Our Wedding

How in the world did this thing start?

Where do we begin… First off, thanks for scanning the code, I wasn’t sure if it would really work.. -D Once upon a time there was a young, strikingly handsome, stud muffin of a man. He laid his eyes upon the most beautiful, smart, sweet, slightly nerdish but still very sexy woman. It was late in the night when our hero first saw his soon to be heroine. He recalls to this day how her eyes sparked from the red and blue wee-woo’s and even more so the feeling of awestruck love that he felt. It was truly love at first, well maybe like third, sight. In all seriousness, God had an incredible predetermined plan in mind when He allowed our two paths to intersect at work. Our connection was instantaneous, as we soon discovered that both of us had passions and callings almost one in the same. Our friendship continued to grow and grow and the connection sprouted greater and greater. We started dating not long after we met, realizing that what we had was something neither one of us had experienced before. We discovered that we complimented one another beautifully, bringing strengths that help weaknesses, and laughs that soaked up tears. God placed marriage on our hearts shortly after dating began, knowing that we wanted to spend our lives together, making memories, slightly annoying each other, and just genuinely enjoying life. Our marriage journey began in the wilderness of Big Bend National Park, surrounded by none other than a handful of critters and the majesty of God’s creation. It was there that we committed our lives to one another with a simple question and answer. It was there that our lives would completely be changed forever. It was there that our families legacy would have a new story written. Since that day in the wilderness, we have faced ups and downs, highs and lows. We have seen one another grow in ways only true agape love can grow a person. Our family is thriving, playing sports, causing ruckus, and just having pure wholesome fun. As we sit at the airport bar, sipping on Tequila Sunrises’, typing this, about to board a plane bound for a week full of joyful memories, we can’t help but be excited to celebrate our union with you. We smile at the fact that our friends, family, and everyone in between get to have a front row seat of two professing their love for one another, children gaining a mother, and a family finally finding wholeness and completeness. Thank you for reading this much, we love you and we can’t wait to celebrate with you! - Derek &amp; Bree
