Our Wedding

Brayden and I initially met during our first semester of college through mutual friends. Honestly, this was the definition of, "right person, wrong time." I wasn't looking for a relationship at the time and pretty much blew him off (sorry Bray) and we went on with our lives. A few months went by and we somehow both found ourselves at good ol' Bar C (if you know, you know) one night. Brayden approached me while I was talking to a friend, we talked a little bit and then went our separate ways. A few weeks and a Tinder match later... we've been together ever since.On March 5th 2021, a few weeks shy of our three year anniversary, Brayden FINALLY (some may say I was not so patiently waiting on that hehe) proposed. It was such a special day surrounded by some of our family and friends. The last three years have been filled with lots of laughter, love, and growth. Here's to the start of our forever.- Em

Our Story

My forever girl and soul sister. I guess you could say she's also my built in therapist.. hehe. We're definitely two of a kind. G and I met when I was in high school through social media. She hasn't been in my life forever, but it sure feels like it! I'm so grateful and blessed to have her by my side. 

Gracie Carr

My life long bestie, seriously! Kels and I have always been able to pick up right where we left off no matter how long it’s been.   She's always my been biggest fan and supporter. I couldn't imagine not having her by my side for my big day. 

Kelsey Hancock

Laura is my cousin and built in bestie. I'll forever cherish our summers spent traveling and all of the concerts we've been to together. We have so many fun memories together. She is such a joy to be around && is the best teacher!

Laura Jane Ladner 

Sky is Brayden’s high school best friend, until he introduced us and I stole her from him, ha! She's my former roomie and someone that's always willing to come save me from being the only girl whenever I get suckered into hanging out with the guys. A fellow TSU grad!

Skyler Pustka

Natalie is my former coworker turned best friend and go-to-gal. She loves Dolly, shopping, and coffee just as much as I do, if not more. She's got the biggest heart and I'm so blessed and grateful for our friendship. A fellow TSU grad and the BEST nurse!

Natalie Smith

Ty is another former coworker turned bestie. I can always count on her to be in my corner no matter what. She's so fun and so, so  beautiful! To know her is to love her, she's a true gem! My pookie girl.  A soon-to-be TSU grad!

Tyler Barabas 

Christian is my brother and currently attends Tarleton State University. We've gotten into plenty of trouble over the years, just ask our parents... or maybe don't ask them. He had some sick dance moves when we were younger, maybe he'll bust 'em at the wedding. 

Christian Rodgers

Layne is like a brother, just not by blood. The only person that likes college football as much as I do. Horns down, and Gig' Em.

Layne Verhelst

Another person I can say is like a brother to me. I can always count on him to liven up any conversation. Long live 400 Morgan Mill Rd. 

Ross Nelson 

Justin is my  former roommate and the worst bulldozer operator you'll ever meet. Another person that's like a brother to me. A fellow TSU grad. 

Justin Griffin

Hayden is one of the worst golfers I've ever met. He's like another brother to me and takes Taco Bell pretty serious. He's also a Purple Poo and TSU alum. 

Hayden Parker

My future brother-in-law. I don't think I've met anyone that works harder than this guy. I see where his sister gets her driving from now. 

Tage Cunningham

Friend to both Em and I. We both knew Hunter was the right person for this job and who we'd want to marry us. He might be the shortest officiant of all time. A soon-to-be Tarleton alum!

Hunter Francis

1/3 of the Beas-Babies. Sydni Ann is going to be the BEST flower girl! This little princess has been waiting very patiently for this BIG job! 

Sydni Beasley 

2/3 of the Beas-Babies. Bo Keith is as sweet as pie. He'll sweep you off your feet, I promise!

Bo Beasley 

Witten Ryan completes the Beas-Babies. He's the cutest and sweetest little stinker you'll ever meet!
