who. what. when. where. why.

Question

Wait - didn't they just get engaged a couple months ago?

Answer

Why yes, yes they did. 4 months to be exact. They figured, why not? 2020 has been a rollercoaster thus far, might as well finish it up with a bang!

Question

They got married? We weren't invited. Where did it happen? Who was there?

Answer

Well, there were 4 total attendees. 2 of them being the bride and groom. The other 2 were the photographer (Taylor) and the officiant (Brandon). They got married out at McKinney Falls, at sunset. It was 100 degrees but they couldn't have been happier with their micro wedding decision.

Question

Married after a 4 month engagement? What was the rush?

Answer

Technically, there was no rush. They could have waited, but why? They already made the decision to get married, so they decided to pull the trigger. She always wanted something very small - no big fuss. Doesn't like to be the center of attention. And he was down for the ride.

Question

Hmmm... are they 'expecting'?

Answer

Gah - no. With the quick wedding and surprise announcement it might seem that way, but no, no babies on the way!

Question

Are they going to have a 'real' wedding?

Answer

The short answer is no, probably not. IF the world decides to go back to normal one day, they're thinking of throwing a party on their anniversary for friends and family. They'd love to be able to celebrate their love surrounded by their favorite people, one day.

Question

August 25th. A Tuesday. Does that day hold any significance?

Answer

Now it does! But there is a story behind it. He had said since college that he wanted to get married on August 25th. There are exactly 4 months between his birthday (April 25th, the day he proposed) their anniversary (August 25th) and Christmas (December 25th). This makes their OCD-ness extremely happy. She didn't care what date - she just wanted him to remember. This way he has no excuse (he still thinks they met on June 10th - ugh. It was June 7th!).

Question

Are they registered? Do we have to get them something since they didn't have a wedding?

Answer

They are registered, but they do not expect anything from anyone. They just wanted everyone to know the full story! They are ecstatic to have so much support from everyone, near and far, during this time.

Question

Petersen, huh. Is she going to change her name?

Answer

Yeah! They've heard changing a name is quite a task, but it's in the works.

Question

Are they going to go on a honeymoon?

Answer

They LOVE to travel, and can't wait to celebrate their life together with a full on excursion. Until then, they plan to take the pup on a weekend trip to the beach and enjoy their time together.
