Our Wedding

Trey’s Point of View

It was the summer before my senior year at Mississippi State in June 2019. My friends Hayden and Caleb had tickets to go to a Florida Georgia Line concert that was happening in just a couple of days! They asked me to go last minute and I was definitely in, but I had no clue at the time that I had made one of the best decisions of my life! It was June 15th, and we arrive at the concert in Southaven, MS. We had lawn tickets so we could just sit wherever we wanted, and it was a huge area! We happened to sit right next to this gorgeous blue eyed blonde hair girl that immediately caught my eye! We were sitting there waiting on FGL to come on stage and my friends were urging me to talk to her but it was taking me a while to build up the courage! Luckily I got a little help from her when all of a sudden she crushed a cup and it made a really loud noise that definitely got everyone’s attention! From there I was finally able to speak to her, and I immediately fell in love with her infectious smile and personality! I was so in awe of just being able to talk to this beautiful girl that I forgot to even ask her what her name was but right before FGL came out I asked her for her snapchat! All summer all I could think about was that girl I had met at the concert, and I told myself I wouldn’t waste any time asking her out once we got back to school in August! On the second day of school, fate revealed itself. We ran into each other on campus, and I asked her to go on a date with me on that Friday! I picked her up from her dorm that night and we went to Bulldog Burger and to see the Lion King at the theatre! It was the most perfect first date and she had me hooked from that first day! Since then we haven’t looked back and I’ve fallen in love with her over and over again every single day! Now here we are, and I get to marry the love of my life and share every concert and moment of my life with her!

Kristen's Point of View

It was June of 2019, and I had recently graduated from high school and was working as a camp counselor for the YMCA. My friend, Abbi, and I decided that we were going to get tickets to the Florida Georgia Line concert that was happening only a few days away in Southaven, MS. It was a spontaneous and last minute decision, but little did I know that it would end up being the best decision I've ever made! When we got to the concert on June 15th, Abbi and I headed towards the lawn area. In the lawn area, you can sit anywhere you'd like, and it is an enormous space you get to choose from. After we sat down in our spot, a group of guys sat right next to us. The guy that was sitting closest to me with the cutest black, curly hair had instantly caught my eye. I got so nervous being around him that I, for no reason at all, crushed my plastic cup and made the loudest sound in the whole amphitheatre. I felt so bad about how loud it was, but at least it gave this guy an opportunity to start a conversation with me. We ended up talking till the start of the concert, and before it started, he asked me for my snapchat (cheesy I know). I gave him my snapchat username, but he didn't talk to me for the whole summer. Even though we barely talked for the rest of the summer, I was still thinking about him all the time! About a month and half after that concert, I moved into my dorm at MSU. That day, I saw his name pop up on my phone, and boy did I get excited. That was when I also realized that it was his plan all along to wait until we were in Starkville together to talk to me again. We then started "snapchatting" each other for about a week, and then the craziest thing happened. On the second day of school, we ran into each other in the most chaotic part of campus during the busiest time of the day. At that point, we knew that this was a sign from God telling us that we needed to go on a date. That very next day, he took me on our first date to Bulldog Burger and then to the movies. The date went so perfect, and I knew he was something special. Now, that cute guy with the curly, black hair is my soon-to-be husband!

Our Story

Trey's Point of View

So for months before the proposal happened all Kristen could talk about was being engaged and how amazing it would be (she wasn’t wrong)! I got the ring at Disney Springs in December but I wanted to ask her on a special occasion no matter how cliche it is because I knew she would love it! So I chose to do it on Valentines weekend! Valentines day was on a Sunday but I knew if I was going to have as much surprise as possible that I should just do it on that Saturday the 13th. I also decided to ask her outside in front of Hurst Hall because that is where I picked her up for our first date, so it was very sentimental to me and Kristen! That day I woke up early in Flowood so my parents and I could start blowing up balloons for the balloon posts. We were scrambling getting everything for the proposal ready and packed into the car. Once we got to Starkville my parents went to Hurst and I went straight to the hotel I was staying in to check in! I told Kristen to come meet me there early in the afternoon because we were going on a date to Tupelo to eat instead of staying in Starkville! This way she would be dressed and ready early because I wanted to ask her before we went to eat anywhere! When she got there I told her that I had to go pick up her Valentines gift from a shop real quick and then I would come back to pick her up to go eat! So I leave and head to Hurst where my parents and the photographer had everything set up with the balloons and the “Will You Marry Me?” banner. Once I knew everything was set and I was ready I texted Kristen that my car had broken down and I needed her to come pick me up! I had been prepping that all week telling her my car was acting weird so this didn’t catch her off guard too much! I sent her my location and that is probably where she realized what was going on! When she arrived and started walking up to me I could see that gorgeous smile and how excited she was! I took her by her hands and started my speech which I should have rehearsed more because I can’t remember a thing I said because of all the emotions running so high! The only thing I remember is saying her full name and asking the love of my life to marry me! She didn’t hesitate for too long and of course said yes and made me the happiest guy on earth! Afterwards that night I surprised her one more time and had our families meet in West Point to all eat and celebrate at Anthony’s! I think it finally hit her what was happening when she saw all of them there and she broke down crying tears of joy! It ended up being the most perfect day ever and something me and Kristen can always look back at as being one of the best days of our life! I feel like the luckiest guy in the world to be able to marry Kristen and I can’t wait for many more perfect days with her!

