As Told by the Maid of Honor, Nicole VanWinkle:

One day Rette and her dear friend Nicole decided they would try rock climbing at Oklahoma State’s mighty rock climbing wall. Well, as it turns out, they actually really enjoyed climbing and decided to make it a weekly activity! In order to further their climbing skills, Rette decided to take a belay class. As if the stars aligned, the groom with his, might I say, very luxurious locks of hair was part of that class. Previous encounters had been made at a very special Thursday night place, The Table- but no true introductions had yet occurred. Our bride, Rette, went home that night and told Nicole about this super cute guy in her belay class. As MONTHS (yes people it was months) passed more interactions and flirting took place. FINALLY, Gray called Rette and asked her on a date to Ron’s Hamburgers and Chili in small town Stillwater for dinner. It was Gray’s plan to bring ice cream so that root beer floats could be made at dinner (how sweet of him). While deeply gazing into each others eyes the two of them shared a lovely dinner. Many more memories were made and somewhere along the way they fell madly in love with one another. It should be noted that Nicole and Rette still prefer to climb together, obviously. And here we are MARRIAGE!! YAY!!
