Due to COVID-19, the wedding plans have changed a few times over the course of this year but we have decided on a new plan are excited to share it with you. We have decided to move forward with an intimate wedding here in Dallas, TX. With limitations on number of guests, for those unable to attend, we look forward to celebrating with you all in the future as Mr & Mrs.!
The story of how we met is pretty short and sweet, thanks to the good ole dating app 'Hinge'. Steph decided to brave her first ever date from one of the apps after Brad was ever so sweet (& persistent ;) ) at a local Sushi spot on Sunday night. They hit it off from the bat and Steph came home to her 'cousin' Kaitlin and said "I'd definitely go on another date with him :)" and the rest is history. The Proposal 3 and 1/2 years after that lovely first date, Brad had planned the big day. Steph's dad Matt was in town for the 4th of July and Brad had planned a whole outing with Matt, Steph, and some friends (Steph loves when Brad makes a plan ! :) ). The outing started with the them showing Matt White Rock Lake and "Floyd's Dock", Steph's favorite place in Dallas and then meeting some friends for lunch at a cute spot up in Addison. In the morning Brad tried to be considerate and recommended Steph wear 'something cute' for lunch to which Steph rudely laughed and said 'why would I wear something cute to walk Floyd'. Brad tried but didn't want to give anything away so conceded after Steph threw her hair up in a braid and put on some workout clothes. Brad, Steph and the dog Floyd, picked up Matt (to which Steph noted "even my dad dressed up") and headed to White Rock. They got to Steph's favorite spot and Steph requested a photo with her dad and Floyd, then one with Brad. Then, Brad turned around, grabbed her hand, and proposed <3 :) (with Floyd looking for the yes too). Steph was in complete shock and was so happy that she almost fell off the dock when jumping with happiness ! It was a great moment and then they went to lunch with friends where Steph's mom Judy surprised her by being in town! Then Steph's brother Mike, sister Sarah, and Brad's grandma Sue all flew in and joined in the celebration! The week continued to be filled with happiness, celebration, and love! It could not have been more perfect :) <3
