Their wedding day arrived on April 20, 2013 and after all the planning and hard work the wedding turned out to be gorgeous! The weather was perfect and the scenery was stunning. The guests were seated in the front yard and enjoyed the view of Shoemaker Hill
Ranch as they looked out over a green pasture with a lake and several beautiful oak trees. The reception was enjoyed in the big back yard with lots of tasty treats, including hand dipped Blue Bell Ice Cream and dancing.
