Our Wedding

We met in the summer of 2012 through mutual friends that Jessica went to college with and Brennan worked with. After a few times of meeting up with groups of friends Brennan made his move and we had our first official date. The rest as they say is history.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jessica & Brennan

Our Story

Details

Casey and Brennan worked together at one of their first jobs in Houston. They had fun chatting in the office and began meeting up outside of work to watch football and go out and became good friends.&nbsp;

Casey has been around&nbsp;for the entirety of Brennan and Jessica's relationship and has seen it all. We couldn't be happier to have him be a part of our special day.&nbsp;

Casey now lives&nbsp;in Colorado with his wife Ambri and their dog Brody.&nbsp;

Amanda is Jessica's older sister. Growing up she always let Jessica&nbsp;tag along and took time to play with her. As they got older and had both graduated college they became even closer and actually lived&nbsp;and&nbsp;worked together for a few years.&nbsp;&nbsp;They are now&nbsp;integral parts of each others lives and best friends.&nbsp;

Amanda lives in Clear Lake, a suburb of Houston,&nbsp;with her husband Ryan & their&nbsp;daughter Chloe.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

You won't have any trouble getting picked up within 5-10 mins of when you request a ride. You can download their app and request a ride from there&nbsp;or can book through&nbsp;m.uber.com on a computer.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Lyft like Uber is a ride sharing service. You can download their app and request a ride. Lyft is also readily available in Houston and you should not have to wait more than 5-10 mins after you have requested your ride.&nbsp;

Lyft

If you prefer a cab service over Uber or Lyft you can call or download the Yellow&nbsp;Cab app for a ride. Yellow Cab does usually have longer wait times for pick up so be sure to request your ride about 45 mins in advance.&nbsp;
