Our story begins with one word...

"Smile"







I think its safe to say that Tyler is someone who does not like to get told what to do. In this case though, he took and went, obviously not in a happy but sarcastic manner.&nbsp;







After a few times of this, the smiling became easier, the times we spent became more memorable. Days turned into months, months turned into years.&nbsp;







Throughout this time we have learned how much he is the ying to my yang, the eggs to my bacon, and much more importantly my Best Friend.

*I am the onion ring in his fries*&nbsp; LA QUE ES SOBRE SONRISAS 

 

Nuestra historia comienza con una palabra&hellip;

 

“Sonríe”

 

Creo que es bastante seguro decir que Tyler es alguien al que no le gusta que le digan qué hacer. Aunque en este caso, él lo hizo, obviamente no feliz, sino sarcásticamente.

 

Después de varias veces, el sonreír se hizo más fácil, el tiempo que pasamos se hizo más memorable. Los días se convirtieron en meses, los meses en años.

 

Durante este tiempo hemos aprendido lo mucho que él es el ying a mi yang, los huevos a mi tocino, y mucho más importante, mi mejor amigo.

 

*Yo soy la aros de cebolla de sus papas fritas*

The One About Smiles

The trip of a lifetime turned into one of the most cherished memories both of us will ever have.&nbsp;

It started out as any other trip would between a girl and a guy... the question of how many luggage pieces, what is the weather going to be like, and the most obvious one, are we sure we have everything?&nbsp;

Lima was great, but that trip obviously didn't really start until we took our flight to Cusco. Making it to our hotel was not the easiest thing, as we had to take a taxi for about 2 hours up hill and then back down.&nbsp;

Tyler was apparently freaking out considering well he had a ring in hiding, and let's be honest that hair pin road was not what you are used too in the states.&nbsp;

Thankfully, we made it! This meant that we got to go ready for our adventure the next morning.&nbsp;

August 29th started out very early, it was still very dark. After a taxi, train ride, and bus ride... we made it to Machu Picchu. The sky was clear, the sun was shining and we started our hike. It was a long way up, with a lot of stops along the way and many times there was talk about giving up. Even through all this, after two hours, we made it to the very top. At over 10,000 ft, Tyler starts to ramble... he started by comparing our hike to what life will be like, made up of ups and downs, where there are moments that one of us will need the others support and to push each other to achieve the bigger goal. I am so exhausted, my legs feel wobbly, and I am just thinking "what is this man saying?". After this amazing speech he opens the zipper of our camelback and inside there is this the most beautiful, sparkly diamond promise.&nbsp;

I am not sure if tears were flowing out of my eyes because&nbsp;this amazing man asked me to marry him or because I still had&nbsp;to go down this mountain to make it back home?&nbsp;

Even though going down was hard, having Tyler by my side made the descend smoother.

Heres to discovering more Wonders of the World as the future Edmonds!

 NO HAY MONTAÑA TAN ALTA

 

El viaje de nuestras vidas terminó siendo una de las mejores memorias que nosotros algún día tendríamos. 

 

Todo comenzó como cualquier otro viaje entre un chico y una chica&hellip; las preguntas de cuántas maletas, cómo iba a ser el clima, y la más obvia de todas, teníamos todo?

 

Lima fue increíble, pero el viaje obviamente no comenzó hasta que tomamos nuestro vuelo a Cusco. Llegar a nuestro hotel no fue la cosa más fácil del mundo, porque tuvimos que tomar un taxi por 2 horas cuesta arriba.

 

Aparentemente, Tyler se estaba volviendo loco considerando que estaba escondiendo un anillo, y hay que ser honestos ese camino repleto de curvas no es algo de lo que estás acostumbrado en los Estados Unidos. 

 

Afortunadamente, lo logramos! Lo que significa que tuvimos que alistarnos para nuestra aventura a la mañana siguiente.

