My dad always tells me that the best thing to come out of my soccer career was meeting Shelly. And, well, he's not wrong. Shelly’s from Dallas, I’m from Houston, and soccer led both of us to this small town is West Texas called Snyder. Our first meeting? Let's just say it was... memorable. Finishing each other's sentences, saying the same thing at the exact same time – we were either soulmates or just really, really weird. I think we both walked away slightly terrified but completely enamored. Seriously though, meeting Shelly changed everything. We hung out once, and she became the absolute best part of my life. I was hooked. Her smile? Forget about it. Those dimples? Deadly. And the way her eyes close shut when she laughs? Pure magic. We conquered the long-distance thing (a true test of love), she moved to Houston, we both got our degrees (adulting, we did it!), bought a house (with a yard big enough for our two furry monsters), and now, here we are! But the best part of our story? All of you. We're so incredibly lucky to have the most amazing friends and family, and we can't imagine celebrating this milestone without you. So please join us as we officially tie the knot and celebrate our love with the people we love most. You've all played a part in getting us to this special day, and we're beyond grateful for each and every one of you. Hope to see you there! -JC
