Well this is all about us.... We both live in Louisiana and have been married twice before...I know...talk about gun shy! Lol. Neither of us ever thought we would ever go down that path again! We actually knew each other in high school but didnt hang out together. Now here we are...been together for over 7 years now and still strong as ever! We have 6 kids all combined, with one out on his own...and another starting college. Life has been beautifully chaotic! My FH wanted something different. We have both been married before and he wanted something special and unique. So we decided on a destination wedding! 6 and a half hours away! We are getting married at Dogwood Canyon on a Sunday during Memorial Day Weekend! Lol. We both wanted to have a fun get away vacation with our family and close friends and chose to do it combined with our wedding! I'm sooo very excited but a mess of nerves at same time!

Happily married 🎉
