Our Wedding

November 2021 Shane visited his Groomsman, Brock, in VA who was in the military. By happenstance they both ended up going to Cancun Cantina on the same night. From a distance Jessica’s Matron of Honor, Pam, jokingly pointed out ‘the guy with the mullet’. Turned out Jessica actually digged the mullet. Shane came over, they chatted and the rest is history!

Wedding Party

Shane and Jessica have the opportunity to name a horse race that will be running on the day of their wedding. They thought it would be fitting to name the race after Jessicas father who passed away in 2013. Her father frequented this race track for many years and enjoyed the betting of the races. He was very lucky with his bets. One time he won the double triple with a jackpot of $250,000 but there were 10 winners so they had to split it. $25,000 wasnt too bad!! If youre feeling lucky you can stop at the betting window before the reception starts! Once the race is over, Shane and Jessica will be taken down to the winners circle for a photo op with the winning horse and jockey. The race is number 7 and is going off at 3:30pm! Make sure you place your bets!!
