Our Wedding

We met through a dating app called 'Boo.' While I don't believe in "love at first sight," I can only describe it as the closest thing you can get to it. We had a lot in common; she's kind, honest about herself, and could possibly spend as much time talking about D&amp;D as I could. I sent a message, (then quickly panicked, not knowing if a message counted as a match request), but sure enough, the next day, she sent one back. We got to watch the eclipse together at work, and eventually, we decided to meet in Waco. 	The date started a bit on the awkward side, but after going to the Mammoth exhibit, we stopped for lunch and wound up talking for the rest of the day. After that, I asked if she would like to start a relationship, and she said yes. 	Since then, you can usually find us in Waco, hanging out at King's Landing, maybe down at the Belton theater, or maybe at the Ren Faire when it comes to town. I love Valori, and I'm excited to see you at the celebration of our union on July 26th!

His Story

I wouldn't have thought that Dungeons and Dragons would end up leading to a marriage, but here we are. I matched with Patrick because he looked nice, and I figured that even if it didn't lead anywhere, it's always fun to talk about D&amp;D with folks who also enjoy it. We did a lot of that, and I discovered that Patrick was incredibly easy to talk to. As I got to know him better, he was (and still is!) consistently kind, considerate, and patient, in a way that I had never experienced before. He liked me for me, and I grew to love him, for him. I feel so blessed, and I am looking forward to learning and building a life together with Patrick.

Wedding Party

The ceremony will be held on the 2nd floor of the Armstrong Browning Library located on the Baylor University campus. I would encourage you to arrive early so that you will have an opportunity to explore the second floor of the library. The library doors will open at 1:15 p.m. There is no food or drink allowed on the second floor of the library.&nbsp;Also, the third floor is not open to the public. The ceremony will start at 2 p.m. on the second floor&nbsp;and will be conducted in the Foyer of Meditation (see map on the attached document). Parking at the Baylor campus near the library is limited so we have arranged a "trolley" to take you from the parking lot at the reception venue (called&nbsp;Anthem Stories located at&nbsp;800 Austin Ave, Waco, TX 76701&nbsp;<a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/oMCca1sKCu2XcUhw6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://maps.app.goo.gl/oMCca1sKCu2XcUhw6</a>)&nbsp;to the ceremony venue and back again.&nbsp;If possible, please park at the&nbsp;Anthem Stories&nbsp;parking lot&nbsp;and take the trolley to Armstrong Browning and then back to the Anthem Stories after the ceremony to the reception.&nbsp;The Trolley will run from 1- 4 p.m (or from 1 until everyone has left the library). When you arrive at the parking lot for the Anthem Stories you&nbsp;may see the sign that&nbsp;indicates that it is a paid lot (see photo below) but there is no need for you to pay, the venue covers that cost.&nbsp;Once you return to the Anthem Stories after the ceremony, enter the door of the Anthem Stories building on the parking lot side and take a left to go downstairs where the reception will be held. There is an elevator located to the left of the door once you enter, if you need one. There are a few handicap parking spots at the Armstrong Library so, if necessary, you may use that area instead of taking the trolley.&nbsp;The handicap parking is located at the back of the library on Speight Road.&nbsp;You will enter in the back door and then take the elevator to the second floor. (If you are not using the handicap area, please enter through the front door, the trolley will drop you off there).
