holy Spirit School. We did everything together, from singing together at Mass and talent shows, to setting up lemonade and cookie stands. While we ended up at different high school and colleges, Holly is someone that has always been there for me through absolutely everything. I’m so excited to have my childhood bestie stand by me on the biggest day that we used to dream about as little girls.

Disney. One of my absolute funniest, wildest, best friends. Disney and I met in high school, when I was a sophomore and she was a freshmen. She showed up to a cross country practice and I immediately took her under my wing. We hit it off so early in. Disney & I were so relatable and spent much time together with our friend, Cayden. You could always count on us being the loudest people at a cross country meet, as we were either dancing to the Chainsmokers songs or laughing hysterically at anything. I’m beyond thankful for the friendship I have with Disney, and can’t wait to have her stand by me come October.

Bobby and I have a lasting friendship that dates back to early high school years. I first met her at a cross country summer practice, and soon realized she would become not only my running buddy, but also one of my best friends. There are few high school memories that I cherish that don’t involve Bobby. We went to nearly every high school dance together and of course spent most of our Saturdays at cross country and track meets. We developed a remarkable friendship, and I have always been drawn to her. Bobby knows how to make me feel my best, physically and mentally. I’m beyond excited that she said yes to being by my side on my wedding day.

Alexis is the ultimate definition of kind and selfless. I have only known Alexis since September of 2022, but wow, am I so glad to have asked her to be a bridesmaid after getting to know her better. Over the last year or so, Alexis has become like a second younger sister to me. I truly love her like she is my blood. She is one of the most mature and relatable teenagers I have had the honor to meet. Sometimes, I even forget there is an age difference between us, as we can talk for hours. Alexis is Caitlin’s best friend, and the three of us have the best of times together. I’m so happy that Alexis moved all the way from Washington and gets to stand by me on October 21.

Campus 805 is an old school building that has been transformed into a large event center full of restaurants, axe throwing, arcade games, speakeasy’s, breweries, retail, and other entertainment venues. This center is very close to Stovehouse, which is another outdoor event center, so if you have time to spare, you can likely check out both in one trip :)

Since Huntsville is the “Rocket City,” I recommend visiting the The U.S. Space & Rocket Center, which is the Official Visitor Center for NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, and the home of Space Camp. It has one of the largest collections of rockets and space memorabilia on display anywhere in the world. There are several experiences for anyone of all age groups.
