Happily Ever... After!

Our Wedding

For clarification, yes, I named my car Binx after my not so fortunate reputation with former vehicles. Like the cat in Hocus Pocus, he (the car) is not allowed to die. As far as we knew, the workplace was somewhere to do a job and make a living. Little did we know, we would find love too. Our first meeting was the day of my orientation. Troy had already been working at United Valve as the maintenance manager for a few years. I was the new girl up front. When I actually started work, he would come up to the front every now and again for casual conversation with anyone up front who would listen. I thought he was funny and goofy from the beginning. I knew I was too so we got along very easily. I found him fun to talk to. Fast forward a couple of months, Binx (my car) decided he didn't want to function properly. I ended up spending WAY too much money to only slightly get him fixed. At least enough to where I was able to return to work. The next day, I was complaining about the cost and Troy heard the conversation. Little did I know that he worked on cars too. So we made a plan and he got it done. Now, anyone who knows Troy, or has had Troy work on something for them, knows that he doesn't charge much for his time. Same went with me. I paid him what he asked but it didn't feel right so I thought I'd offer up a drink or two as well. He kindly took me up on the offer and we had a fun night playing darts, talking, and bonding. By the end of the night, I knew I was interested in him and that's when this rollercoaster really started. With our age gap, we were a bit apprehensive at first. As were our families and friends. After many discussions between the two of us, we realized none of that really mattered because of the feelings we shared for one another. Whatever road bump came our way, we would deal with it together. In the last two years, we have moved in together and adopted four beautiful and quirky animals - Rory first, Paris, our little Scooby boy, then lastly, Sookie. He has taught me the game of 8-Ball, 9-Ball, and 10-Ball and has gotten me super involved in the pool community as well as the church community. I was with him when his daughter, Brittany, had handsome little Jessie and he became a grandfather. He was by my side as I gained two beautiful nieces from my brother and sister and unexpectedly lost a loved one. We have been there for each other every day and have helped each other grow substantially. Even when the times got hard and we didn't see eye-to-eye, we worked together to move past the problem and chose to love each other anyway. Now the Proposal - We celebrated our two year anniversary two days early since we keep pretty busy and couldn't actually celebrate on the day of. We went to dinner at Perry &amp; Sons then took a small trip to the Gazebo in Friendswood's Stevenson Park. He knows my love for gazebos and we had one of our first dates there. It was there that he proposed and I said yes. It was quiet, intimate, and perfect in every way. I couldn't have asked for anything better. We look forward to starting this new journey together and are excited to have all guests play a part in our own little fairytale as well.

Our Story

Photos

I met Faith through Troy. She is someone you would describe as quirky and sweet. She's also one of those people that is always there to listen to what you have to say and is always willing to show up or lend a hand. Because she's been there with me and has supported Troy and I for the last two years, I have decided to have her as my maid of honor. I'll be happy to have her by my side as we navigate through the wedding planning and details.

Faith Beryl

Brittany is Troy's daughter as well as mother to handsome little Jessie. As if being a mom isn't hard enough work, she is also a teacher. She is strong, sweet, and a good person to have in your life all around. Her and I have gotten closer in the team Troy and I have been together. We look forward to her playing a part in our wedding as we exchange our vows.

Brittany Hipp

For those who have not had the pleasure of meeting Emma, you are missing out! I first met Emma two years ago when Troy and I started to see each other and I honestly thought she hated me! Or at least disliked me. I'm glad to have found out I was very wrong. Over the last two years, we have played on two billiards teams together and have grown significantly closer. I'd be honored to have her stand beside me on the day Troy and I say "I do."

Emma Grunden

Oh my Kenna! Kennedy is the sister of the bride who is roughly seven years younger and has been a major part of my life since the day she was born. I know I can go to her about anything and even if I'm in the wrong (which she will make it known if I am), she has my back. I'm glad to have a love like that with her and I couldn't imagine her not by my side on our wedding day. 

Kennedy Hall

If you don't know Halie, you're missing out. Not only is she one of the sweetest people I've ever met but she's also super friendly and funny. She knows how to liven up any room she enters! She's a great person to be around and an even greater friend. She's stood by me for at least four years, I'm excited to have her stand by me on our big day as well!

Halie McKeithen

With 20 years between us, my love for Henslee is so strong. She is my peanut. Forever and always no matter how old she is. She is so spirited and funny. Smart as a whip too! The amount of sass she possesses in such a tiny body should be impossible! I know she will look so darn cute throwing out little petals along the aisle. 

Henslee Green

If we had to pick one word to describe Elijah, it would be quirky. You never know what he is going to say or do! He is a delight to have around and can always provide a good laugh when needed. He is very trustworthy and loyal. These characteristics made him the obvious choice to have him stand as Best Man in the wedding.

Elijah Wiltshire

Gabe came into our lives in the April of 2023 when he was introduced to us as Brittney's boyfriend. Gabe and Troy quickly bonded over their love of cars/trucks. We have welcomed him into the family with open arms. Since we have known him, he proposed to Brittany and brought Jessie into the world! He has brought plenty of light and laughter into our lives.

Gabe Espinoza

Jason is Troy's brother-in-law. He is married to Troy's sister Roxanne and they brought Elijah, Yara, and Allister into the family.  Jason has a kind and light-hearted soul. He will discuss just about any topic with you and he is a musical genius! He spends his free time playing in a band at local and not-so-local venues. We are thrilled to have him in our lives.

Jason Wiltshire

Allister (AJ) is quiet when you first meet him. Then he stays quiet. He's not a boy of many words but when he does have something to say, it sure is heard! He is the youngest of his siblings and a phenomenal nephew to Troy. He likes to spend his time playing video games, hanging out with friends or family, and enjoys music as well!

Allister Wiltshire (AJ)

You never know what kind of nonsense is going to come from A-Aron's mouth. It may be a witty or dark joke. Maybe he's going to allude to a song, movie, or show. Or maybe, just maybe it will be about football, baseball, or pool. Either way, he is fun and spirited and brings great energy to any event. Emma is a lucky woman to have him by her side just as we are lucky to have him standing beside us on this important day.

A-Aron Sandoval

Little Jessie was brought into our lives in January of 2024 by his parents Brittany and Gabe. By the time the wedding arrives, he will be nearing the age of two. He already has so much personality in his tiny little body and we can't wait to see how he uses it as our ring bearer on our big day. Either way, we know he will look oh-so-handsome!
