TAYLOR & BLAKE FAULK APRIL 9, 2022
B
lake and I first met in third grade at Prairie Grove Elementary School. His family had moved here from Louisiana because of Hurricane Katrina. They had family that lived in Northwest Arkansas, so they grabbed everything they could and got in the car the day before the Hurricane. Thankfully for me, they ended up staying and found their own home in Prairie Grove.
I was excited to give my mom a unique drawing of me, my sister, my mom, and my grandmother all in our wedding dresses.
We dated here and there throughout middle school but remained friends all throughout. We didn’t become official until our senior year of high school and have been together ever since. We dated long-distance for a while when he went off to play football in south Arkansas and I stayed here for college. We went from seeing each other every day, to him living four hours away and busy with football. Times were not easy and it was a major adjustment that we never expected to be so difficult. Through the long phone calls and driving to see each other just a few weekends a month, our relationship grew stronger. Since we had been together for over 6 years, we talked about getting married. The only thing I told him was that I wanted the engagement to be a surprise.
O
ne morning, I was going to my parent’s house to spend some time with them, and he told me he had to go to work. He was acting a little weird, but I didn’t think anything of it. Whenever I pulled up, my mom was acting differently. She kind of steered me towards the backyard, saying she needed to show me something. As I started to make my way to the back of the house, I saw some rose petals on the ground, and I knew exactly what was happening. I made my way around the corner, and underneath the pergola he was standing there smiling. There were multiple flowers, pictures of us hanging up, and rose petals everywhere. My friends and family
were hiding around the corner (they had all parked down the street). It was absolutely perfect. The day of our wedding could not have turned out more beautifully. White River Landing is simple, but elegant. I loved being able to make a grand entrance with the long flight of stairs. The weather was perfect, and everything turned out the way it was supposed to. The whole day and night exceeded my expectations. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so special and perfect for Blake and I. I could’ve never imagined that the blonde-headed boy that I met in elementary school so long ago would end up becoming my husband.
