Our Wedding

How do two people who grew up in the same small town finally find each other? Short story? A mutual friend set us up. Long story? July 12, 2019 Nikki makes a happy 30th birthday post for Dean, but also blasting about how he's "single and ready to mingle." The post made me (Katie) cringe out of embarassment for him. I commented on the post, Nikki messages me playing cupid, Dean calls to ask me to dinner and I agree. We had our first date on July 20, 2019 at Mellow Mushroom in Baton Rouge followed by Marble Slab ice cream. Basically, the most Dean Moss date ever...pizza and ice cream. I knew when I left him that night that he was "the one." The rest is history. We made our relationship "official" on August 10, 2019. He FINALLY asked me to marry him on December 5, 2020. I'm still not sure he actually got the words out to ask me, but I knew what he meant!

Things to Do

Danielle & I have been friends since the 5th grade...that's a whopping 23 years! I've always described Danielle as my "sweetest friend" because she has the sweetest disposition about her. There hasn't been a major life event (after the age of 10) that we haven't experienced together. I credit myself for her and Matt finally dating and eventually getting married. We've experienced the highs and lows of life together and I can't imagine anyone else standing beside me on the biggest day of my life!

If you know me, you know Berkleigh. This child stole my heart the minute I saw her. She is and will always be my first baby. She's the one who made me an aunt and changed our entire family dynamic. I love her so. 

Berkleigh 

Our miracle girl niece who is the sweetest, cutest, most cuddliest little thing. This girl is always on the go and into things, but we wouldn't trade her for anything!

Nikki is responsible for us meeting. The night we became official she expressed her desire to be flower girl. How could we not grant her wish? It's the least we can do! 

Nikki Lavergne 

Jack is Danielle’s sweet miracle boy that we love so much. We have high expectations of him mean mugging everyone coming down the aisle, but following through with the job.

Locke is the oldest of Travis and Nikki’s (flower woman) kids. They’re the closest thing Dean has to nephews and we love them so. Locke is always up for an adventure, extremely smart and is becoming quite the photographer! 

Locke Lavergne 

Knight is the youngest of Travis and Nikki’s boys. Much like his brother; he’s always up for an adventure! He is also a great little baseball player and has a smile that will melt your heart.

Kyle and Dean have been friends since they were 5 and in Boy Scouts together. They’ve seen each other through the ups, downs and stupid parts of life. Dean couldn’t imagine anyone else standing next to him on his wedding day.
