Our Wedding

Shelby and Bryson's love story is one for the romance book lovers. Their journey together began not in some romantic setting, but rather on the greens of Woodbridge Golf Course. As coworkers, their initial interactions were anything but ideal. Though they both attended Wylie High School they were never close. Shelby thought Bryson was condescending, while Bryson saw Shelby as overly meticulous. Durning their shifts together they would bicker to each other over who would collect golf balls in the broken-down picker and who was going to clean carts. To this day they still argue over who actually left the cart garage door up after they closed for the night. Little did they know, these initial perceptions would evolve dramatically over time. Conversations that started off about work soon delved into shared interests, dreams, and aspirations.In the summer of 2020, a coworker asked Shelby who she would date from work. She said Bryson would not be that bad to date. Later that week he struck up a conversation. Only a few days later, she asked him out on a date. Finally, two weeks after that original date, while picking up pizza for Bryson’s high school graduation party, Shelby looked at Bryson and said, “Hey my mom is asking me if we are dating. So do you wanna be my boyfriend?”&nbsp;Their first year together was a whirlwind of romance and young love. They shared a love of animation and music. They laughed over horrible bosses and annoying schoolwork. They had sing offs in the Whataburger Drive Thru at 12am. Shelby and Bryson spent so much time together, they both started to enjoy not just each other, but their respective families. Bryson grew close with Chris and Jennifer and spent many days on the golf course with Brady. He was even the first ever person to be invited to the Jennings house for a Cowboys football game. Shelby loved talking science with Joe, and playing dress up with Julia, and talking all the school gossip with PaizLee. Shelby even has gone rock climbing with Kiersten. With family as one of their core values, it was a blessing to find support in their new in-laws.&nbsp;By the time Shelby was preparing to leave for Oklahoma State University to pursue her undergraduate degree, there was undeniable love between them. Their time apart was challenging, to say the least. Long-distance relationships have a way of testing even the strongest bonds, but Shelby and Bryson were determined. Bryson spent countless hours in the car driving to and from Stillwater while holding down a full-time job. He worked hard to provide for the time after college. There were late-night phone calls, surprise visits, and hours upon hours of video calls that kept their connection alive. Shelby poured her heart into earning her undergrad in Marketing, while Bryson worked tirelessly to plan their future. They knew that every moment they spent apart brought them one step closer to the life they envisioned together.In November of Shelby’s Senior year and on her 21st birthday, Bryson proposed in front of the Oklahoma State University‘s library. At 2:00 p.m. on a Monday afternoon, Shelby said yes with a giant smile on her face. They spent the final 6 months of Shelby’s college life dreaming of a wedding and their upcoming joining of households.

Things to Do

Registry

Letter to Shelby's Grandma Donna from Jennifer One of the most exciting moments for a bride is shopping for the dress. The perfect dress gives the bride a chance to let her personality, style and taste shine.&nbsp;It can help her feel special, beautiful and confident on one of the most important days of her life. When you find that dress, most brides rarely think about what will become of the dress after the wedding. In most cases it sits in a sealed box turning yellow as the years pass. In some cultures, the dress is passed down through generations though for many the dress is in a closet or attic waiting for a possible rebirth.&nbsp;From time to time the bride will think about the dress and even may talk about it. Rarely though does it become a topic of interest as you move further and further from your wedding date.One afternoon when Shelby was about a year old, I was having a conversation about my wedding dress with my mother-in-law, Donna. At the time many brides weren’t doing what they are doing now such as making robes from their mothers’ gowns or using the material to wrap the wedding flowers. Donna began tossing around ideas and remembered that she had a friend who would pull out her dress every year on her daughter’s birthday and take a photo of her daughter in the dress. I absolutely LOVED this idea and immediately set it in motion.When Shelby was a toddler, the dress swallowed her tiny frame, making her look like a doll in a sea of white fabric. As she grew older, the dress still dwarfed her, but it was a delight to see how much she had grown compared to the previous year. Every November 27th, I would arrange a mini photo shoot, capturing Shelby in different poses, sometimes holding flowers or wearing my veil (which she thought was hideous). The photos were stored in a special album, each year marking a new chapter in Shelby's life.As the years went by, Shelby's relationship with the dress evolved. When she was a child, it was a fun and slightly silly tradition. She would twirl around, making the dress flare out, and make her perfect Disney princess face. In her teenage years, she began to appreciate the significance of tradition. The dress started to fit her better, and she began to understand the love and memories it symbolized.By her 18th birthday, Shelby had grown into a young woman. When she put on the dress that year, it fit her almost perfectly. It was a bittersweet moment for me. The tradition that Donna helped me create had become a beautiful time capsule of Shelby's life. These photos remain a cherished part of Shelby's childhood to me.Never in a million years did I ever think Donna’s inspiration would be a beautiful way to capture the passage of time and the journey Shelby would take as she grew up. Every year, until Donna's death in September of 2012, Donna would remind me it was time to take the photo. Seeing this photo every year was her joy and became the legacy we never thought Donna would give us.I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I have over the years. Maybe we will see the dress again. Jennifer -Mother of the Bride
