We're getting married!

Dallas and Elissa’s love story is nothing short of magical, a testament to fate’s perfect timing. Their paths first crossed in high school, during their junior year. Though their meeting seemed long overdue, it felt as though the universe had always planned for them to find each other at that exact moment. The spark began at a bonfire, but it truly ignited earlier, at an Exxon gas station, where Dallas first laid eyes on Elissa. So certain of their connection, he confidently turned to his friends and said, “I’m going to make her mine.” And he did. For Elissa, it was a moment of pure magic. When their eyes met, it was as if the world stood still, and she felt those familiar butterflies—the kind you only read about in fairy tales. From that moment on, their lives were forever intertwined. Over the next two years, they grew closer, their love blossoming with each passing day. When Elissa went off to college at Texas Tech, the distance couldn’t break the bond they shared. They reunited, and soon after, they discovered they were expecting a beautiful baby girl. The news of their growing family only deepened their connection, and right after they found out about their daughter, Dallas found a perfect home for them to begin their next chapter together. In April of that same year, after years of dreaming about this moment, Dallas proposed to Elissa, and with a heart full of love, she said yes. They decided to wait to marry until their daughter could be part of their special day, a symbol of the love they had built together. Six years later, surrounded by memories of their journey, they are finally ready to say their vows. The love they share is deep and unwavering, built on trust, joy, and the kind of connection that can’t be broken. As they stand at the beginning of their forever, it’s clear that this is only the beginning of their beautiful story—one where their love grows stronger every day, and their happily ever after is just the start of a lifetime of dreams coming true.
