Austin. He was the first to use the "L" word... but Noelle fell harder.
Austin - "The first date, for sure. From the very beginning, Noelle was caring, considerate, gentle, kind, loving and very sweet. It was very important to her that she made me feel comfortable and I respect that greatly. Not many people take that into account when meeting someone. I thought it was super cute that she brought me flowers, because I never had someone do that before. After the first date, I definitely wanted to keep talking and get to know her more and make her mine. She's a delight to be around and I'm so honored and privileged to be getting married to her. I love her dearly." Noelle - "Also the first date. I thought it was sweet I got to make HIM feel so special. I went to his house to pick him up, I brought him flowers, and I made him realize how important he is to me. I didn't want him to get to the end of our date with any uncertainties about my feelings for him. We went to Cribbs Kitchen, walked around downtown Spartanburg, went to the Spice and Tea Exchange, went to a local park (which I was promised ducks would be at and they WEREN'T!). I was completely head over heels before I even got the courage to ask him out."
Originally, we wanted October 21st, which is the anniversary of when we started dating. (Unofficially it was about a month before that... but that was when we were friends and talking all day long, every day. Every minute we were not at work or sleeping we were texting or talking on the phone... we became best friends before our first date) BUT it works better for traveling family and friends to do it on the following Saturday...the 24th of October. We just wanted to have as many people join us on our day that wanted to join. After all, we are all going to be family.
Yes! Kids are always welcome to be a part of our wedding celebration. There is plenty of space to run around and get out all the wiggles and kiddo zoomies.
We want a very causal vibes environment. we aren't the fancy kind of people. The vibes we are thinking for our wedding and reception is more like family BBQ... We are getting married at Austin's parents' house, with our friends and families. It is going to be a causal atmosphere... kids running around, smiling faces, lots of laughter and even more love.
Please! We want to make sure everyone feels welcome at our wedding and reception.
The dress code is business casual, be comfortable... just know there is a chance that you MIGHT end up in pictures at some point throughout our celebration. And please, don't wear white.
We hope to have everything set up and ready to go by 2:30 with plenty of time for Noelle to get ready...fingers crossed
Please RSVP by July 31st, 2026.
