Our Wedding

When Anna moved to Houston to pursue her law degree&nbsp;at South Texas, she never envisioned that a native Houstonian&nbsp;would eventually sweep her off her feet.&nbsp;

They met on a normal Saturday afternoon at Anna's cousin's pool while&nbsp;hanging out and enjoying the great weather. Little did they&nbsp;know that later that evening, it would take a debate over who was better, the Houston Rockets or the Oklahoma City Thunder, to finally get one another truly talking to one another.&nbsp;

After their&nbsp;first date at Carrabba's on Kirby, it's been a whirlwind&nbsp;going on 3 years together. From multiple weddings, football games, to plenty of family events in Austin and in&nbsp;Rockport, they&nbsp;have truly shared their&nbsp;lives with one another.&nbsp;

To encompass all of that, Tim asked Anna on March 2nd at the Bethel Church Park, which is 1 block from where they met, to be his forever best friend and wife.&nbsp;&nbsp;

They can't wait to share the start of the rest of their lives as husband and wife, with their closest friends and family.

Natalie is my older sister and my Matron of Honor. Having a 5 year age difference hasn't stopped us from being best friends. I was her Maid of Honor in her and Brandon's wedding and I couldn't be more thrilled to return the favor and have her play such an important role in me and Tim's wedding.&nbsp;

Natalie Cooke

Chris Hanna, the younger brother to Tim Hanna. When he's not competing in Special Olympics and absolutely DOMINATING bowling, he's cheering for the Astros and Texans. Chris has a big heart and even bigger smile. There's not another person Tim would want standing by his side on his big day.&nbsp;

Chris Hanna

10 years;&nbsp;a broken collar bone, a broken ankle and&nbsp;a best friend. Clayton and I&nbsp;met at the Pike house 10 years ago and have never looked back. They lived together, traveled together and now work together at AIV. Whether it's 18 holes of golf, shooting clays or just trying to make it in the business world, Clayton has always been there for me.&nbsp;

Clayton Rogers

Macy is my sister-in-law and my BHB (don't ask). The very first time I met Macy, I was visiting Jackson at Texas Tech and she's been a part of our family ever since.&nbsp;I could not have asked for a better sister-in-law as she has become one of my best&nbsp;friends. I'm lucky enough to have her and Jackson living in Houston with me, and&nbsp;I am so blessed to have her as one of my bridesmaids!

Macy Widner

Jackson is Anna's older and my dove hunting/golfing buddy. Although he's better at both,&nbsp;he never boasts too much about it.&nbsp;He may not be the biggest fan of my beer choice but I&nbsp;know he approves of me marrying his sister and for that, I am forever grateful.&nbsp;

Jackson Widner

Emily is my beautiful cousin and when we were younger, every summer we would alternate whose house we would spend a week or so at. Those are some of my favorite memories growing up and helped create such a special relationship between the two of us. I cannot wait to create new memories with her&nbsp;during this exciting time and am so happy to have her stand by my side through out all of it!

Emily Smith

It's ironic that I would choose this photo. This is actually the night that Jameson introduced Anna and I. Jameson and I met many moons at the Pike house when I was the rush chair. When you talk about someone who is passionate about UH, golf and all things futbol, look no further than Jameson Widner. He's been one of my closest friends as we've seen multiple college football stadiums, golf courses and heartbreaking UH&nbsp;losses together. #whatisTimsaying

Jameson Widner

Aubry is pretty much my little sister. I have known her since she was born and I have gotten to watch her grow up into the beautiful person she is today. She is now living in Dallas and is crushing it as&nbsp;an undergraduate at SMU.&nbsp;I am so fortunate to have my&nbsp;"little sister" as&nbsp;one of my bridesmaids!

Aubry Hinners

Kallie and I&nbsp;were both &nbsp;part of the Women's Symphony League Jewel Ball. When we started as Maidens, we were in the 6th grade,&nbsp;when we finally&nbsp;got to be Princesses together, when we were in college.&nbsp;She and I share a special bond and have always referred to each other as sisters,&nbsp;&nbsp;and I was so excited to see her say yes&nbsp;when I asked her to be a bridesmaid!

Kallie Harrington

If you ever need a political consultant, a swag consultant or have a question about the Texas Bullet Train then look no further than Mac Flores. Mac has been a great friend of mine over there years. Sharing heart break at UH games, falling asleep at any given moment no matter what we are doing or complaining about our offense, Mac has always been there.&nbsp;

Mac Flores

Niko Stewart, my right hand man, my lights and audio man and my daily "hey what do you think about this for tailgating"&nbsp;man. Niko and I met at the Pike house when I&nbsp;was going through rush. Through the years we both came to a mutual understanding that we love tailgating and providing a great party for our friends. Any given time you can find us messaging on Gchat or enjoying a nice old fashioned.&nbsp;

Niko Stewart

I met Brooke when she started dating one of my close friends, and the very first day we met, we became best friends. Even though she and Rob lived in Montana and Idaho the majority of the time that I have known her, it didn't stop us from staying close.&nbsp;Finally they have moved to Austin and I&nbsp;am so blessed to have her not only closer to me, but also to have her&nbsp;as one of my bridesmaids!&nbsp;

Brooke Durkee

Joe Paul or Paul-So-Hard. The man, the myth, the legend. Paul was one of the first people I met during rush who would not let me hang out at the Pike house. Coincidentally, due to him making that move I got my first concussion, not like I&nbsp;remember though. Paul and I&nbsp;have been friends for over 10 years, roommates, travel-mates and over all just great friends. One last note, he's very afraid of bees, so no one bring your pet bee to the wedding, thank you in advance.&nbsp;

Paul Ferree

Amber is married to my cousin&nbsp;Myles,&nbsp;and I have known her since the two of them started dating in high school. When I&nbsp;moved to Houston for law school, Amber and I&nbsp;got to become close friends&nbsp;and I am so excited to have her stand up there with me as I&nbsp;say "I do" to my best friend, Tim!

