To all our friends and family, we can't wait to show our favorite people in the world one of our favorite places in the world. We love Ludwig Bemelmans', author and illustrator behind the beloved book series Madeline, take on far West Texas. After his first visit to the Big Bend region in 1956, he wrote:

“In a lifetime spent in traveling, here I came upon the greatest wonder. The mantle of God touches you; it is what Beethoven reached for in music; it is panorama without beginning or end. No fire can burn so bright, no projection can duplicate the colors that dance over the desert or the bare rock formations that form the backdrop. No words can tell you, and no painter hold it. It is only to be visited and looked at with awe, it will make you breathe deeply whenever you think of it, for you have inhaled eternity.”

Marfa is a one-of-a-kind, in-the-middle-of-nowhere town situated between the Davis Mountains and Big Bend National Park in the high desert of Far West Texas. The rugged alpine terrain is wild, unruly and magnificent. West Texas has some of the darkest sky and greatest stargazing in North America, and if you're lucky, you'll even get to see the famed Marfa Lights. Day or night, Far West Texas will rock your world and take your breath away. The culture is even more "far out" than the location. The people, history, art, music, and food drive the heartbeat of this place. That's the true pulse of West Texas and why it seeps into your spirit.

We chose to say our "I Do"s in this quaint, eclectic desert town because there's no other place like it. It's a haven for cowboys and creatives alike, and we've shared some of our most grand adventures and magical moments here as a couple. The trip out can take time and effort, but the most gratifying journeys always do. We can't wait to embark on life's greatest journey together...marriage (and Marfa!), here we come! See y'all out West!
