Our Wedding

Ray and I met at a Thanksgiving celebration in 2015 that many have coined "Friendsgiving". This is a holiday typically celebrated before Thanksgiving that includes just friends. We didn't know at the time, but we had mutual friends that were throwing the party. I was best friends with the hostess and Ray was good buddies with the host. I met Ray upon coming into the party and was surprised there was someone there that I didn't know. Ray was tall, dark, and handsome and he had a laugh that you could hear from across the house. I asked my friend Megan, who was hosting the party, who Ray was and how I had never met him before. She told me all about his backstory; he had been in the Army for 4 years serving as a medic and then went on to Texas A&amp;M to get a degree in agricultural business. I was instantly swooning; I mean, how could you not when you have a man who is dedicated to his country and to his education! That night we all laughed and enjoyed the great food that we had all helped to make. Ray, being the social butterfly that he is, did most of the talking while I happily listened to his Army and College days stories. Megan and John decided that we should all get together again the next day to finish eating all of the leftovers, only this time it would only be Megan, John, Ray, and me. They were setting us up for a double date! The second night, after eating all of the leftovers, I attempted to teach Ray how to dance to "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle. Although Ray is a good dancer, this dance in particular was hard for all of us to master. After I decided it was time to go, Ray walked me out to my truck so I could head home. There he told me how much fun the weekend was and wanted my phone number to take me out on a date. Of course I said yes! The rest is history!

How Our Story Started (Kyndal) 

I knew Kyndal was the one. While we dated, we spent many evenings laughing, sharing stories, going on new adventures, and when conversations of the future came up our ideas perfectly aligned. I love this girl! I spent some time looking for just the right ring, and when I found the one, I couldn't wait to give it to her. I had some time before it was delivered and started thinking up how I would pop the question. I had planned to wait a few weeks after it arrived, but when I saw that diamond I just couldn't help myself. I got a bottle of the wine we had on our first date, and took her to a place on the Trinity River where we had a bike ride early on (she got a flat tire which was a slightly funny ordeal in itself, so we had to redeem the river). Downtown Ft. Worth Tx., wine, cheese, and a diamond...how could she say no?

The Moments Leading to "YES" (Ray)

Our Story

Details

My little brother has been one of my most valued confidants. Growing up, and even through college, we share many great memories. Our adventures haven't slowed down and I can't wait for many great times ahead.

Waylon Brown 

Megan and I have been friends since Pre-School! She has been by my side through all of life's ups and downs.  Megan was also the one that introduced me to Ray at a Friendsgiving party she was hosting in 2015. Theres no way I could say "I do" without Megan. 

Megan Golly 

Jessica is my beautiful Sister-in-law.  Jessica and I met for the first time when my brother Brian brought her to meet the family for Easter weekend.  We have all enjoyed her so much and her  two beautiful daughters that are now my neices. 

Jessica Brewer 

Nick was one of my first and best buddies through the Army. We made traveling through the South one big adventure with our camping trips (sometimes a tent in the motel 6 parking lot), fishing, Nashville concerts, and the group of friends we had at Fort Campbell.

Nick Arzamendi 

I met Jordan during my time in College Station. We were a dynamic duo on North Gate, hanging by the river, and enjoying deserted Galveston beaches.

Jordan Hoel 

I met Justine at Centenary College where we both played golf. Justine is the kind of friend that always keeps you laughing even when you don't want to. She is kind and humble about all aspects of her life. Justine is my sorority sister and she is the one who exposed me to my first New Orleans Mardi Gras several years ago! I can blame my love of Mardi Gras on her!

Justine Kemp 

Taylor has been one of my best friends since early high school. He has always been down to accompany me on my travels. As a pilot, he even took the liberty of taking my family on a couple trips, and scaring my mother out of repeat trips.

Taylor Mara 

Maureen and I met at Centenary College as ZTA sisters and lived together for one year.  After Maureen left Centenary to go to Samford in Birmingham, we stayed as close as can be.  I was honored to be a part of Maureen's big day in October of 2016 and can't wait for her to share my special day with me! 

Maureen Murtagh 

Kylee and I have been friends since high school.  Kylee is always laughing and smiling and giving the biggest hugs when you need them most.  We played college golf together and have remained best friends since.  Kylee is the one who convinced me to join our sorority so I have her to thank for the many lasting firendships I gained from ZTA. 

Kylee Goldthorn 

Kenny has always been down to find shenanigans, whether on dirt bikes or walking the farm. Being so close in age, in high school we also got to run the same social circles before moving off and away from home. 

Kenny Brown 

Malloy and I have been working together at Coppell High School for our very first years as teachers.  We have bonded over good and bad experiences as we have entered this profession.  Some days I think talk more to Malloy at work then I talk to Ray! 

Malloy Butler 

Michael and I grew up together, wandering the farm and going on family riding trips. I've had the joy of watching him grow up and graduate college. Luckily he had the sense to stay in Texas so more crawfish boils and BBQs to come. 

Micheal Brown 

Brian welcomed me into the family from the very start and has shown to be a great brother to Kyndal. I look forward to the many more memories to come.

Brian Brewer 

Jordan is my future Sister-in-law. Jordan and I have gained a friendship through Ray and Waylon. Jordan is very competitive so I always try to be on her team when we all play games! Ray, Waylon, and Jordan all went to A&amp;M together which makes their memories and stories unforgettable! 

Jordan Seitz (future Brown) 

I still remember when my youngest brother used to call me brubbers. It's already time to watch him go off to college and find his niche in the world. 

Bailey Brown 

Leah and I are future cousins! Ray and Leah grew up together on the family farm and have been lifelong best friends. Leah is so sweet and loving and is an overall positive person. Ray was even a man of honor in Leah's wedding!

Leah Taylor 

Bricyn is my adorable nephew! I have watched him grow into a smart and kind young boy.  I can't wait to see how handsome he looks on the big day!

Bricyn Brewer 

Natalie is one of my beautiful nieces that will be in the wedding.  She is kind and mothering to all children and I can't wait to see how pretty she looks in her flower girl dress! 

Natalie Brewer 

Kenzleigh is my youngest niece and she is going to look so beautiful in her flower girl dress on the big day.  Her big personality will surely bring a huge smile to everyone there.
