Eden Young and Kyle White

HOW IT ALL BEGAN
We actually both grew up living three minutes away from each other and attended the same high school; however, we didn’t meet until we were both in college at Texas Tech University. We met at a party at Kyle’s fraternity after my sister told me to look out for her friend’s “cool older brother,” Kyle. We started dating about two weeks later and have been by each other’s side ever since.
DREAMS DO COME TRUE
Our proposal was incredibly special and incredibly surprising! Kyle proposed at his grandparents’ beautiful home in Austin just after we had dinner with my family. I truly had no idea it was coming, so when we walked into the backyard fully illuminated by hundreds of candles and flowers everywhere, I was shocked! He then played a video that showed photos of us throughout our relationship and ended it down on one knee! A moment I’ll never forget!
THE CELEBRATION OF A LIFETIME
Our wedding was held just outside of Austin, the weekend after Thanksgiving. It was perfect timing because all of our friends and family were already in town for the holidays, so it felt like the celebration lasted all week!
MAGICAL MOMENTS
Something unique about our ceremony is that I actually did a reverse entrance. Since we got married on the stairs outside of the chapel, I came from the inside of the chapel, instead of down the aisle. We had the chapel fully illuminated with candles, which made for the most magical moment!
EAT, DRINK, DANCE, AND BE MARRIED
We both love live music, so the entertainment was super important to us. We had over 25 musicians play all different genres throughout the weekend. We had Jordan Young, a finalist from “The Voice,” play at our “Welcome to Texas”-themed rehearsal dinner and welcome party, a string quartet and grand piano played our ceremony, and a jazz trio delighted the guests during cocktail hour. The incredibly talented Katie Boeck and her band played for our dinner and first dance, and we wrapped up the night with DJ Chris Clouse, who plays along with drums, a rhythm section, and a string quartet. I think this was everyone’s favorite part of the night!
