Our Wedding

The date was April 22nd, 2019 - the only Aggie Muster in a LONG time that hasn't been on 4/21 due to the way Easter fell that year. The "service" had just ended and there was a group of young alumni headed to the hotel bar - the Sheraton Downtown Fort Worth, and little did either of us know that we were about to meet someone that would change our life forever. At the time, Robert was the VP of Technology for the club and Emily, who had just moved to Fort Worth, came to the event with one of her friends from her sorority at A&amp;M, all three of whom were in this group of young alumni grabbing a night cap. Emily's friend was introducing her to people around the table and introduced her to Robert, with explanation that Robert was on the board and the VP Technology. Emily quickly chimed in "Hi I'm Emily, and I'm not getting my emails." Robert was kind and walked through the ways he could help remedy the issue, as to make a good first impression - he had already been wanting to meet Emily for sometime. After the interaction not going much further than a couple of slithery DMs, fast forward 7 months and the two found themselves at another FWAMC event, this time volunteering for Habitat for Humanity. Fate would have it that they were split into nearby small groups to start their tasks for the day and after a few boards measured once and cut twice (and some pretty witty instagram captions) and Cupid started to don his bow and quiver. So much so, after a couple of beers and LSU tears (from an Alabama loss) the arrow had hit and the match lit the fuse - especially after Emily saw some instagram pictures of Robert's Weimaraner Avery - a dog breed Emily had always dreamt of owning. A few weeks later they went on their first date, following the A&amp;M/LSU game, to a Mike Ryan concert at Billy Bobs. A few weeks after that they made things official after the Fort Worth A&amp;M Board Christmas Party. Three years later the anticipation of an engagement was felt by all. December was a busy month for Emily and Robert as it was their 3rd anniversary, a family cruise, and Christmas. An early anniversary dinner at Grace ended with milk and cookies and the final day at sea ended with an impromptu manicure that sent Emily into a tizzy. Christmas also came and went with the gift of a hot dog ornament. On December 28th, Robert came home and told Emily he had made plans for them the next day involving two things she wanted to do; Lightscape at the Botanical Gardens and see the Bloxom girls. All day on Thursday, the 29th, Emily had an inkling of a feeling that today could be the day, but once they got to the Lightscape and had a festive cocktail Emily was completely distracted by Myer and the lights. Once we got up to the "Cathedral", Emily took a picture of the Bloxom family at the entrance. We all casually walked through and once we got towards the end Robert pulled Emily aside. Robert started talking about his goals for the year and that he had one more to mark off before the New Year. Emily immediately began to cry and that's when Robert got down on one knee! Aright Pics by Abby was there to capture the moment, along with the Bloxoms, and the strangers who were enjoying their walk through the gardens. After all the tears were wiped and many congratulations, Harrison suggested we go get a celebratory drink at Hotel Dryce. To Emily's absolute shock, all their friends and family were all waiting there to congratulate them! It was the absolute best day ever!

Our Story

Bridal Party

Kelcie and Emily have known each other since elementary school but became best friends when they moved down the street from each other in 5th/6th grade. They made a pact in middle school that one day we would be each other's maid of honor and here we are! Their many adventures include church mission trips, a trip to Liverpool, summers at the overlook, stealing a traffic cone so they could save each other parking spots at school, Emily always driving everywhere, and reading the entire Clique series. Kelcie is Emily's shade tree and Emily is Kelcie's sunny day! 

Kelcie Nesbitt

Brooke is Emily's little sister and they've known each other as long as Brooke has been alive. Although they are complete opposites they sometimes get along. From week long games of Barbies, to traveling the world, to never being allowed to play monopoly again they've always had each other's back. They never travel without their Big Sis/Lil Sis shirts, Emily always calls to make sure Brooke doesn't forget it. Emily is grateful to have Brooke stand up there with her on her big day!

Brooke Thome

Jacqueline and Emily met freshman year of college at A&M through Kappa Delta. Emily remembers getting a very specific text from an unknown number and it happened to be Jacqueline. Many Bucees hot dogs, road trips to Florida, Aggie football games with D-2, Cody Johnson concerts, and "Closer" by the Chainsmokers have gotten us through the last 10 years. Jacq is the best at validating your feelings, is always a judgement free zone, and is most encouraging person! 

Jacqueline Hogg

Curly-hair Christy and Emily met on the ride home from Kappa Delta bid day, they both lived at the Trad Pad. They solidified their best-friendship 3 weeks into freshman year when they shared a twin sized air mattress at New Member Retreat. Little did they know 3 years later they would share a room senior year at the Oney Hervey house. Christy is the life of the party and Emily is so glad to have her home in Texas! 

Christy Beauchemin

Emily met her Big, Emily Ambriz, on the 2nd day of recruitment at the Kappa Delta house when she was picked up by her at the door. Emily specifically remembers rounding the corner under the stairs and thinking, "she's going to be my big" and six weeks later that happened. The pair is affectionally known as Emily Squared, Big Em and Little Em, or Smith and Thome. Big was Emily's first friend in KD and became the big sister she always wanted! 

