Our Wedding

^The night he asked her to be his girlfriend 10/16^ Every love story has a beginning, and Rilee &amp; Barron’s technically started in 7th grade. Rilee &amp; Barron have known each other since middle school, but it wasn’t until 11th grade Algebra that they really became friends; Barron faked needing help with homework to talk to her- smooth, right? They talked more and more each day, getting to know the other more. But, the only catch? They were both in relationships at the time, so their story stayed in the “just friends” chapter a little longer. After high school, they went their separate ways; Rilee was living in College Station preparing to attend Texas A&amp;M and Barron was at the University of Houston. But fate wasn’t quite done with them. They reconnected at a mutual friends house party during sophomore year of college and the spark was still very much there, but this time, the timing was just right! Life threw a curveball at Rilee and she had to move back home where she found herself only 30 minutes from Barron instead of 2 hours; they started spending more and more time together and in October of 2020, Barron officially asked Rilee to be his girlfriend.

The Backstory

^Graduated college side by side!^ Ten months later, Rilee &amp; Barron moved in together - partly because it made school commutes easier, but mostly because they simply loved being around each other. They got their first dog Klaus, and made so many memories together. They soon finished college at the University of Houston and attended Barron’s branch ceremony where he got the news that he had been selected for Armor school, which meant the next chapter of their lives would take place in Fort Benning, Georgia.

Moved in Together + Our First Fur Baby

^Right after Barron popped the question!^ Barron &amp; Rilee moved to Fort Benning, Georgia in August of 2023 where Barron began ABOLC to become an Armor officer. That next month, they got their second fur baby, Pepper. They made many memories in Georgia, including trips to Atlanta and Panama City Beach, hikes with the pups, hosting get-togethers with friends, and more! In March 2024, Barron proposed to Rilee along the Chattahoochee River with his late grandmothers wedding ring. They had been together for just over three years, and soon after, in April, on Barron’s birthday, they found out they were expecting! During Rilee’s pregnancy, they moved once again - this time to Colorado and welcomed their sweet son in January of 2025.

Georgia + Second Fur Baby + Proposal + Baby Boy!

Barron &amp; Rilee have been together now for a little over 5 years and have a beautiful baby boy &amp; two fur babies. They moved to Colorado Springs, CO, back in July of 2024 for Barron's military career (serving at Fort Carson) and are enjoying it so far! Rilee is a stay-at-home mom raising their son - and loving every beautiful and chaotic moment of parenthood. They continue to make memories, grow together, and build a life filled with laughter and endless love.Barron &amp; Rilee do not have a traditional love story by any means, but it's a love that is theirs and is filled with unexpected turns, big adventures, and more love than they could've ever imagined. They are so excited to celebrate this new chapter with you.Thank you for being a part of our story - we can't wait to be surrounded by the people who have loved and supported us every step of the way!Rilee + Barron
