Once their families changed their mind about eloping, they had to decide where to host their wedding. Joey is from Oklahoma and Stephanie is from California, so their families weren’t in the same location. So, if people were going to have to travel for the wedding, they wanted their guests to travel to a fun location that had a lot to offer. Then it hit them – New Orleans.
Weddings
Caitlin and Deryk were supposed to marry the weekend after the world shut down for COVID. They waited it out another 6 months to be able to have the wedding of their dreams with all of their friends and family at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.
Abby was reporting on a 2A playoff baseball game in May of 2019. The team she was covering came back from a 9-1 deficit and scored 8 runs in the bottom of the 7th. She was filming and updating on Twitter and the game was retweeted by other reporters in Dallas and Waco. Derek saw one of the posts and followed Abby on Twitter. She followed him back! He immediately messaged her and their relationship started from there! (Side note: they have very differing, very humorous stories on how quick the “follow back” was). They became “official” on June 15, 2019.

New York City means so much to us as a couple, it is where we went on our first date, got engaged, and have spent so many incredible nights together. Chris having played for the New York Giants and me growing up in the Tri State area, we couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect city to host our guests. Tribeca Rooftop was the most amazing wedding venue for our quintessential New York City event. It blended our Nigerian and Italian cultures beautifully.
Andrea and Spencer met in college at Sam Houston State. Their original venue was not willing to work with them after booking because of Covid, so like many other couples they decided to do something small and private. Their ceremony took place in the Rocky Mountain National Park on a perfect snowy day.
After 5 years, Tristan gave Nicole the biggest surprise of her life when he proposed to her under her favorite tree in the backyard of her childhood home. Nicole told me that the tree had been wiped out by many south Florida hurricanes throughout the years and always managed to grow back taller and stronger. She always thought it was a beautiful metaphor for life, and Tristan saw it as a metaphor for their life together. Today, both Nicole and Tristan agree that even with COVID and all of the difficult things that life threw at them during their engagement, they couldn’t have been more excited to be together forever!
