we're tying the knot

In the fall of 2020 we started following each other on Instagram. (Social media can be pretty great!) What started as a fun follow of a fellow OKC lover turned into Chris sending a DM to invite Mary to attend an event at a local brewery. We didn't connect that night, but fast forward a few months and the social media friendship grew. We were both running businesses and connected on so many things. It was fun to find someone who you clicked so easily with. As we got to know each other we realized we had so many mutual friends and it wasn't a surprise that we became friends. Chris took Mary on their first official date to explore an art gallery and he even brought a plant from a local shop as a gift. The rest is history. We've been making fun memories, dreaming up businesses and content ideas ever since.

If you know us well, then you know we are both planners to the extreme. Calendar invites and family meetings are our love language. So you can imagine the pressure that Chris was feeling (poor guy!) to do the proposal right. Over the last year, our lives had been focused on creating a home that we love. In January of 2024, after returning from a trip to Las Vegas where Mary was CERTAIN he would propose, and Chris was CERTAIN he had to keep her guessing, the perfect moment arrived. Chris popped the question in the most perfect place on earth: our home. He'll tell the story that "Lucky Bird," one of the many beautiful cardinals in our yard, gave him the courage to do the thing on that day. It was intimate, meaningful, and a reflection of the life we've built together. We are so excited to continue this adventure and are thrilled to share this special day with all of you. Thank you for being a part of our story.
