thrown in the mix... Including the groom losing his pants (Yes, he lost his pants for real!) the poor preacher's truck broke down so the groom (who has no pants) and a groomsman had to go find him, a snake under a table, and a little venue issue. But these love birds pushed past all this and enjoyed themselves. I had a blast and an so glad they chose me to capture their day! Their story is below in their own words. Our Story....
Our story starts out just like many others, we met each other by chance though our paths had crossed many times. At first there was a struggle, Ronnie pretty much was in pursuit of Austin. She was busy working and planning for School and he was working too. But Ronnie eventually won her over. They settled for a dinner of Chinese food… That went on to be dinner, then Cabela’s then Bass Pro then to a second dinner with Ronnie’s cousin Mark and his family.
We went on many fishing trips, dinners and even the zoo, both falling more and more for each other as the time went on. We kept talking about family, marriage and kids. But the struggles were still ahead. Ronnie went through job changes and eventually went back to school to continue his education. Austin enrolled in nursing school. There were days and weeks that we didn’t see each other. The only thing keeping us together was quick phone calls and “I love you". But as time went on even this was a strong point. The relationship grew and quality time became so important to us both.
Then time came when Ronnie decided to pop the question. But in keeping with tradition even this was a struggle. Austin had picked out the exact ring she wanted over a year earlier… Ronnie wrote down the item number and when the time came he set out to get it. Turns out there was only one left in the country by that designer. So he waited for it to come in. With only three days left the ring came in… Damaged, almost unrecognizable. Luckily the ring got repaired and picked up the day of the planned proposal. As they say the rest is history.
