Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

Ceremony

Reception

After telling people for weeks we were just friends we decided to give dating a try. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings in The Woodlands. After we went to Barnes and Noble to browse books. We ended the night walking along the waterway just talking about random topics.

First Date

In 2016, after Sam finished grad school. She had an offer to work at Dow Chemical Company in Midland, Michigan. While Sam didn't ask Empire to follow her across the country, he was more than willing to leave Texas (and whataburger) to be with the girl he loves.

Moving Across the Country

We got all dolled up to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We went Gratiz, an Italian restaurant in Midland, for dinner. The food was amazing. After we finished dinner and dessert Empire came around the table and got down on one knee and asked Sam to spend the rest of their lives together. She cried and said yes! 

Fun fact: there was a large party and a Good Samaritan realized Empire was proposing and took photos of the event.
