oreen and Kody were married at Inn at Quarry Ridge on
June 24, 2017. In December of 2015, Kody told Noreen he
wanted to take her to the renowned Aggie Century Tree on the
Texas A&M University campus so his mom could snap some
Christmas pictures of them together. Little did Noreen realize,
this was the moment Kody would ask her to be his wife. He
was so nervous, he accidentally dropped the ring on the
ground right before proposing, but without hesitation, Noreen
said yes.
Soon after proposing the two bought a home together
in Bryan College Station and began their wedding planning
process. Noreen and Kody made a list of their top venues to visit
in the area, one being Inn at Quarry Ridge after recommendation
from a fellow coworker. After visiting a few more locations,
the Inn at Quarry Ridge kept popping back up as the venue
that just felt right for the two to begin their next chapter. They
discuessed the various package options and decided to book the
comprehensive Marble Package.
Once the wedding weekend rolled around, the couple
thoroughly enjoyed having the venue for the entire weekend.
Friday Kody and Noreen hosted a rehearsal dinner on-site
with catering by Smitty K’s. The wedding party was able to
run through their rehearsal twice with music, enjoying fajitas
and margaritas alongside the pool. The soon-to-be newlyweds
and their closest family and friends spent the evening relaxing,
chatting, and swimming. As the evening wrapped up, Noreen and
her bridesmaids were able to stay the night at the Inn and wake
up refreshed on-site, ready to begin the wedding day activities.
The perfectly sunny wedding day soon had a pending rain
storm heading their way. Larry with the Inn consulted with

Noreen and agreed to wait until the absolute last minute before
making the call to move things indoors, in hopes of giving
Noreen her dream outdoor ceremony. Luckily, the rain held off
and one hour prior to the ceremony, the Inn was able to quickly
set the chairs for the blissful outdoor pond-side ceremony.
Following the nuptials, the newlyweds enjoyed a festive
celebration with family and friends in the expansive Great Room
before escaping to their cozy honeymoon suite. In the midst
of all the fun, Noreen and Kody forgot to grab a slice of their
wedding cake. The couple was ecstatic to see that Larry and
Sue had not only provided them with snacks in their suite, but
also had a nice, big slice of their wedding cake waiting for them,
complete with champagne.
The next morning, the bride and groom were able to leisurely
gather their belongings and decor from the wedding before
heading off to brunch with close family as husband and wife. i
