Reception

Our Wedding

The short version is that&nbsp;we met through mutual friends.&nbsp;



The long story is ... long but sweet and maybe a little entertaining.&nbsp;











Only two single, professionals in Lubbock, Texas can understand the struggles of dating in a college town while attempting to juggle a serious career as new associate attorneys at "big" Lubbock law firms, so our journey in finding one another is, to us, nothing short of amazing.&nbsp;











To give you some background on us, Spenser grew up in Lubbock, Texas and graduated from Lubbock High where he played copious amounts of soccer. Thereafter, he attended a liberal arts school in Georgetown called Southwestern University where he majored in Economics and minored in Spanish. During the spring semester of his second year in college, Spenser studied abroad in Argentina where he perfected his Spanish speaking skills much more than Laney, which he certainly is not afraid to rub in her face. ;) After graduating from Southwestern (in only three years – even with that semester abroad), Spenser decided to come home to Lubbock and attend law school. But being the overachiever that he is, he not only received a J.D. during his time at Texas Tech, he also earned his Masters in Financial Planning (something he will start teaching Laney AFTER the wedding). After graduating and passing the bar, he spent time working as a landman for an oil and gas company before landing an associate attorney position at one of the oldest law firms in Lubbock – Crenshaw, Dupree, and Milam. 











Laney spent all of her holidays since she can remember with her extended family in Lubbock. Even though she grew up in Flower Mound, she’s always considered Lubbock her “home”. She spent 18 years performing with the prestigious Dancin’ Feet Performing Company directed by Jana Mitchell and also served as captain of her high school cheerleading squad for four years. After graduation, she ran off to California to attend the University of California, Berkeley. She created her own major at Berkeley and spent her time studying the relationship between the law, race, culture, and society in the United States. During her second year, Laney served as a PAC-10 cheerleader for the California Golden Bears but forewent a second year on the team in order to spend a semester abroad. During her third year at Cal, she spent her spring semester in Madrid, Spain. She came home speaking better Spanish than she ever had – but she admits, it’s no where near as good as Spenser’s Spanish. One year later, in May of 2012, Laney graduated with High Honors from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in American Studies. By that time, Laney’s parents had relocated to Lubbock. After finishing an incredibly theoretical degree, she decided she’d get a skills-based degree and attend Texas Tech for law school, where her father graduated from law school in 1981. Never thinking she’d actually practice law, Laney got involved in the national mock trial teams at the law school and was determined to become a litigator. She swears that the best day of her life was when Chad Inderman offered her a job in the Litigation Department of Glasheen, Valles & Inderman – a prestigious injury law firm with offices in Lubbock, Austin, El Paso, Odessa, Dallas, San Antonio, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. 











That is until she met Spenser. 











Although we are both attorneys in a small community, we never met. (This is highly debated by some friends that swear we met during law school when Spenser was a 3L and Laney was a 1L.) On Tuesday and Thursday nights, Alamo Drafthouse (a movie eatery) and Geeks Who Drink host trivia night. Although both of us had attended with our mutual friends on several nights over the past years, it wasn’t until February 9, 2017, that we both attended and served on the same trivia team. Laney was the first one there and was sitting alone when Spenser and a mutual friend walked in. While discussing something totally unrelated with the mutual friend, Spenser spoke his first words to Laney by interrupting and saying, “I heard you’re an ambulance chaser.” Caught completely off-guard by this incredibly unrelated and unnecessary comment, Laney looked at Spenser and said, “I resent that” and continued her other conversation. They sat across from each other all night, contributed nothing to the trivia game, made eye contact, and exchanged slightly adorable insults for the rest of the evening. Laney left thinking – “I’m going to date him!” Spenser left thinking – “that girl was obnoxious.” Spenser’s feeling only lasted until the next time the two hung out, which was only five days later on Valentine’s Day. 











It’s not a joke that we’ve been inseparable ever since. 











Neither of us can remember the moment that we fell&nbsp;in love. It may have been the first night we stayed up late playing Scrabble jamming out to Kendrick Lamar’s brand new album. Or it could have been the time we high-fived, hugged and almost cried when we realized that we had successfully potty-trained Emmy, our new Goldendoodle puppy. Or maybe it was our first night of Journey of Faith classes for Laney’s conversion to Catholicism when we picked the most perfect words (and now our motto) from a stack of note-cards. #peaceandjoy All we know is that we’ve never felt more complete than we do with each other and cannot remember what it was like when we did not have each other. 











As for the proposal, Spenser went all out. We flew to Las Vegas and he surprised Laney with a table overlooking the Bellagio fountains (her favorite) at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. Laney, distracted by the bottle of wine on the table and wondering why no one had opened it yet, wasn’t even listening to Spenser as he told her he loved her. “Yeah, I love you too, babe, but can we open this bottle of wine on our table?” Spenser finally had to say, “Laney listen to me.” Before the camerawoman could even get to the table, Spenser said, “Laney, you’re my peace and my joy – will you marry me?” All Laney could say back is “Are you serious? Are you sure?” 













