Our Wedding

As two juniors in high school, we were youngins at the Porch at Watermark introduced by a mutual friend. I instantly had a crush on George, while he had absolutely no idea and had no interest. After a couple of Instagram DMs and Snapchats exchanged, George finally started catching on, and we spent Covid quarantine hanging out with our group of mutual friends. Fast forward after a summer at camp and in Colorado, George finally asked me on a date in August, and we started dating shortly after in September of our senior year of high school. Even at a young age, we knew it was something special, and we had the best time getting to attend our dream university *WHOOP* together, building friendships and making the best memories. It was certainly a marathon of patience to date for over four years, but we are beyond thankful for the extra bit of life we got to spend together. The Lord has been so kind to grow us and our relationship with each other deeper and deeper as we fall more in love with each other and our Father. Finally, on November 24, 2024, George proposed behind the barn at his family's farm in Burton. Throughout the end of high school and all of college, we have gotten to make the sweetest memories at the farm with each other, our friends, and family. We spend our time riding horses, fishing, chasing cows, cooking food, playing games, and making fires. We could not imagine a more special place to get engaged, and now, invite all our closest family and friends to celebrate our wedding with. We cannot wait for October 4th to celebrate with the people who have poured into and supported us throughout the years. Our relationship is the greatest gift from the Lord, and we are so excited to spend the rest of our lives together serving Him. Please join us these coming months in prayer over our marriage and future family!

Accomodations

As October is a busy time for Round Top Antique Festival vendors to start setting up their booths, we suggest booking your accommodations at your earliest convenience! We've linked our hotel block below, but we suggest also looking at other hotels/bed &amp; breakfasts in Burton, Brenham, Giddings, or College Station, as well as Airbnbs/VRBOs in the area.

We have reserved the entire property at Milk and Honey Ranch for October 3rd and October 4th. There are lots of amenities and fun animals at Milk and Honey. A handful of immediate family and friends will also be staying there, so it should be enjoyable to hang out around the property together. Milk and Honey is just 10 minutes from the wedding location. If you would like more details and pricing for staying at Milk and Honey, please text Avery or George (or an immediate family member)!

Some of Our Favorite Spots

Just 20 minutes from the farm, this restaurant has been one of George and Avery's favorites throughout college and is where they ate right after getting engaged! We suggest the loaded nachos or pizza, but everything is good! Live music on most Friday and Saturday nights

The Stone Cellar

With a coffee shop at the front and a general goods store at the back, Ballad of the Bird Dog / Mescalito Coffee is the perfect stop in downtown Brenham's square.

Ballad of the Bird Dog

Our go-to burger stop in south Brenham when taking a trip to the farm to ride horses!

Dairy Bar

If you get in town Friday before 5 p.m., grab a dollar scoop of ice cream at the Blue Bell factory!

Blue Bell Creameries

Old-fashioned parlor for ice cream, homemade pie &amp; cake, plus soups, sandwiches &amp; quiche
