Our Story

Engagement Photos

Beth &amp; Ellen are cousins and besties! Beth always cherished the time the pair spent together in Michigan growing up, and they'd send letters to each other in between visits. Thankfully now cell phones keep them in constant contact. Beth was so happy when Ellen moved to Texas and considers Ellen a chosen sister who is always there for a good laugh (or cry). The two can be found watercoloring, listening to Taylor Swift, soaking up the Texas sun and traveling together with their best gals or their men :)

Ellen Rodriguez

Hannah & Beth met at work in 2016 and became close friends fast. At one point, they worked together and lived together (with Abigail!) and would even carpool to work. While some might think that's crazy, it really felt like the good old days that will be cherished forever. Although they no longer work together or live in the same city, the two keep in touch (75% through TikTok messages lol) and can be found dog-momming and getting together to catch up as much as possible. 

Hannah Brol

Beth & Marie met in 2016 when Marie hired Beth at Community Impact, and the two have been close friends ever since! Marie, Beth, Hannah and Abigail all worked together at one point in The Woodlands, and the "Coven" could be found working remotely in coffee shops by day and checking out new restaurants and bars by night. Now, Marie and Beth both live in Austin and still love to get together to yap over food and drinks (especially at Chili's). 

Marie Leonard

Alyssa & Beth met as freshmen in college in 2011 and bonded over having a shared taste in music and dropping out of sorority rush week halfway through. The two have been to so many concerts together, and with nearly 15 years of friendship under their belts the pair have been there for each other during lots of life's highs and lows. Whether they're on an adventure in one of their cities or binge-watching Schitt's Creek together, Alyssa & Beth will be best friends for life. 

Alyssa Wilmunen

Abigail & Beth also met at Community Impact in 2016 and became fast friends! Over the years they've shared many laugh-til-you-cry moments — these were especially frequent when they lived with Hannah and when Ellen moved in with them for a few months (we really should have had our own TV show). The two share a similar taste in music and have gotten to go to several concerts together, including Shakey Graves, Zac Brown Band and Michelle Branch, to name a few. The two live in different cities now but catch up whenever they can. 

Abigail Stanton

Natalie & Beth met freshman year of high school but really became close after ending up at the same college a few years later. They were roommates for three of four of Beth's college years and hosted many memorable parties, got each other through late-night study sessions and enjoyed exploring San Antonio together — all with plenty of laughter along the way. Notably, Natalie is also responsible for introducing Beth & Jared during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic (Everyone say, "Thank you, Natalie!")

Natalie Steiner

Emily is another cousin-turned-chosen-sister! Emily is Ellen's older sister, and, as kids, some of their fondest memories include making up dances and spending every Christmas together. As adults, they don't make up as many dances (sad face) but they've still spent almost every Christmas together and have some other fun travel adventures under their belts. Emily & Beth love a good Taco Bell run, watching true crime shows, and yapping about any and all topics. 

Emily Stimson

Jenny & Beth are soon-to-be sisters-in-law! Jenny is married to Jared's oldest brother, Grant, and has been a joy to get to know over the last 5 years. Jenny is a world traveler, so anytime Beth & Jenny get together there's always discussion about recent and upcoming travel. Whether they're in Austin or Dallas, the two can be found chatting about life updates while the boys play one of their trivia games, eating yummy food or watching a TV show they both love (hello, Love is Blind!) 

Jenny Xu

Penny is the goodest, bestest, silliest girl — to know her is to love her! She is who makes Beth & Jared DINKWADs (double income, no kids, with a dog). She's been with Beth since she was a puppy, and the two have survived hurricanes, heartbreaks and huge life changes together. When Penny first met Jared, she instantly loved him, and it's truly hard to tell who her favorite human is on any given day. She is such a sweet and patient girl who loves people and other dogs. Her walk down the aisle might be a bit chaotic, but it will definitely be cute.

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Hyatt Centric Congress Avenue. The hotel is 0.5 miles from the Allan House, where the wedding ceremony and reception will take place. It's about a 3-minute drive or 10-minute walk from the hotel to the venue. The block will be available from Jan. 1-4; however, you are not required to stay all three nights to get the group rate.
