A YEAR WORTH WAITING
Garrison actually asked me on our first date a year before we actually began dating! He always says he waited an entire year to take me out.
JUST THE RIGHT MOMENT
The night we got engaged was the BEST night. Garrison planned everything while I was casually getting ready for a date night in Longview. Little did I know, Cydni (Cydni Lauren Photography) had been hiding behind a hay bale in our pasture, just waiting to catch the moment. Garrison was adamant on showing me a new calf that had just been born before we left for our date night, and I was SO confused, wondering why it couldn’t wait until the next day. We pulled in the pasture to look, where Garrison quickly handed me a note. Then I knew. We got out of the truck, and he popped the question. He had an ear tag in his hand reading “ME,” while the “new calf” (that was indeed not a new calf) was wearing a tag reading “MARRY.” It was the sweetest idea ever in my book. To make it even better, all of our friends and family were waiting at an engagement party at my parents’ house where we celebrated!
LOADS OF FUN
Garrison isn’t much of a dancer, but I was a cheerleader for 16 years of my life, some of which were with my sisters and bridesmaids. So, the girls and I were able to pull off a surprise dance at the wedding, which was so much fun! My sister KK and I choreographed a dance in two days, sent it to the girls, and got our remix (made by Aaron Whitehead) all during the week of the wedding. We never practiced it all together one time, but it turned out PERFECT!
A FAIRY TALE IN REAL LIFE
Our first dance song was truly the definition of the fairy tale that we are living in real life. We danced to “Ain’t Met Us Yet” by Matt Cooper.
AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY
Garrison’s father married us! We loved having him perform the ceremony. It meant so much to us that he did that for us!