Amber Widner

I&nbsp;met Amanda through Tim, as she is&nbsp;his best friend. Amanda and her husband Aaron are our go-to double date buddies and through out the years, she has become one of my closest friends. It will mean so much to both Tim and I to have her&nbsp;standing up there with us when we start the rest of our lives and Mr. and Mrs. Hanna!

Amanda Schneider

Gage Raba; I can thank only this guy for my love of shotguns now. We met during my rush semester for Pike at UH. Ever since then it's been 10+&nbsp;years of golfing, guns and crawfish. He's been a great example for me now that he's heading into fatherhood and I look forward to having him up there with me on this very special day.&nbsp;

Gage Raba

Myles aka Wiley, my golfing buddy, my northeast side bud and overall a great friend. I met Myles after I had graduated but we bonded over college baseball and golf. Although he's way better than I am at golf, occasionally I can still outdrive him. I was lucky enough to share his big day with him and Ambs and i'm very much looking forward to having him by my side next year.&nbsp;

Myles Widner

Oklahoma State University (go pokes!) brought Jackie and I together&nbsp;when we joined the same sorority. She quickly became one of my best friends while living in the same dorm building&nbsp;and we ended up being roommates for our junior and senior years at OSU. She now lives in North Carolina&nbsp;with her husband Michael, but that hasn't stopped us from being just as close as we were while living together. I&nbsp;cannot wait to celebrate me and Tim's big day with her by my side!

Jaclyn Schaefer

MOEHAM! My pledge brother from Fall 07; NEF, and a close friend ever since. I can always count on&nbsp;Moe to hang out no matter the situation and to talk about any situation over a couple of beers. He might be an inner looper but get this boy in the sticks and you'd never know.&nbsp;

Moe Khan

I met Delaney my very first year of law school at South Texas. She and I&nbsp;may be polar opposites, but I think that's what makes us click. During the 3 years of law school's torment, she has become one of my best friends and I don't think I would have made it through without her. This day wouldn't be the same without her, and&nbsp; I&nbsp;am so thrilled to have Delaney&nbsp;be a part of such an exciting time!

Delaney Kampas

Brandon is my future brother-in-law. He's an amazing father of my future niece Emory and even better husband to my future sister-in-law Natalie. Brandon is my kind of people, he's a business guy, he enjoys a good whiskey and we both suck at golf.&nbsp;

Brandon Cooke

Emory Celeste is my beautiful and sassy niece. She is the daughter of my Matron of Honor, Natalie, and her husband Brandon.&nbsp;Just as I&nbsp;was so honored to have her named after me, I&nbsp;am so honored to have her be my flower girl. She will have just turned 3 the&nbsp;December before our wedding and I know that&nbsp;&nbsp;her outgoing and lovable personality will surely shine on our big day.&nbsp;I cannot wait to be able to look back on this day with her when she's older and tell her just how special it was to have her be a part of it.&nbsp;

Emory Cooke

Rick aka RICOOOOO&nbsp;aka Rick from Big Money Texas. This dude has been there with me from day one when we both started rush with Pike back in Fall 07. Lord knows how many times we've traveled together, gone out and torn up the town or talked about how the Texans are better than the Cowboys, which he strongly disagrees because something about 5 rings.&nbsp;

Rick Cruz

Lindsey is also a best friend from law school. We met before school started because we roomed together during our 1st year. As brutal as the 1st year of law school was, I was blessed to have her as a roommate and share that 1st year beat down with. She transferred to UH Law for years 2 and 3, but we have kept up our close-knit friendship, and I&nbsp;am so excited to have her in my wedding party!&nbsp;

Lindsey Kellam

Helen Le is another law school survivor that I met my 1st year. She was in my same section, and we were able to become best friends through our mutual love of grabbing drinks during our lunch breaks between classes. I am so honored to have her as part of the wedding party for me and Tim's big day and can't wait to celebrate with her!

Helen Le

My man, Harrell aka Hair Bear. I remember the day you walked into the Pike house looking like a 5* frat recruit. Since then it's been nothing but, winey bois, trips to Nola and always making sure, the mud is real. Harrell has been my boy for many years and i'm so glad to have him up there with me on this big day.&nbsp;

Harrell Eason

Hudson aka H Man. The son of my best friend Clayton and his wife Brittany. I've known H man since his first couple of days of life and watched him grow up to be the spitting image of Clayton. He's ring security and he'll look great in a tux walking down the aisle with my son-to-be niece, Emory.&nbsp;
