Wishing you love and good health,









Ellen and Henri

We first laid eyes on each other in the downtown pool hall, Cats Billiards, in San Marcos ,Texas. What began as weekly pool lessons soon turned into a friendship, a pool-playing partnership, and a loving relationship. Although our love began over a game, we very quickly realized we had a bond that would last a lifetime.

It all started in a pool hall

The year 2020 brought many&nbsp;unexpected changes into our lives. Although our big celebration had to be postponed, we still wanted to officially commemorate our love... on October 31, 2020 we were married in a small outdoor ceremony at the San Jacinto Monument in La Porte,&nbsp;Texas.

Our Marriage

Since that time we have moved into a brand new home and welcomed our sweet baby girl, Allison, into this world! So many changes to celebrate with you all!
