K + J
Meet Kenzie + Jack! Two of the most fun people to celebrate hands down! I don’t think we’ve ever favorited as many dancing photos as we did from their gallery! (shoutout to Collette Joy Photo for capturing all the magic! ✨) We just loved being a part of this day! It had all of our favorite things - a puff sleeve wedding dress, pink wedding decor, our brand new Piper Arches, and even some cotton candy!
Here’s how they met - “TINDER!! Gotta love the dating apps. It was really strange though.. we both went to the same tiny college and never once ran into each other until after he graduated. We met on Tinder and then started dating.. a few months in, Jack decided to go to grad school at UNT; I followed him to TX after I finished my undergrad in Missouri. We moved to Fort Worth and he proposed 8 months later. :)”
We truly believe with our whole heart that we have the best couples in the world! We love to hear what drew them to choosing us - “There was no doubt in my mind that I NEEDED to have our wedding at The Emerson. Once I saw photos online, I was hooked. I told Jack that I didn't want to look at any other venue. From the chapel, to the light and airy reception with an outdoor dance floor... my heart was set. Oh! and the sweetest ladies EVER!!”
We loved getting to hear some insight of how K was feeling throughout her big day! This is our prayer for all of our couples - that they would feel a sense of peace on their wedding day! Here’s what K had to say - “The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect. I know that sounds so cliche, but I have always been such an anxious person. The morning of the wedding, I woke up and felt such peace. No worries, no anxiety, just completely relaxed. Not at ALL what I thought I'd feel. At one point, my best friend/matron of honor looked at me and said, "Kenz, there's no reason for you to worry. You're at peace because this is the person you're supposed to be with." After the wedding, I was telling my mom how I was not expecting for the day to feel so easy. My mom replied with something very similar, "That's how every wedding is supposed to feel. Not all of them do, but I know God had His hand in this one. That's why you felt that way." I couldn't have said it better myself. All the planning, coordinating, contracts, building up to the big day was so far from what the day is actually about. This day was the day I got to marry my best friend, the person I had been praying for my whole life.
One of the most special parts of the day was during our ceremony. Jack and I were able to say private vows in front of our closest family and friends. Jack and I really aren't ones to get in front of a crowd and talk... especially when it comes to sentimental gushy stuff ;) We also didn't want to miss out on saying our own personalized vows, either. Having an intimate moment, where it felt like it was just the two of us, was so special. The rest of the night was exactly what I had envisioned since I was little. LOTS of dancing on an outdoor patio under twinkly lights.. It was the best night of my life!”
When it comes to wedding planning, even for those that love the aspect of piecing together so many details, it can get overwhelming + stressful really fast! K’s advice really helps put all that stress into perspective! At the end of the day, you’re marrying the love of your life + that’s all that matters! So, make the most of it! “My biggest piece of advice is to make decisions based on what you and your significant other want. At the end of the day, it's about you two. Have fun, enjoy the moment, throw some heart shaped party glasses on, and take the dance floor with your BRAND NEW SPOUSE!!! Your day will go by SO fast. Do what will make YOU happy!”
Congratulations again K + J! We loved being a part of your BEST DAY EVER! Your vision came together in the most beautiful + magical way! We couldn’t have dreamt up a more perfect day! A big thank you goes to all the vendors who executed all the details + made this day happen! Be sure to check out the whole team below!
