Our Wedding

We first met back in high school, but it wasn’t until the year Dakota graduated that our paths truly crossed. It all started when Dakota sent Kristal a message saying that she reminded him of a ray of sunshine — and from that moment, their conversations grew into something deeper.Their relationship blossomed quickly. From their first memorable date under twinkling Christmas lights to a spontaneous road trip to the beaches of Florida, Dakota and Kristal have loved making memories big and small. They’re happiest exploring new places together, enjoying rainy days with a cup of coffee, or simply sitting side by side doing nothing at all. Over time, they’ve grown and shaped each other — sharing interests, discovering new passions, and learning from one another.When it came time to propose, Dakota had always promised to wait until after Kristal graduated from college — but he couldn’t resist surprising her during her last spring break. With help from friends, the original plan changed at the last minute, and in front of a beautiful waterfall in Houston, he nervously asked the big question. Despite the nerves (and forgetting to slip on the ring right away!), it was perfect — Kristal was completely caught off guard and said yes.Now, as they prepare for this next chapter, Dakota and Kristal are so excited to continue growing together, traveling, and discovering everything life has to offer as husband and wife.

Erin and I have been friends since the fourth grade. I am lucky to have grown up with her and even luckier to have her right next to my side on this very special day.

Ethan and I have been best friends since we were 14. We practically grew up together. We spent countless days and nights with each other and now he has honored me by standing by my side on my wedding day.

Meeting Xiann through Ethan has gifted me one of my best, life-long friends. I am grateful to have been a part of their wedding, and now I am looking forward to having her as part of ours!

Xiann D

You know how your parents always warned you about meeting strangers online? Well, that's exactly how I met Hat. Now he's one of my best friends and I'm lucky to have him alongside me!

Emily is by far the funniest person I know. She lights up any room she walks into and has changed my life for the better since I have met her. I know she will help make this truly an unforgettable day!

I've known Casey since I was in middle school. He was one of the first friends I made when I moved to the area. He has always made it a priority to reach out to and check on me now that we're grown. I'm super lucky to have a friend like him!

Karline is the best little sister I could ever ask for, even considering she's given me two black eyes. She has been by my side through every phase of my life, so I am ecstatic that she will be standing next to me at the alter.

Karline Y

My little brother. We didn't really like each other when we were kids but we figured it out later on, now I couldn't imagine life without him. Shoutout to when he was supposed to be my little sister but came out a boy... I never saw a difference :D

Joseph and I met as coworkers. Through similar interests we became friends. He never fails to befriend whoever he talks to. I was lucky to have been a part of his wedding and now I'm lucky to have him here for mine!

Alexis is the craziest (in a good way), most outgoing and fun person on the face of this planet. She has been right next to me since the sixth grade and I can't image ever not having her around. Cheers to having my sister from another mister through this next stage of my life!

Alexis W

Although Calvin is technically my uncle, he has always been more of a big brother to me. He has always looked out for me, given me advice, and made sure I lived life to the fullest. I'm super grateful to have Calvin at my side everyday and on my wedding day!

Calvin L

Though neither of us really remember how we became friends, I am incredibly lucky to have Sharon in my life. She has always been one of my biggest supporters and cheerleaders, encouraging me through everything I've done. My wedding day would not be complete without her by my side!

Sharon P

I've been friends with Tristen since middle school. I remember getting assigned to yard work every time I went over to his house. Even so, I'll always cherish those memories. He's always been one of my best friends and I'm excited to have him with me on my special day!
