LOST MISSION WEDDINGS AND EVENTS

Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Cassidy and Cole both started attending Texas A&amp;M in the Fall of 2018. There, they both had an 8 am lab in the same building on the same day freshman year, got their Aggie rings the same weekend in April 2021, and even graduated just a few days apart in May of 2022. However, their paths never directly crossed and they did not know each other at A&amp;M.

It wasn’t until December of 2023 when Cole was living in New Braunfels, and Cassidy in San Antonio, that they finally connected on the dating app hinge.

On January 3rd, 2024 they finally met for a first date at an Italian restaurant. The date went way better than both of them could’ve imagined and the rest is history.

Cole proposed on April 19, 2025 which led them here, to planning their wedding for May 16, 2026.

When thinking about her something blue, Cassidy thought, why have an inanimate object that doesn't have meaning when I can have people I love dearly be my living representation of the “something blue.”
