Our Wedding

At Big Lake in Blanco, Texas, Josh proposed at sunrise. Just us and a disposable cameraand the most beautiful ring I'd ever seen. It was perfect.

We're continuing love at the lake by getting married at MJ's childhood lake house. The photo below shows the lake from 1931. We cannot wait to share this special place with you!
