Our Wedding

During&nbsp;a night of celebrating this great country of ours with a group of mutual friends with great food, drinks, and games, Jess and Colton met...Colton was intrigued, to say the least...so he started to ask several friends about her.

July 4, 2017 - Who's that Girl?

After several months of "what if's" from friends, jibber jabber about the possibility of the two dating, and the build up&nbsp;of "how great of a guy Colton is" to Jess and "how sweet and picky of a girl&nbsp;Jess is" to Colton...sparks flew at Ford and Julie's wedding. &nbsp;Colton and Jess were both in the wedding party and had been officially setup that night. &nbsp;After one heck of a wedding, Colton told Jess that he was going to call her to ask her out on a date, so he did...

October 21, 2017 - The Setup

Jess denied Colton's call to ask her out...sent him a text saying she was on the phone with a friend...but in reality, she was not. &nbsp;She nervously called a friend asking what she should do, while Colton anxiously sat awaiting her response. &nbsp;Lucky for him, she agreed to a date.

October 22, 2017 - The Call

Jess and Colton's first date was filled with pizza, ice cream, lots of conversation and laughs, which&nbsp;ultimately led to the two getting kicked out of Braum's for staying two hours past closing time, much like the movie Lady and The Tramp. &nbsp;Colton dropped Jess off at home after the date, and the two hoped that it wouldn't be their last.

October 25, 2017 - The Date

After a lot of dates and OU&nbsp;football,&nbsp;Colton planned a quick day trip to Fort Worth, TX, which started out with a warm thermos of hot chocolate (Jess didn't drink any because she didn't want to make Colton stop for bathroom breaks)...and the hot chocolate sat in the back of the seat for months, and eventually molded. &nbsp;Anyways...Colton was ready to ask Jess to be his girlfriend. &nbsp;After a day of walking around the Fort Worth Stockyards and looking at Christmas lights at Enchant, Colton asked Jess to be his girlfriend. &nbsp;She said yes! &nbsp;Lucky for Colton, because that would have been a long three hour drive back to OKC.&nbsp;

December 9, 2017 - "I got a brand new girlfriend" - Steve Holy

8 months after their first date, Colton was ready to propose. &nbsp;Colton had known that Jess was the one for quite some time, and she knew the same. &nbsp;After several months of waiting, keeping secrets from Jess, and planning, Colton had planned the perfect proposal. &nbsp;Although it rained the whole day of the proposal, there was a small gap in the weather at the exact time the proposal was planned to take place. &nbsp;Colton drove her out to Quail Creek Golf Course where there was supposed to be a golf cart waiting for us...there was not. &nbsp;The goofball golf course worker brought them the golf cart and completely spilled the beans right in front of Jess. &nbsp;Colton ignored him and kept pushing on acting like nothing happened. &nbsp;They arrived at the spot where Colton proposed, Jess said YES, and then drove the golf cart to Colton's aunt and uncle's house where all of their friends and family were waiting for them...they proceeded to party the night away.