Emily Ambriz

Emily's sophomore year of college she got the most perfect Little, Emily Rogers, whom she found on facebook during the summer of 2014 before recruitment started. They never met during recruitment but Emily rigged the system so she could drive Emily home to her dorm after KD Bid Day, soon after they became Emily Cubed. Today they both call Fort Worth/Granbury home are so thankful that Cale and Robert get along as well as the Emilys do!  

Emily Rogers

Savannah and Emily were in the same pledge class in Kappa Delta and met their Freshman(Emily) and Sophomore(Savannah) year. We spent many nights at Nan's apartment studying, crafting, and eating home-cooked meals. Savannah has always been the responsible one in our friend group and put up with a lot of our shenanigans, many I wish to never speak of again. She's the most thoughtful and selfless person! She also just got married in March! 

Savannah Russett

Ashlyn and Emily met their Sophomore(Ashlyn) and Freshman(Emily) through Kappa Delta. Can't pinpoint the exact moment they became friends but they would probably both say the Delt Bonfire was a turning point. Emily affectionally refers to Ashlyn as Shlyn, or Shlyn Shlyn. Shlyn is the ultimate hype woman and will always go to bat for you. "I love you, I love Miles" - Emily 

Ashlyn Lane

Rosalie is the daughter of Caroline and Austin and is Robert and Emily's littlest bestie. Caroline and Robert met in college at A&M and in late 2020 the Bauers moved from Virginia to Fort Worth, and that's when they met Rosalie. The 5 of them have spent lots of time together at local breweries and hanging out at the pool! 

Rosalie Bauer

Myer is the daughter of Harrison and Catelyn, and Robert and Emily got to meet her when she was just 2 weeks old. Myer was part of the scheme that lead to Robert and Emily's engagement, and she did a great job at keeping Emily distracted. If you look closely at the proposal pictures you can see her in the background!

Groom’s Party

Robert and Ryan were born four days a part  just a couple miles down the road from each other, but they didn’t meet until 18 years later at Texas A&M. They shared class together freshman year and a few days into the semester begin their friendship after discovering some of Robert’s high school friends lived across the sidewalk from Ryan at their apartment complex.  They quickly bonded and would soon spend the rest of their college days as roommates. From nights at Carney’s to ski trips to raising their first dogs together, Ryan is the brother Robert never had. 

Ryan Holliday 

Robert and Harrison met senior year of high school through mutual friends and after a hurricane displaced Harrison from Texas A&M -  Galveston to College Station they picked up right where they left off. From the adventures of SigEp pledgeship to starting professional careers back home in Fort Worth, Harrison is always a go-to for deep conversations, a good drink, and music. Harrison and Robert are always ready to harness the energy of the Earth and ride the world together.

Harrison Bloxom

Robert met Jackson through Ryan. As childhood friends in San Antonio, it was only natural that Jackson took a bedroom in the house after he transferred from Ole Miss - the Dove Hollow duo turned into a trio. Through days at Lake Bryan, fantasy football leagues and golf, Jackson has always been a great friend and (maybe) Avery’s favorite uncle 

Jackson Pierce

Juicy J! Jerod is the type friend who always brings a high level of positivity and optimism to every situation. Robert met Jerod through his lovely fiancée Autumn, a fellow co-worker for Ivins management. Over the years, their common love of music, Aggie football (especially tailgates), and a good Sunday morning brunch, it’s easy to see why their friendship would be so steadfast throughout the years. 

Jerod Justice

Robert met Dan shortly after moving back to Fort Worth from College Station in 2017. They quickly became friends and could most often be found playing disc golf together at courses across DFW.  Dan is one of those friends with whom you can have a conversation with about anything and is a true friend for life. 

Dan Hurshel

As the brother Emily never had, one would guess it wouldn’t take long for Robert and Andrew to meet after they started dating. From bonding over bourbon to holiday trips to Wichita to visit family, Robert’s happy to gain a new “cousin” but also to have him as a friend. 

Andrew Breault

Robert and Kyle met as coworkers at BJ’s Brewhouse in College Station. Their friendship was quickly strengthened as they traveled the country together opening up new locations of the restaurant chain. Although separated by distance, they keep in touch by phone talking about all of the adventures life has throw their way. 

Kyle Carter

Robert met Devin as coworkers through Ivins Management in Bryan/College Station. From days at the lake to early mornings at Carney’s, Robert and Devin have always shared a similar sense of humor and a love for craft beer. Devin is a friend who will drop what they are doing to lend a helping hand and will always put others interests ahead of his own. 

Devin Michelotti

Jackson is Robert’s first “nephew” and son of Ryan and Mary Catherine. Fun Fact: Along with Jackson’s grandpa, the groom may or may not be the inspiration behind Jackson’s legal first name
