Our Wedding

Dustyn and I started our journey way before 2014, who would've known God had already put my soulmate in my life at such a young age? We went to school together and ran in the same circle for a short time. I moved schools and never really saw him again. We reconnected with ME, yes me sending him a Facebook message after briefly talking to him one day. My heart just knew, I had to get to know him again. God knew what he was doing to cause us to cross paths again. His love for me went even deeper, because I had a kid that wasn't even his. He wasn't ashamed of me, but helped dig me out of the dark. Dustyn and I made it through college, a surprise baby, living in a camper, and building our forever home together. Through all the trials we've seemed to put marriage on the back burner. TEN years we've been in love and it's about time to exchange rings. Even though we've done things backwards and life isn't perfect we know that forever together is in store for us.

I'll Always Love You! 

Our Story

My mama made me who I am today! She is one of the strongest, most resilient individuals in my life. The saying, "mother knows best" is and will always be true. I constantly ask for her advice on everything. Dustyn jokes a lot because when I get mad he says, "oh here is little Heather". She is beautiful, selfless and perfect in my eyes.  She will be there to give me away on my special day. 

Heather "Madre" 

My daddy is a character that everyone loves. He is so soft spoken and up for any adventure. What I love most about him is his selflessness to help others in need. Plus, I get my good looks from him too. He has and will always be the best dad a girl could have. He will be walking me down the aisle + giving me away on my special day. Jokingly he will probably say to Dustyn, "no take backs, she's yours buddy". 

Tony "Padre"

Grandma Judy, is a grandma to all. She helps anyone in need which is one of her greatest quality. You can ask anyone at TRMC hospital if they know her, they will usually laugh and tell you how amazingly funny and wonderful of a lady she is. As a kid, I remember all the tea parties we had in her living room. It was a safe space to get dirty too, because my mom never let us roll around in the dirt like she did. She is an AMAZING cook and loves to share her craft with us all. She has taught me how to plant a garden, make pies, can pickles, and best of all make chicken and dressing which is my FAVORITE of hers. I love her so much and I'm so happy that she will be able to see me get married. 

Judy

Christy is Nona to all her grandkids. She has an amazing smile, positive attitude towards everything and is always willing to help. One of the best things about her is that she shows up to all the kids events to support them. We are so happy to have her celebrate our special day with us.

Christy 

There is so much to say about this special lady. She is my extra grandparent, but don't you dare call her a grandma she is "Mimi" to us all. She will literally drop what she is doing and come straight to school and bring me something I've left at home. Her grandkids are her pride and joy. She NEVER misses anything from a sporting event, to even a perfect attendance award. I'm incredibly lucky to have her and even luckier to live right across the road from her. When I handed her the wedding invitation she said, "it made her heart so happy". I know she's been patiently waiting for us to finally get married and I'm so excited for her to share the day with us. 

Charlotte 

Papa is the guy that you call when everything goes wrong. He is my "extra" grandpa and the only one that I have left. He helps me pull my snow cone trailers, changes the oil in my car, watches the kids when I have to be places, and does about hundred more things for me. Papa has such a great personality that will make you laugh too. Dustyn and I are very grateful for all you do and continue to do. We are proud to have you be at our special day with us. 

Gary

Nene is gracious, kind and funny. She is creative to & makes me the prettiest earrings a girl could ever want. I love the relationship she has with Papa Jay, they are truly the bestest of friends. Her greatest quality is the willingness to always get out there and try new things. She also makes some of the best chicken wings on the block. I'm so grateful that she will be there to make memories with us on our wedding day.

Debbie

Papa Jay, is one of the most creative, self-driven individuals you'll ever meet. He is incredibly strong too! When he was diagnosed with cancer, he fought and WON! He is easy to talk to and gives some of the greatest advice. One of the greatest qualities he has is to tell it how it is. I love how he gets straight to the point on things & never sugarcoats it for you. He is my go to leatherworker and has made some of the most beautiful purses for me. We love him dearly and are so glad he will be celebrating with us on our day. 

My Cacky, is my oldest sister and biggest cheerleader. Callie has been there for me ALWAYS. She helped me raise Johncye and make it through college alive. We use to live right next door to each other, and we about lost our minds when I moved fifteen minutes away. She has always supported my dreams, held me when I cried, and brought me coffee when I really needed it. We are sisters and forever best friends. I can't wait for her to see me walk down the aisle. 

Callie

Madi, is my young, beautiful, fun sister. She is a hard-worker and has the biggest dreams. I love watching her change and be successful in all she does. She is the best dog mom in the world too. Madison and I are so much alike that we get mistaken for each other at times. I love her dearly and can't wait to celebrate with her on my big day! 

Madison

Kristyn is a go-getter, and the woman to call to organize or head an event. She takes charge and gets things done. One of her greatest qualities is the love and support she has for her family. Kristyn is incredibly strong as well. She's had a lot of heath issues in the past two years, but continues to stay strong and pushes through all that life throws at her. We are happy that she'll be celebrating with us on our big day! 

Kristyn

Travis is a hard-worker and the best daddy to our niece Henley. He is Dustyn's little brother and best friend. He is kind hearted and willing to do anything you need. We are so happy to have him celebrate our wedding day with us. 

Trav

I've done things backwards, but I'm so happy to share our special day with our two special dudes. The boys will be holding our rings during the ceremony. They both have been waiting for this day to come and it's nearly here. 

Johncye & Gus

Laurel Kaye, is a character! She is one of the most entertaining kids I've ever met. She sings and dances. I'm so proud to call her our niece & have her share our special day with us. 

Laurel Kaye

Henley is full of spunk and brings such joy to everyone she's around. She is our youngest niece and will join Laurel down the aisle.

Wedding Party

My SPECIAL Mema would've loved to have attended my wedding. August 4th, will always be a sad day for me. She was my rock &amp; someone that truly understood me. As a kid, I'd run to her for everything. She'd listen to me cry, hug me when I was sad, cook for me when I was hungry and iron my clothes when they were terribly wrinkled. I miss walking into her house and opening the cupboards to a freshly made chocolate pie. I miss her smile and above all her laugh. It devastates me that I've waited so long to get married and that she will not be here. In memory of her Dustyn and I matched her original wedding band to one at the jewelers so that I can have a matching piece of her with me always. God only knows how much my heart hurts that you aren't here anymore.

Mema

My Ninny would've been the life of the party on my special day. She'd tell me,"I love you to the moon and back" as she signed on my birthday cards every year. As a kid, I learned to appreciate Tina Turner, because we'd blare it going down the road. She was the unconventional grandparent that you loved to hang out with. The one that you went on vacation with that let you get a little bit tipsy. I miss her craziness and love she had for her family, even though it was hard for her to show it. I will play some Gary Allen for you on that day. We love and miss you so much.

Ninny

My papa would've been the one to tell me how beautiful I was every time I saw him and truly mean it. He was so creative and funny. He was either giving my grandma hell or creating something new in his shop. Before he passed he made sure to make each of his grandkids a guitar. I hate that you never got to meet Gus and watch him grow up, because you'd have loved his crazy self. I miss walking into your house and seeing you in your rocking chair. I hope you'd be proud of my accomplishments and the family that I've created. I know that you'd be the first to have told me how beautiful I was on my special day.