 

El 28 de agosto comenzó muy temprano, todavía estaba bastante oscuro. Después del taxi, el viaje en tren y en autobús&hellip; llegamos a Machu Picchu. El cielo estaba despejado, el sol brillante y comenzamos nuestra caminata. Fue un camino largo hacia arriba, con un montón de paradas en el camino y donde muchas veces se habló sobre rendirse. A pesar de todo esto, después de dos horas, logramos llegar a lo más alto. Sobre 3048 metros, Tyler comenzó a divagar&hellip; comenzó a comparar nuestra caminata a sobre cómo la vida sería, con altibajos, donde hay momentos donde uno de nosotros va a necesitar el apoyo del otro y a presionarnos entre nosotros para lograr el mayor objetivo. Yo estoy tan cansada, mis piernas están que se tambalean, y estoy pensando “qué está diciendo este hombre?”. Después de ese grandioso discurso, abre el cierre de nuestra mochila y dentro está el más hermoso, brillante diamante.

 

No estoy segura si las lágrimas salían de mis ojos porque este maravilloso hombre me pidió para casarme con él o porque igual tendría que bajar la montaña y llegar a la casa?

 

A pesar que bajar fue difícil, tener a Tyler a mi lado lo hizo más suave.

 

¡Esta es para descubrir más Maravillas del Mundo como los futuros Edmonds!

Our Story

Our Wedding

Details

Derrick is the grooms little brother. I always knew&nbsp;that he would stand by my side on my wedding day. He is definitely the person to be considered the life of the party.&nbsp;Keep an ear out for his best man speech, which will no doubt be filled with embarrassing tales from our eventful youth!

Derrick Edmonds

I thank Texas A&M for bringing such a sweet sister friend into my life. From crazy college nights at the infamous Dry Bean to our Must-HAVE quarterly meet ups (Thanks T), she has become my lobster. Shes the Monica to my Rachel, she's my April birthday week partner and soon enough we shall share anniversary weeks with our husbands.&nbsp;

Christine Bradley

Blake is the grooms older brother,&nbsp;and the guy you’ll want on your side during comp games. Blake&nbsp;is also one of the better cooks&nbsp;we know – ask him about his brisket, we have no doubt he’ll jump up at any conversation that talk about how to cook good food and a solid cheese board.&nbsp;

Blake Langford

We have been through thick and thin over the years and can't imagine not having her by my side as I marry the love of my&nbsp; life.&nbsp;

Erin Richards

My sorority little. We instantaneously bonded over animals and food. Baked goods where a go-to especially during Gamma Phi events. She's the person who always helps me find the good.

Caroline Costello

Groom's cousin. Growing up the boys in the family would mean&nbsp;mischief, thanks to Justin I can say I definitely have fond memories with "the boys".&nbsp;

Justin Neighbors

We cheered on for Yellow House, had sleepovers at her familys hotel, played with animals, well it was kids stuff. Now over 15 years later, she's still a big part of my life and an even better example of friendship no matter the distance.

Pamela Chiappe

Grooms cousin. He is the quiet one of the bunch, but when all of us got together there is no stopping Brandon.&nbsp;

Brandon Neighbors

Fish Camp DG baby to Friend to Roommate to My Meatball. Life got more fun and eyes opened brighter. Her confident self makes you always want to have her on your side.

Imani Anderson

Childhood Friend. After easily 20 years of friendship, our conversations pick up where they leave off. She's been a part of the family after her "pollitos dicen" song when we were 3. She taught me keep on going...never be afraid. She was easily one of the most confident 3 year olds I have ever met.&nbsp;

Dania Cuneo

B-Man, I am glad your wife and my future wife are best friends. College football, College Station, and corgi dads... we are definitely in for a trip. Glad to have this man stand up next to me.&nbsp;

Taco Diner is my personal fave but some prefer Mi&nbsp;Cocina.If you are feeling boozy, go ahead and head to The Happiest Hour. If you would like to try more you can do Standard Pour or Playground Bar (best of both worlds from a speakeasy style bar to reminiscing about your childhood)