She finally said yes. 











**As a side note for those that don’t know – Laney’s entire mother’s side of the family has names beginning with P’s. Paula, Pam, Pat, Pris, Paul, Penny, Poni, Paige, and Payne. Always upset with her parents that she has not one single P in her name, she named her poodle, Preslee. Now that Laney is marrying Spenser, she finally gets to have a P in her name like the rest of her family and cannot wait to be Mrs. Delaney Piercy.&nbsp;

Our Story

Details

Taylor and Laney met when they were about 3 years old in dance class at Dancin' Feet in Lewisville, Texas. The two were inseparable since that day. They grew up together, were cheerleaders at Flower Mound High School together, and continued dancing side by side at Dancin' Feet. After graduating from high school, Taylor went out to Cal State Long Beach in Long Beach, California, and Laney went to UC Berkeley in Berkeley, California. Although they were a five hour drive from each other, their friendship never changed. Laney stood next to Taylor as her Maid of Honor when Taylor married her prince charming on April 1, 2017, so it was only fitting that Taylor stand beside Laney as her Matron on Honor on her big day!

Taylor Trumbo

Chappie and I first met freshman year&nbsp;at Southwestern while living on Ruter 3. We ended up pledging together as Phi Delts, and have been part of the same group of brothers ever since. We&nbsp;both went to Texas Tech to play Little Big Planet on PS2 and watch Tech football while doing&nbsp;post-grad work. Chappie has been the glue to our pledge class and a huge encouraging influence in my life, and I'm&nbsp;excited that Chappie has accepted the role as best man.

Andrew Chappell

Laney and Lisa met in their first year of college at UC Berkeley during recruitment. They both ended up pledging Delta Gamma and moved into the sorority house after the first semester. The two lived together in the sorority house for most of their four years at Berkeley. After college, Laney moved back to Texas for law school but vowed to see Lisa at LEAST once a year back in their college town. Lisa and Laney now have more than just their college years in common since Lisa is in her last year of law school at Berkeley and will be finishing the California Bar Exam just TWO days before the wedding. When choosing a Maid of Honor, there was no else that Laney could imagine filling that role. 

Lisa Chan

Dusty is my&nbsp;Phi Delt big brother and have been incredible friends over the last 12 years. We&nbsp;decided to live together after I accidentally graduated college early. We&nbsp;spent long hours working at Casa Ole and drinking at the finest drinking establishment in Georgetown, Applebee's. After deciding this wasn't quite what our&nbsp;SU&nbsp;education prepared us for, Dustin went off to med school and I to law school. Dustin has been an incredible influence in my&nbsp;life and I'm so happy that he will be here to share in the beginning of my and Laney's new adventure.

Dustin Staloch

It is not possible to write everything down that these two have gone through together because Payne and Laney have known each other Laney's whole life. Payne is technically Laney's cousin. Their mothers are sisters - but Payne has always been the big sister that Laney never had. Although Laney grew up in Flower Mound, Texas and Payne in Lubbock, the two have always shared a special bond. Every time Laney was in Lubbock for the holidays, Payne would take her around in her Jeep, introduce her to all of her friends, and let her come to all the cool high school parties with her! Laney stood next to Payne as her bridesmaid in Destin, Florida in 2015, so there was no question that she would be Laney's bridesmaid as well. 

Payne Hellums

Jordy Poo and I met first year of college on Ruter 3. Jordan always struck me as the "cool kid" and I was glad we had our friendship in our early years of college. Jordan ended up giving me the incredible honor of being my little brother in Phi Delt, and throughout the years we have countless memories together. Jordan's sense of humor and willingness to go with the flow have influenced me in so many ways.

Jordan Baker

Another Ruter 3 hallmate, Roarts and I probably first met during soccer tryouts (where I failed miserably, and Chris actually made the team). Throughout our time in college, I was always impressed by Chris' intellect and friendship and am proud to count him among my friends. Through trips to Houston for new years and "couples massages" between&nbsp; partying and my&nbsp;Pedialyte&nbsp;needs, Chris has been with me for some awesome memories, and I'm glad that he'll be by my side for the newest and greatest.

Chris Roarty

Similar to Payne, Paige is technically Laney's cousin but the two have always considered each other (and sometimes mistaken for) sisters. When Laney was in high school, Paige moved to Denton for a year of college. Laney can remember Paige teaching her to drive in her yellow mustang and coming over every Wednesday night to watch Jessica and Nick's "Newlyweds" show. When Laney moved back to Lubbock, Paige and Laney spent their famous "21 summer" gallivanting around Lubbock as Paige showed Laney the Lubbock ropes. Laney was Paige's bridesmaid in 2013 as she married the love of her life and has never thought once that Paige would not be there as her bridesmaid on her big day, too!

