Our Wedding

I first met Maddie in sixth grade in Mr. Kimball’s social studies class. She says she knew she would marry me right then. I just knew that we argued a lot. We became friends over the next two years, then best friends shortly thereafter. Through middle school track, we spent a lot of time together, with Maddie always chasing me. In high school, people constantly told us that we should date, but it took a few years for that to come together. Our senior year, we realized that we really enjoyed being together, and with little fanfare began dating.  When I enrolled at the University of Texas, Maddie moved to College Station to continue her track career with a different school. We continued dating, but the distance was not ideal. After one year, Maddie decided that she would be happier in Austin, so she transferred schools. Over the next three years, we grew closer together and closer to realizing that we would like to marry each other. Finally, senior year, the time came to make that decision and announce it.  We are so honored to share our lives with you. We are looking forward to our next chapter and are grateful that we can celebrate with you. -James

Things to Do

Bridesmaids

I met Mackenzie on my first day of cross country practice at UT. We became friends very quickly. From practice, to Costco trips, to car rides jamming to country music, and everything in between, Mac has truly been my partner in crime since I moved to Austin. She’s a selfless and loyal friend. I can’t count the time she’s dropped everything to help me, or gone out of her way to make my life better. I’m so thankful she’ll be standing next to me on my wedding day!

Mackenzie  Jensen

Rebecca and I go way back. We were actually friends before James (her twin brother) and I became friends. Anyone who knew me as a sixth grader and has willingly hung around in my life is a true friend. Rebecca is no exception to this. Rebecca has remained one of my best friends through the years, and we’re even roommates now. And after the wedding, we’ll be sisters! Needless to say, I’m very excited to have Rebecca as a part of the wedding. 

Rebecca Boswell

Ashley is also know as my “twin” from Texas A&M. During my freshman year at A&M, Ashley (a sophomore) and I quickly realized we had a lot in common after our first cross country travel trip together. From that point on, we shared so many sweet memories together. And thankfully, those memories have still continued to this day! You can catch us busting out our funny dance moves, running lots of miles, and sharing how good God is. I’m so grateful Ashley is going to be apart of my wedding day!

Ashley Driscoll

I first met Audrey freshman year of college. She was Rebecca Boswell’s roommate. Every time I came to visit Austin for the weekend, I would sleep on their dorm room floor. I remember thinking that year, “I really hope Audrey doesn’t think I’m weird”. Flash forward a few years, and now Audrey is one of my roommates and best friends!  I’m very excited to have her be apart of my wedding day. 

Audrey Soltau

Abbie has been one of my best friends since 1st grade. My life would look drastically different if she weren’t in it. Our time spent together in school, running track, making funny video series, and other adventures have really shaped who I am today. We’ve grown up together, so it only seems fitting that she stands with me as I enter a new phase of my life!

Abbie Kimball

This is Peyton, or Peanut! She’s my little-mini me. We share the youngest-child bond, love sports, and are both pretty goofy at times. My wedding day wouldn’t be the same without her!
