Ours is not a love story told in straight lines. We met in 2001, grew up in parallel, and circled back to one another across decades of friendship. What began as quiet companionship became something rooted, intentional, and alive. Our love deepened not in grand gestures, but in ordinary magic — feeding animals at dusk, fixing fences, building spaces for healing and joy. The land has been our teacher. The horses, our mirrors. And this community — our heart. ⸻ The Proposal On a misty May weekend in Eureka Springs, we proposed to each other — rings exchanged under moss-covered trees, candles lit for what we’re creating: something reciprocal, sacred, and a little wild. It wasn’t flashy. But it was honest. And wholly us. ⸻ Why This Wedding We’re not just throwing a party. We’re opening our home and hearts to honor what love can become when it’s given time, care, and freedom to grow. This day is a thank-you. To the land. To each other. To all of you who’ve walked with us. We can’t wait to celebrate — boots on rocky ground, stars overhead, and joy all around.
