Wendy & Ty
Wedding Party
Wendy
Bride
From Ty... My beautiful bride-to-be is my best friend and one the kindest, most loving people in the world. I feel blessed every day that she”s chosen me to be her fiancé. We have so much fun together! We spend our time talking and laughing and going on adventures. Everything we do, from cooking to chores, shopping to camping, is better when we’re together. She’s smart, funny, loving and kind. She’s a talented professional, and an amazing baker! She is a wonderful Mom to her son Zack, and she loves my son Joey. Everyone that knows her tells me that I’m a lucky guy... and they’re right! We’re nerds of a feather that are better together! She loves me better than anyone I’ve ever known and I will spend the rest of my days loving her and protecting her heart.

Groom
From Wendy... My husband-to-be makes me feel blessed every day. He is my best friend, my partner in crime, my adventure buddy, and everything that I didn't even know was missing in my life. He makes me laugh daily, he challenges me to be my best, and he always has my back. He is kind, has a huge heart, is an avid reader, is a bit nerdy, is hilarious, so smart, and I think in a word...amazing. He is an incredible dad to Joey, and loves Zack. He strives to care for the people in his life and has always loved me so well. We are better together and make a great team. I can't wait to walk by his side for the rest of my days.
Zack
Man of Honor
This day would not be complete, without our amazing, soon-to-be 18-year-old by our side. He will be a Senior at Coronado High School in the fall. He is so funny, wicked smart, a bit of a nerd, has a huge heart, and has big plans in life. He also has a few party tricks up his sleeve, is an ametuer magician, and plays the harp, the ukulele, and the guitar. He is even a black belt in karate.
Joey
Best Man
Having this incredible 16-year-old by our side, makes this day even better. He is enrolled in an early college program and is currently pursuing his Associates Degree and High School Diploma. He is super smart, also super fun, and our nerdy little family wouldn't be complete without him. Joey is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet and has a heart of gold. He is a budding artist, a black belt in Taekwondo and is also a talented musician and especially excels on the keyboard.
Dr. Al Draper
Officiant
We are so blessed, that this dear man will be marrying us. Al is Wendy and Zack's uncle. He has served in ministry for over 61 years and is currently the Interim Executive Director of the Collin Baptist Association. He and our Aunt Linda are such a beautiful example of love, kindness, and faithfulness. We hope that our marriage will be filled with the same love and care that they demonstrate to one another. We are so grateful that they are part of our special day.
Ginger
Flower Dog
This pretty little girl may be the happiest dog you will ever meet. She has a big bark, but it's just to let people know she's there and to alert us of potential dangers like the elephant statue at the mini golf place. After all, she takes her job of protecting her family very seriously. She loves to cuddle and play with toys, with us, and with Stella. Mostly, she loves being her Mom's travel buddy and snuggling with her boy.
Stella
Flower Dog
This little ball of love won't look you in the eye, but she will be the first to want to cuddle. She is protective of her pack, keeps track of where everyone is, and always likes to be in the middle of the action. She loves her family, chewing on her bones, and playing with us and Ginger. Mostly, she loves getting in the car with her dad to join in on the next adventure.
