Brock and I had been going to the same church for years, but we did
not really know each other until we started dating in August of 2017. It
didn’t take us long to realize that God had brought us together in perfect
timing and that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. Only
eight months later, in April 2018, Brock took me to the house he had
just bought, that would eventually become our home together. There
was a pathway of rose petals leading to the middle of the living room
where he dropped down on one knee and asked me to marry him.
We set our wedding date for March 23, 2019 and got to planning!
I wasn’t very picky about much, but I was definitely picky about the
venue. I knew I did not want a barn wedding and everywhere I liked was
either not in the budget or too far away. While researching I happened
upon a venue that was still in the works, Oak Meadow Event Center. Just
looking at the sketches of the future venue, I knew it would be perfect!
After the venue was booked, everything else was a breeze. The day of
the wedding was absolutely perfect.
The ceremony could not have run any smoother. Something special I will
always remember is our unity ceremony. We did the traditional candle
lighting ceremony and then Brock prayed over us with “Reckless Love”
being sung in the background.
We spent the rest of the night with friends and family at our reception.
It was such a great day and it will always be my favorite! ❤
