Our Wedding

Our story starts as the best ones often do…in law school. We met on our first night after moving to Fort Worth, Texas. After an instant connection over our love of classic rock and status as Texas transplants, I knew I had to know more about the California girl in the leather jacket. Once law school began, Maddie and I found ourselves in the same circle of friends. By the spring semester of our first year, we were practically inseparable. This was especially true once I met Maddies dog, Ama. By the end of that first year, Maddie had found herself a new dog sitter. Whether it was having a drink and dance at the Stockyards, going to Tuesday night trivia, or Maddie heckling me on the golf course; we were always making an excuse to enjoy our favorite things with one another. At the end of our first year in law school, I finally worked up the courage to ask Maddie on a date while watching a documentary of our favorite band, the Eagles. After our first date in the Fort Worth Stockyards; our love for live music, Fort Worth, and each other continued to grow. Over the years, Maddie and I have shared many moments and made countless memories with each other, our friends, and our families. Whether it involved cross country roadtrips for Ama could see our families, moderately successful attempts of her teaching me how to shred the slopes, or long days studying for the bar exam to become attorneys; Maddie and I remained at each other’s side through it all. We are thrilled to invite y’all to celebrate our wedding at the Fort Worth Stockyards, a place where we share many of our favorite memories as a couple. - Grayson
