We're Getting Married!

They met one evening when Moriah's former roommate Jordan Everett asked her to join a dinner date at Salty Senoritas in Old Town, Scottsdale. Moriah was heistant because she had just worked a long shift and was extremely hangry. After Jordan explained that she would feel awkard for her date's third wheel, Moriah agreed to meet with them after her shift. Little did she know that this third wheel would be a handsome country boy from a small town in Kentucky. For the next couple days the two hungout and got to know each other a little better. But, it soon came to Moriah's attention that Chandler would soon be leaving to go home to Kentucky just 4 days after meeting him. After a month and a half of constant facetiming, Moriah went to visit Chandler in Kentucky. When she got to his family home on The Hill she was greeted with 4 GOLDEN RETRIEVERS! Now if you know the bride you know that animals are the true way to her heart... and of course meeting the whole Dotson/Shepherd clan was a plus :) Chandler made special plans at the Natural Bridge National Park where he booked a cabin in the mountains, both the Bride and Groom will tell you this is where and when they fell in love. After Moriah went back to Arizona Chandler made the drast decision to follow her there until baseball season began and the two have been inseperable since.

Throughout baseball season Moriah usually will come to see Chandler once a month. This time the team was on the road in Buffalo, New York. Moriah had been working for an adoption agency at the time and the trip before had to be cancelled due to conflict with Moriah's job and timing of the trip. So this trip was very spur of the moment and only lasted 4 days. But Moriah had it set in her mind the two would have to make it to see Niagara Falls. Now if you know baseball life you know that there is VERY limited time to go do anything while there are games and practice all day. So with that in mind Moriah began planning their day to go to the Falls very early and get back just in time for Chandler to report. Moriah had no idea what Chandler had up his sleeve he was even clever enough to give Moriah a hard time about wanting to go so bad. When the two arrived Moriah was all jacked up on caffeine and the beautiful place they were lucky enough to experience together. When Chandler felt he had found the perfect spot right next to the main waterfall he grabbed Moriah, made her put her phone away and began telling her how much she meant to him. To her complete surprise he got down on one knee and asked her to be his forever. Moriah of course immediately said yes, still in shock she asked him "Is this real life?!?" Luckily it was real life and now, we are so honored to have you all come to celebrate our love on such a special day.