Paige Bobo

Sarah and Laney's friendship started when they were in high school at Flower Mound. Laney was a Freshman cheerleader and Sarah was on the Junior Varsity squad. Although the friendship started out filled with some silly drama, the two became best friends quickly after. After high school, Sarah went to OU, but the two remained close chatting on the phone for hours and visiting each other occasionally. Once Laney moved back to Lubbock, they got to see each other more and more because Sarah travels to Lubbock for work. Laney (and Spenser) were so thrilled when Sarah married Blake in September and were so happy to be there to celebrate with them!

Sarah Ward

Capital Pizza. Independence Day. Alienz. Endless GIFs. Nick and I met&nbsp;during law school and have way too many stories to tell about each other.&nbsp;Nick is my go to for sports and our mutual political dislikes, as well as&nbsp;commiserating about our failing USMNT and general Nothing Matter's. Nick is always there to support me, no matter what the situation. I am honored Nick will be by my side on our wedding day, even if I am marrying a FloMo girl (love you, Lane!).

Nick Hutchens

Brittany and Laney met in law school at Texas Tech when they were both in Section 2 during their first year but really became best friends during their second year. The pair always shared notes and outlines even though Brittany was way smarter and always had way better notes. Going through some difficult times that came during law school allowed Laney and Brittany's friendship to grow closer than ever. Even though Brittany's big time lawyer job offer took her to Fort Worth and away from Lubbock, Laney and Brittany have maintained a special friendship that will never end. Laney was so excited to ask Brittany to be in the wedding and even more thrilled when she said yes!

Brittany Weaver

Carlos might be the smartest and dumbest person I've ever met in my entire life, not to mention a decent bowler. I say all of that&nbsp;with the utmost respect. Carlos was an extreme positive influence to me in college, and remains so to this day. His work ethic and intellect are something I could only aspire to achieve in my life. Through college and our adult lives, Carlos has been there for me no matter what.

Carlos Cardenas

Court and Laney met in their younger years at McKamy Middle School but really became friends in high school (when Taylor finally thought Laney was cool enough to let her hang out with "her friends" haha). Court got her drivers license before everyone and would always drive Laney to the football games and to Whataburger after! Courtney moved to Florida for college and then to New York, but Laney and Courtney have always maintained a friendship that has always been very special to Laney. Laney is so thrilled that Courtney will be standing next to her on her big day!

Courtney Frappier

Harrison and I went to high school together, but probably actually became friends after watching Da Ali G Show together and realizing our senses of humor were inappropriate but also very similar. I appreciate Harrison's zest for life, fine cuisine and a good glass of scotch. We've had so many memories together, and I know that there are so many more to come. I'm honored that Harrison will be by my side on July 28.

Harrison Reynolds

Sully and I essentially grew up together, playing soccer and going to the same schools. Through soccer trips to Dallas, and Sully tour-guiding me around Central Europe, we have countless memories together. Sully has been an incredible friend to me for so many years and I am honored that Sully will be with me for me and Laney's next adventure.

Jonathan Sullivan

Laney really wanted to ask Kiara to be her flower girl but was quickly reminded that Kiara is not five years old anymore ;) Kiara is Jana Mitchell's daughter, Laney's long time dance teacher, mentor, second mom, etc. Laney has always teased Kiara about two things: (1) Laney knew her mom before she did; and (2) Even though Kiara is of the legal drinking age, Kiara will forever be 5 years old to Laney. But for real - Laney has known Kiara since she was born and watched her grow up and go off to college. Laney was thrilled when Kiara became a Delta Gamma at Alabama! As Kiara got older, Laney and Kiara began a friendship that far exceeded the little sister vibe that their relationship had before and Laney is so thrilled that she will be a part of her wedding day.

Kiara Mitchell

Victoria is Laney's cousin and a fellow Red Raider! When Victoria told the family that she would be moving to Lubbock to attend Texas Tech, Laney was thrilled. Laney and Victoria both grew up in the DFW area. Laney remembers spending her Tuesday and Thursday afternoons coaching Victoria's mini cheerleading team and attending their performances. When it came to choosing bridesmaids, there was no question that Laney wanted to include Victoria on her special day. Laney is thrilled that Victoria will be standing beside her as she marries Spenser!

Victoria Johnson

Although I knew Dane in law school, we didn't really get close until our mutual (temporary)&nbsp;unemployment after taking the bar exam. We watched movies, shared Dane's incredible craft beer, and planned out our next moves. Dane is a friend who will drop anything to help a friend out, and I'm forever appreciative of everything that Dane has done for me (without even expecting a thank you).&nbsp;

Lubbock is known for being the home of the Texas Tech University, so with this in mind it stands to reason that there is a museum dedicated to the university here as well. The museum features over 5 million exhibits related to Texas Tech and you can learn all about arts, natural sciences, and humanities subjects that are studied here. There is also the Moody Planetarium that has laser and star gazing shows here daily, so budding astrologers should not miss the chance to come here for a whistle-stop tour of the night sky.
