Reception

Our Wedding

We first met on August 11, 2014 on audition day at the University of Central Oklahoma. I thought he was a complete dork and absolutely hilarious. He had just started school and I had been there for a year so far. Our mutual friend, Dresan, introduced us and we instantly hit it off. After the first day we met, we talked on and off through ensembles and then one day I get a facebook message asking me about this research job that we both ironically had together on campus. He asked me a bunch of questions that apparently he already knew the answer to and then we started talking and had a deeper conversation about life. We exchanged numbers and we have been talking ever since. We didn't have a definite date on when we "officially" started dating so we decided on September 10, 2014... I still had a broken heart from my relationship before him. I had an extremely low self esteem and didn't think I deserved an amazing person. He mended my broken heart and he makes sure to tell me that I am beautiful EVERY SINGLE DAY. He is everything that I could have ever imagined and more... I smile just thinking about him. On December 14, 2016 he asked me to marry him. It was a very cold night and after I just had a jury and a bunch of finals. We had decided to go see the Christmas lights in Broken Arrow. We walked around through the lights for about an hour and as we were about to leave he asked me by one of my favorite spots. It was simple and beautiful. My favorite day.

Holiday Inn Express McAlester

If traveling from the OKC area: 1. Head East on I-40. 2. Take the exit for the Indian Nations Turnpike South toward Dallas. 3. Continue South and exit at US-270 East towards McAlester. 4. Turn left (North) on Main Street. 5. Continue North - Main Street becomes OK-113 outside of town. 6. Turn left when prompted by the road sign to continue on OK-113 North towards Canadian and Indianola. 7. Turn right (East) onto Shady Grove Road. The Baptist Church will be immediately to your right on the South side of the street - this will be the parking area. If traveling from the Tulsa area,here are two options I usually use.Option A: 1. Get on US-75 South toward Okmulgee, etc. 2. Pass through Okmulgee and continue South onto the Indian Nations Turnpike in Henryetta. 3. Continue South and exit at US-270 East towards McAlester. 4. Turn left (North) on Main Street. 5. Continue North - Main Street becomes OK-113 outside of town. 6. Turn left when prompted by the road sign to continue on OK-113 North towards Canadian and Indianola. 7. Turn right (East) onto Shady Grove Road. The Baptist Church will be immediately to your right on the South side of the street - this will be the parking area.Option B:1. Get on US-64/OK-51 East and continue on 351/Muskogee Turnpike. 2. Exit onto US-69 South towards Muskogee. 3. Pass through Muskogee, Chectoah/I-40, Eufaula, etc. 4. Continue into McAlester City Limits. 5. Take exit for Electric Ave. and turn right (West) onto Electric Ave. 6. Go for a bit and turn right (North) onto Main Street. 7. Continue on Main Street - it becomes OK-113 outside of town. 8. Turn left (North) when prompted by the road sign onto OK-113 North towards Canadian and Indianola. 9. Turn right (East) onto Shady Grove Road. The Baptist Church will be immediately to your right on the South side of the street - this will be the parking area. Both of these options for Tulsa area guests have basically the same ETA from downtown. When I would travel from Bartlesville, both options got me there in pretty much the same amount of time. The one difference is tolls - Muskogee Turnpike is about 50 cents more than Indian Nations Turnpike. If you are coming from somewhere else and would like a suggested route, and you know this before the wedding day, please call me (Josh): (918) 332-0851.If you get lost or confused in transit on the wedding day, please call Tony Skinner (Faith's dad): (918) 302-8990.Thank you!
