We first met online (shout-out Bumble), and after only two dates, we somehow decided a road trip together was a good idea (yes, slightly crazy, but it worked!). That trip took us out west, where Blaine, the nerdy geologist, got to show off all his favorite spots, while I tried to keep up and pretend that I totally understood rocks. Our first big adventure was Valentine’s Day in Valentine, TX (yes, that’s a real place, and yes, it’s adorable). Not long after, we went back to West Texas for the Terlingua Chili Cook-off, one of the happiest, spiciest, and most unforgettable weekends of our lives. From that point on, West Texas became our thing. Road trips, stargazing, sunsets that stop you in your tracks, and somehow every vacation ended with us exploring this magical, quirky, and beautiful part of Texas. So it only makes sense that we get married here. Terlingua is part of our story, our adventures, and now it will be the place where we start the next chapter. We can’t wait to be surrounded by our favorite people in our favorite place. Viva!
