Our Wedding

Who would have thought a Southern Bell and the Bright Lights of the City would end up with an unforgettable love... It was a warm, spring night when James walked Iris to the college bus stop after a long study session at the Bird Library. While these study sessions were no surprise, Iris questioned why James was escorting her. As she entered the bus, he quickly said, "I like you!" In shock at the moment, the bus doors subsequently closed and she went away. It was not until the next day, she asked James to meet her at the Hall of Languages building and would verify if he meant what he said. Without hesitation, he meant it. Though scared to open her heart she bravely said, "I like you too." From then on and for 10 plus years, James and Iris committed to through the ups and downs, valley's and trough's, together in love, endless laughter, and supporting each other's dreams... On May 14, 2022 James decided... Near the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge, to propose. And without hesitation, Iris said yes! Now in a momentous day in Houston, Texas, we invite and welcome you to our #OGLove Wedding Day

When NY  meets TX....
