Samantha & Luke Branscum October 13, 2018

L

uke and I met through a mutual friend back in the fall of 2010. He was attending UCA in Conway and I was pursuing my dream of cosmetology in Fort Smith. After a few months of dating, distance was no longer an option and Luke started transitioning to being in Fort Smith more permanently. He settled into a job as I finished school and started doing hair full time. We moved into a house, took on the responsibility of two precious dogs and before we knew it, five years had passed. Luke and I spent many summers at my parents lake house at Lake Ouachita. It was always my favorite getaway as a child and Luke knew the special place it held in my heart. On May 29, 2016 we were coming in from a long day on the lake and my parents had stopped the boat to enjoy the sunset on the water. As we were enjoying the sunset, Luke got down on one knee and asked the question that I had been waiting on for years. Of course the answer was “YES�!


Much like the rest of our relationship, we had a long two year engagement and really enjoyed every stage of our life together. We toured The Ravington and I knew I didn’t want to look any further. It was the perfect amount of texture that we had dreamt of. I wanted a timeless, romantic feel to our wedding, so we included candles and hints of gold throughout. I also wanted to incorporate details into our wedding that were unique to us. Two years into our relationship, we started going to the fair to get caricatures made. We continued our tradition for six years and decided it would be a special touch to add to our wedding. Teresa was able to capture yet another step in our relationship, as well as so many of our loved ones during our special day. My favorite aspects of bringing my wedding vision to life were having Jessica Kersey as my planner and my best friend as my florist. Jessica made sure the stress of planning was off my shoulders and truly gave me the experience of a lifetime and I can never thank her enough. And then there’s my sweet Leah, who is the most creative person I have in my life. It was an honor to watch her create florals that were works of art. Being my best friend, she knew exactly what I wanted before I even knew. We were married on October 13th, 2018. Our wedding was romantic, intimate and had unique touches of us and our life that we had built together. It felt like us, and that was our goal. It played out perfectly in such a beautiful way.

*CoolSculpting® is the treatment doctors used most for non-invasive fat removal. Results and patient experience may vary. USES The CoolSculpting® procedure is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental (under the chin) and submandibular (under the jawline) areas, thigh, abdomen and flank, along with bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks (also known as banana roll) and upper arm. It is also FDA-cleared to affect the appearance of lax tissue with submental area treatments. The CoolSculpting® procedure is not a treatment for weight loss. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION The Cool Sculpting® procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting® procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. Tell your doctor if you have any medical conditions including recent surgery, pre-existing hernia, and any known sensitivities or allergies. During the procedure you may experience sensations of pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, and cramping at the treatment site. These sensations subside as the area becomes numb. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin sensitivity, and sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after submental or submandibular area treatment. Rare side effects may also occur. CoolSculpting® may cause a visible enlargement in the treated area which may develop two to five months after treatment and requires surgical intervention for correction. Please see full Important Safety Information at coolsculpting.com
