Our Wedding

If You Ask Claire:My life took the best turn possible the day before Thanksgiving 2024. It was just another day checking my Facebook dating app when I saw a really cute guy had liked my profile. I messaged him, he messaged back, and I guess you could say the rest is history! We texted nonstop for the next week until we made plans to meet in person for the first time for our first date. We met on November 29th at the Brewery in downtown Wichita Falls. I had never been more nervous for a date in my life! I even wrote out a list of questions I could ask him! The date was absolutely amazing. We stayed there and talked until they closed. It was like something you read about or see in a movie. I knew after that first date I had met my person. A few weeks later, after several dates, Travis asked me to be his girlfriend at the same place we met :) The Brewery will always hold a special place in my heart. We have been inseparable since the day we met and I never knew I could love someone as much as I love him. Travis got down on one knee and asked me to spend forever with him on January 31, 2025. It was the easiest "YES" of my life! He has shown me more grace, kindness, and love than I thought was possible to receive from another person. He has held me up in my darkest days and has jumped for joy with me on my happiest. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world because not only do I get to marry the love of my life, but I also get to love his little girl too and I can't wait to share their last name in just a few short months! If You Ask Travis:After a long time of it being just me and my little girl against the world. I had received a message on Facebook from Claire. I had never entertained the thought of going out on a date until my little girl had started periodically making comments about how I "need to go out" lol. She even chose my outfit for mine and Claire's first date, so we often give Aleah credit for what we know will be forever ❤️. Upon Aleah and Claire meeting, Aleah approached Claire with a big hug before even saying a word to one another. It's safe to say that I talked about Claire so much that Aleah probably felt like she already knew her lol. This was just confirmation that Claire was here to stay in our life's forever. The next date, I asked Claire to be my girlfriend in which I thought was the most nerve-racking moment I've ever experienced. That is until A little over a year later. On January 31st, 2025, I asked Claire to be my wife!!!!! This definitely takes the cake for the most nerve-racking moment I've ever experienced. I never knew this type of love existed. If she'd let me, I'd spend all day every day tending to her every need. She is so strong, so loving, so upbeat and optimistic towards anything life can throw at her. I hate to take away the "Claire Baer" poetry, but I just can't help it!!!!!! 💕💕💕

A Great Love Was Brewing

Travis and Jacob have been best friends since the 7th grade. It would be appropriate to say that these two are brothers! Jacob brings Travis flowers when he's sick and Travis always tends to gravitate towards Jacob's amazing musical abilities. 

Jacob Canedo

Shawn and Travis are brothers. Shawn has always been the ultimate big brother and always kept Travis safe. Throughout so many trials and tribulations, Travis and Shawn have never given up on each other, making their bond unbreakable! With a great personality and a testimony of a lifetime, Shawn makes for an instant best friend.

Shawn Williams

Austin, Travis, and your best man all three grew up together since the 7th grade. Austin does many things well but what he takes the most pride in is being loyal to his friends and family, always providing whenever he is called upon. On any given day, Austin is always good for providing a good laugh. When he, Travis, and Jacob are around each other, good luck keeping up with the ridiculous amount of movie quotes.

Ragan is the youngest of the squad, always keeping everyone up to date on the latest slang. Ragan is Austin and Jacobs little brother. Travis and Ragan have clicked since day one, spending allot of time fishing, hunting, and watching the ball games. Ragan is a heck of an athlete and quite the entrepreneur. Ladies........ Careful around this one.

Parker is Claires older brother and Travis' soon to be brother in-law. Even though Travis and Parker have only known each other for a short time, the laughs are endless! Travis and Parker can talk about sports for days. Parker is all about fashion, to say he's pumped to suit up would be an understatement.
