Wedding Day Reception

Our Wedding

We met at the OU bookstore where we were both employees for a little while. We caught each other’s eye from across the room and I immediately thought “damn hes cute”. Apparently, he felt the same way :) We rarely worked together, but those days we did were my favorite. We’d laugh, talk a little trash and just make the most of our time together. I remember one day when we were working he just sort of disappeared. An hour or so later I go downstairs to our manager’s office to ask a question and he’d been down there the whole time just chatting. I ended up getting pulled into the convo about previous relationships and learned more about him. Eventually I had decided to find a new job, and I put in my notice. I remember thinking that on my last day, even though I was nervous, I would get his number before I left. I didnt even get the chance! As I was cleaning the dressing room he came in and asked me instead. That was the beginning of it all. It has been so much fun having him by my side. I couldn’t ask for a better man to grow beside and to build our life with. He is the kindest, most funny (to me), and most loving person I have ever met. I’m so excited to be married to my best friend and continue to grow our little family with Achilles and Jäger!

Our Story

It was September 2016, and I was stocking some textbooks at the OU bookstore when this cute blonde caught my eye. She was wearing a Harry Potter shirt, Harry Potter socks, and had a Harry Potter phone case. Already being a huge fan of Harry Potter, I knew I had to shoot my shot. Fast forward 5 years later, I knew I wanted this woman to be my wife so I decided to take the leap and ask her to marry me. Let me tell you I was so nervous. After a few months of planning, I decided on the spot, Chisholm Creek. On November 8, 2021, we pulled up around 7 and got a few drinks and then continued walking around. There is a beautiful pond with a little stage on the water with amphitheater-style seating around it. With some expert maneuvering, we ended up walking onto that platform and I pointed her attention toward the fountain show. When she turned back around, I was down on one knee. With my heart pounding out of my chest, I spoke the words  Will you marry me?

Best friend since we met at work 3 years ago at More Than Medicine in Weatherford, OK. We have had so many laughs and memories made over the past several years that I will never forget. She is one of the kindest, most self-less people I know, and she gave jäger one of his best friends (Mac-ii). I love her so much!

Alexis Clark

I first met this lovely lady in our Ochem 2 summer class where we bonded over our misery, and eventually became close friends. Some of my favorite memories are of us and our guys going the local popular bar and playing pool and drinking a little beer. Also taking our pups to the pond! She is so caring, badass, intelligent, and cool. I love this girl and can't wait to have her standing next to me on my big day!!

Alexis Swinford

This is my younger cousin, an amazing person who I have had in my life for 17 years. She's is always thinking of other people, and never hesitates to lend a helping hand. It has been crazy seeing her grow up over the years and pretty soon she will be graduating high school. I love this girl, and I am so glad she said yes!

Hollie Ansari

This is my younger sister. I've known her for over ten years, and I have enjoyed watching her grow up over the years (although it definitely makes me feel old). She always brings a smile to my face and lights up my world when I see her. I love her with all my heart and can’t for her to be beside us on our big day!
