Reception

We are so excited to celebrate our marriage with all of you!!!

Our Wedding

Our story started by growing up a few streets over from each other in Cypress and attending elementary and middle school together... but we didnt become friends until the summer of 2020. We both grew up going to T Bar M as campers and went on to be apart of staff as work crew, coaches, leadership, and a year long discipleship program called Timothy Team. God was writing our story long before we knew each other through how he used T Bar M in both of our lives to solidify our foundation of the gospel for multiple years before He brought us together. While working on the same leadership team in Summer 2021, Ray started to get what we call a camp crush but the Lord had other plans for him to practice his patience. When we both became full time staff at T Bar M after the summer, Grace started to have a case of the good ole camp crush and we started pursuing each other shortly after. Our first date was October 23, 2021 and we became official on November 1. Through our time dating, God taught us a ton about what it looks like to selflessly love the other person like Christ and what it looks like to pursue each other and our community around us in different seasons of life. In the Lord’s kindness, we got engaged on September 25, 2022 and it was the happiest day of our lives thus far. We truly would not be here without all the people in our corner who walked through dating with us and who continue to encourage us throughout engagement. We love you all dearly and we are so excited to celebrate with yall!!!

Our Story

Our relationship in pictures 

Mak and I met our freshmen year in Kappa Delta and got to become close friends when we lived in the KD house our sophomore year. We spent countless hours making numerous trips to waffle house, going to concerts, and pulling pranks on people. We got to live together junior and senior year of college at the Ridge while also starting the yearly tradition of traveling to Colorado every year and attending our favorite concert venue.... Red Rocks. Makenna is a constant, intentional, silly friend who always points me to Jesus and I'm so grateful to have her as my current roommate and my maid of honor!!!

Makenna Downs

Lauren has known me for my whole life and I'm so thankful and grateful that she's my sister! I had the privilege of being her Maid of Honor when I was 16 (can't believe she trusted me) in her wedding and I'm so excited to now have her stand by my side. I look up to her so much and have always admired her love for Jesus and her immense love for the people around her. She is also the best mom ever to my two nephews and I hope to be half the mom that she is!!!

Lauren Gobert 

Rebecca is the best sister in law and I had the privilege of getting to stand by her on her wedding day and make a covenant to love my big brother and I’m so grateful I get to witness her get to love him and love their daughter with such grace. It has been a huge blessing in my life to get to see how God has worked in their marriage and how he will continue to work. Rebecca is caring, gentle and so intentional and I’m so thankful to get to call her my sister and have her stand next to me!!! 

Rebecca Miller

Maddie May and I have been through so much together over the past few years. We started our own business in HS and got to be dance officers together along with having the privilege of going to A&M together where we were able to grow our friendship even more. Maddie is always down for literally ANYTHING and brings so much silliness into our friendship but is also immensely generous and caring. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to currently live with her and get to do life together.

Kelly Jane has literally seen me at my best and worst!!! We became good friends our sophomore year of college when we took a road trip barely knowing each other to San Antonio and from then on I knew she was a one of a kind friend!! Kelly is intentional, wise, hilarious and I'm honored to have her stand by my side. My favorite memory with Kelly is working in the kitchen with her at T Bar M camps and prepping for taco day on Fridays... IYKYK

Kelly Pflum

I’ve known Lindsey for as long as I can remember from elementary, middle, and high school. We got the opportunity to be on drill team together and become good friends through that but we truly didn’t become super close until college. Lindsey does an incredible job at inviting people in and I was able to become friends with so many of my close friends through Lindsey being an inclusive person. Lindsey is silly, wise, always wanting to learn new things and is all around an incredible friend. Anytime we get the chance to hangout I know it’s going to be very natural and fun just because of the nature of her personality. I’m so grateful to have her stand by my side and celebrate with me!!!

Lindsey Jones

I’m so grateful for who Hannah is in my life!!! We became close in the middle of college after going on a trip to Nashville. That trip truly was a pivotal time for our friendship and I know I can always depend on Hannah to have a deep, intentional conversation with me because that’s how she loves her people so well. I know I can always rely on Hannah to tell me the truth and always point me back to biblical truth while doing so and for that I’m so thankful. I’m so excited for her to stand by me!!! 

Hannah Daroowala 

Kylee and I had the opportunity to meet while doing Timothy Team together at T Bar M this past year and she was one of the greatest blessings to come out of that year!! I’m so grateful for her intentionality, wisdom and goofiness that she brings into my life. Some of my favorite memories are playing catan, disc golf, and her third wheeling with Ray and I!! Ray and I are both so grateful for Kylee’s friendship to us and I’m so glad she gets to celebrate with us. 

Kylee Rudder

I can confidently say Pilar was my first friend and I’m so grateful for the friend she was and still is after all these years. We became best friends when we were 5 and were inseparable. She is a friend I am so grateful for and someone who I know we can pick up our friendship right where we left off from the last time. She is confident, wise, very generous, and cares about the people she loves so well. I’m so thankful she gets to stand by my side and something we definitely dreamed of since we were kids!! 

Pilar Rovira 

Rachel is one of my longest friends and someone who I am so grateful for!! We truly have done so much life together and have seen each other in many different seasons of life. Rachel is a friend that’s always down for literally anything whether it was last minute shopping at the mall or going to a concert… she’s there. She is an incredible listener, silly, and someone I always looked to for advice. We have been through so much together and I’m so excited for her to stand by me and am grateful for the friend that she continues to be even while living in different cities.