For the couple of months leading up to the big question, I had my suspicion that a proposal was going to happen soon. Although I had the idea that it was going to happen sometime in a few months, I still had no clue exactly when or how Trey was going to do it. Valentine's Day was coming up, but it was on a Sunday. Because of that, Trey decided to come up to Starkville on the 13th. That afternoon while Trey was making his way up to Starkville, I was getting dressed in my favorite outfit and made sure my makeup looked just right! I was sending pictures of my outfit to my future sis-in-law and was joking about how this might be the last day not wearing a ring. Her reaction to my pictures were less enthusiastic than I was expecting (she already knew it was happening that day) considering how energetic she is, but I didn't think much of it. Trey arrived in Starkville around 1:00, and he was acting so weird! We were hanging out when he told me he had to leave to get my Valentine's present. I thought it was strange that he had to get my present in Starkville, but I was suspecting that maybe he was going to our local florist since that's where he got me flowers for Valentine's Day the previous year. About 15 minutes after Trey left, I got a text from him saying that his car had broken down. This was also not surprising to me because he had been telling me how his car was acting up for a couple of days at this point. I texted him back asking to send me his location, and that I was on my way. When he sent his location he was for some reason in front of Hurst Hall. This was my freshman dorm that was a sentimental place for us and where we have some of our favorite memories. I started thinking, maybe he was trying to cut through campus? Maybe he wanted to ride by because he was feeling sentimental? It all started coming together, however, when I texted him saying that I was on my way, and he replied back with, "Great!" I thought, there's no way he is this happy about his car being broken down, something is definitely happening. Of course I had the idea that maybe he was proposing, but I thought that there was more of a chance he was doing something sweet for Valentine's. That was until I pulled up in front of Hurst. In front of the main doors to the dorm, I saw Trey holding flowers, two balloon posts, and a big banner hanging from the balcony reading "Will You Marry Me?" I got so excited that I lost all sense of self-awareness! Trey took me by my hands, walked me over in between the balloon posts, and started talking to me. Both of us still to this day don't remember what he said while proposing because we were filled with so many emotions! He then got down on one knee, and popped the question! We had a crowd watching who were cheering, and cars that were honking their horns for us! Afterwards, he took me to Anthony's Good Food in West Point, MS for dinner, and he surprised me with an engagement party with both our families! I felt like I was on cloud nine. When I saw our families and the beautiful decorations, that was when the tears starting flowing and I was realizing what all was happening. We celebrated with our families for the rest of the night, and it was everything I could've dreamed of!

This historic property was once the home of William Faulkner, a famous novelist and poet. Although the house was built in 1844, it wasn't purchased by Faulkner till the 1930's. Tours for inside of the house are available, but you can chose to walk around the premises for free!

Rowan Oak

Oxford Square is the perfect place to shop, dine, or to take a walk! Some of my favorite boutiques and restaurants are located in the square, along with the coolest coffee shops. I highly recommend going to the rooftop of the Graduate Oxford Hotel for a drink and an appetizer to kick of the wedding weekend!

Oxford Square North

If you like a good and big breakfast, this place is perfect for you! The biscuits are known to be the best, and the coffee is locally roasted. It is a cute breakfast spot that puts a New Orleans style spin on your traditional breakfast favorites. BBB would be the perfect spot for a day after the wedding brunch!

Big Bad Breakfast

Taylor Grocery and Restaurant is a local favorite! It is known as "the catfish place" because of its reputation of having the best catfish in the south. The restaurant was built in 1889 and was used as a dry goods store. This place is right down the road from the venue, making it perfect for lunch before the wedding or the day after!
