Reception

Thank you all for wanting to come to our wedding, we are so excited to have you there!&nbsp; Here are some extra details that will help.&nbsp; The drive from San Antonio is 9hrs. Please put the Waterfall Lodge in your GPS when you leave El Paso because you will lose service. Please watch your gas mileage as there are long stretches of no gas stations. There are 2 routes you can go, 1 is through El Paso (if driving at night , this is suggested) the other route is through Artesia (this is a dangerous road, but about 30 minutes shorter, not too bad during day time)&nbsp;You will probably want to bring Chapstick and Lotion as the weather is dryer. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out ! And whenever you get into Cloudcroft please shoot us a text!&nbsp;

Our Wedding

Matthew and I first met when I was a freshman in college, when we were both attending Blinn College. We became friends through mutual friends and would see each other from time to time around College Station or at the lake that is between our hometowns. Shortly after we became good friends, and spent a lot of our time together hanging out, going to the pool and doing school work. Matthew ended up moving home to Castroville while I was still in College Station, so our friendship was put on hold, but we talked every now and then when I would come home in the summer. After being apart for a year we realized that was long enough and that we wanted to be with each other. Matthew and I officially started dating September 12 of 2019. As I was still in College Station, Matthew would drive up every other weekend to spend time with me! Then in March COVID hit, School closed, and my job slowed down so I decided I wanted to move closer to home. I ended up getting a job at Oak Hills Country Club and moving in with the Carrillo's in May of 2020. Our relationship has flourished because of all these blessings. Matthew proposed to me at Thanksgiving of 2020, and I couldn't have been more surprised and so happy to spend the rest of our lives together.
