You wouldn’t think swiping right on a silly app would get you anywhere. But here we are, I got my Prince Charming with calloused hands, a cowboy hat and boots. We had our first date at Fuzzy’s Tacos on March 21, 2021 because Chuy’s was too packed and we were hungry! Shane had just moved back home to Texas from Oklahoma that day, so we just wanted to relax, talk and get to know each other! Then ended the night dancing at Cowboy’s Red River! From that night on, we spent every weekend together, had crazy events like Sorrel (Shane’s red headed horse) bucking me off, causing a seizure after hitting my head, and ending up in the hospital! Hahaha and Shane ended up asking me to be his girlfriend that very same day, April 17th 2021!! Months down the road we found our own home and ranch together, got a few animals (more like a zoo), and still building up our crazy little family a couple years later! Fast forward to February 26th, 2023, we were going to the Stockyards in Fort Worth to celebrate what I thought would be my little sister’s boyfriend’s birthday! But, I couldn’t help but notice Shane was nervous, shaking like a leaf as we were meeting my family for a birthday lunch, and my mom wanting to take pictures galore of us. That’s when Shane began to talk about our crazy adventure we’ve been on together and how much love we had for one another, and shaking to the core got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! Of course I said yes! I cannot wait to marry you Shane Allen Monds! We may not be perfect, but we are perfectly imperfect for each other!

Maid of Honor
Makayla is Ashley’s little sister and partner in crime since she popped out the womb. She is the person anyone can count on to help them in even the most difficult situation. She is the back bone when you feel you don’t have one. And she gives you her honest opinion even when you don’t want to hear it. She would fight tooth and nail for you if someone was trying to hurt you emotionally or physically. She is also a nurse so guess who gets the first call to see if someone should go to the doctor for their horse stomping on their foot or someone falling in the shower and slicing their big toe open?
Bridesmaid
What makes a best friend? Well in my terms, it’s someone who loves animals just as much as you! (Maybe a little more since this woman got a freakin kangaroo!!) Brittany is definitely someone you want in your corner, she’ll always give you a helping hand or will cut a rug with you on the dance floor!
Bridesmaid
There is never a dull moment when it comes to being around Erin. From dancing on the bar tables, to dramatically falling out of the Disney bus. You can always count on her to have a good laugh!
Bridesmaid
Picture this: Freshman year of high school, sitting in Body Mechanics, preparing for Cougarette Try-Outs, which was already crazy enough. Add in the new girl from Virginia and you hit the trifecta of craziness. Of course she had to be my friend and we were inseparable! Fast forward through the years, becoming Cougarettes, kick after kick, high school drama, graduation, college, talking on and off, up until now! She showed up when I asked her, and that's someone you want in your corner!
Bridesmaid
Shelby is the ex-work wife..yeah I said it, she left me for her husband. How rude? Just kidding! But seriously, we both started work at the same time, every day we would have the same routine, but we always managed to make it the best we can with our conversations and jokes. Outside of work, you had better watch out because Shelby Grace can be WILD! At least I didn't have to worry about her talking to strangers...Brittany. She may be sugar and sweet, but mess with her friends and she can be a hot tamale!

Best Man
For 16 years, this goofy, bald headed, loud as heck, beer drinking man has been my best friend. From pantsing each other Sophomore year, those fun summer nights hanging out at the camper, and all the other fun but unspeakable moments(for legal reasons). If you ever need a pick up man, Tim's your guy...as long as it's within Wise county limits.
Groomsman
Need someone to break your horse? Or let’s say the other way around? Ty’s your guy! Not only does this guy know how to ride a horse, he also knows how to milk a bull! Working together on a ranch for 2 years, you go through some things and learn how to redneck a lot of jobs. Wouldn’t change anything about it!
Groomsman
Alex is the guy you call when you want to get things done. Need help putting up a lean-to? Alex is your guy! Need somewhere to ride your horse and watch Ashley fall off her horse? Alex is your guy! Just want to sit down around a bonfire, drink a cold one and just have good conversation? Alex is your guy! He’s definitely the friend you don’t want to lose!
Groomsman
Both Jasper and I have been with the Casillas sisters for almost the same amount of time. Now can we really say who is dating the more crazy one? We don’t want to answer in fear of our lives…just kidding! Jasper has been the friend that you can’t wait to hang out with when you’re going to a party full of people you don’t know but you sure know him! We may get into trouble together, but it is totally worth the laughs we get from it!
Groomsman
Ashley’s little brother was a blessing in disguise. Not only does it feel like I gained a brother of my own, but I gained someone who will take my side when Ashley tells me no! Hahaha!
