Our Wedding

Once upon a time in Huntsville, Texas.Thanks to Sam Houston State University (Go Kats!), and thanks to Jesus Christ(Amen), Karlie and Reece met in December of 2022 at Elkins Lake Country Club. Reece had already been working at the golf course, but Karlie had just started. In her interview, she remembers the boss saying explicitly, "You'll get to know Reece, and y'all will get along great". Their first shift together was a minor introduction. They said "Hi", and Karlie went to work outside, while Reece stayed in the AC doing...I'm not sure. Reece's first impression: "You had a good smile"Karlie's first impression: "Goodness he's tall" At the time, they were both seeing other people...YIKES!!!A week after working together at the golf course, Jesus quickly made Karlie and Reece both single. Literally, a week after working together, like thanks, God!!! You ain't waste no time. While Reece and Karlie bonded over how they "weren't the problem" in their past relationships, they realized how much they had in common, including his little sister, Reghan. Reece introduced Karlie to Reghan, and after that the girls were inseparable. Now, everyone knows about the "dating your best friend's brother" storyline, but it was all in a respectful way...okay?! Reghan told Karlie that she knew the two loved each other before the two knew they loved each other, and that if any of her friends were to do it, she would want it to be her. So yes, this marriage is Reghan-approved. As the work shifts continued, the friendship grew outside of work. Eventually, the two became girlfriend and boyfriend and knew it was the "end game" right off the bat. They bonded over religion, Texas football (hook em'), golf, dancing, and watching podcasts talking about how sad this generation has become. I mean, come on, these are the best things to build a foundation on. In all honestly, this helped spark conversations they never thought were possible. Jesus played the biggest role in building them, shaping them, and strengthening them. After they both graduated from SHSU, they moved home. Karlie began pursuing her career in Crosby, and Reece started pursuing his in Sealy, Texas. The distance wasn't major, but for these love birds an hour away is an hour too far.After growing independently, the two's relationship developed stronger than ever. They now reside in Tomball, Texas. Karlie is a High School Dance Director, and Reece is a dispatcher for railroad construction. Their favorite things to do together are talking about deep topics, talking about Jesus, going country line dancing, watching sports, golfing, and being in each other's company.They can't wait to get married, and to become a covenant with God. The future has so much in store, and Reece and Karlie are eager to share it with all of you!!
