How to Feel Confident on Your Wedding Day

Everyone knows you’ll look beautiful on your wedding day, and there will be many people telling you so, but none of that matters to you—what matters is how you feel. From a fellow soon-to-be bride, I know it’s not always easy to feel confident, even when the ones you love are constantly reminding you of your beauty. That’s why I’ve gathered the best things to remind yourself of when you want to feel confident and beautiful on your dream day. Continue reading "How to Feel Confident on Your Wedding Day" »

Our Story- Rachel & Trent

The Beginning

Trent and I grew up together in Bryant, AR. For years, we went to school together, but never really knew each other. The first conversation I remember having with Trent was in middle school on a bus heading to Texas for a church trip. I had a $2 bill and he offered to trade me for $3. Little did I know, that silly conversation would stay in his memory. Senior year of high school we had several mutual friends, and got to know each other a little better. One night when I was working at Chick-Fil-A, Trent pulled into the drive-through with a large bouquet of flowers and asked me to go to prom with him. I was embarrassed but it was so sweet! I said yes and we went to prom as friends. We started dating soon after that on May 11, 2012. Continue reading "Our Story- Rachel & Trent" »

Our Story- Colton and Hannah

The Beginning
Colton and I grew up in the small town of Piggott and have always known each other through our families. But I remember the first time we talked, I was 5 and he was 8. Him and his grandpa brought a donkey to my house. Of course, I was following Colton around because I thought he was cool. The only thing he said was, “They have big ears don’t they?,” talking about the donkey.  We started dating my junior year of high school, and the rest is history!

Our Story – Conner & Blaire

The Beginning
It all started a few years ago at an event called Greek Week at Arkansas State University. As I was leaving the event a blue-eyed babe casually said, "Hey," as I walked by. I cautiously said, "Hey," back because I was unsure if he was speaking to me. Later that night someone with the name of mconner_5 added me on Snapchat and we started to snap almost everyday. A few weeks after Greek Week my big sister in my sorority, Madison Caldwell and her boyfriend set us all up to all hang out! I was so excited and anxious but it went great! After that Conner and I went on our official first date to see Spider Man.

The Proposal 
Conner and I had plans to go on a normal date night but when I got in the car I knew something was up. He told me the plans had changed a little bit and said that I couldn't ask any questions. He started handing me cards with little clues as to where we were going! We went and got my favorite candy, then shopped for a little bit, got some ice cream and then the next card said we were going home and getting ready for dinner! When we pulled into my driveway I had to close my eyes and was told to get on Conner's back! He carried me to my backyard… There were pink petals leading to a beautiful gazebo lit up with string lights. We sat down and he told me he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I happily said YES and we went to celebrate with family and friends!

 

Happily Ever After
Conner and I got married on June 11th! We had our wedding outside at Central Baptist Church in Jonesboro, AR. It was an amazing day that I will remember for the rest of my life!

Our Story – Wilton and Tilda

The Beginning
Wil and I met on the track team at Arkansas State University. With the prettiest brown eyes and kindness like no one else, I liked him from the start. Before we started dating I remember that he asked me to come along on a John Mayer concert two months before it even took place. I, not trying to get my hopes up, assumed we were just going as friends. When the concert came around we had been on dates and not soon after that concert we were dating. Now we’ve been together for almost 2.5 years and we’ve had a lot of fun along the way.

Our Story – Rebecca & Jack

The Beginning
Jack and I met at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, AR. He was dateless for his Sigma Chi formal sophomore year. I was a freshmen looking for a date and I was in the right place at the right time.

One night when we were sitting in my friend Ashley’s room and there was a knock on her door. I answered it and one of Jack’s friends was standing in the hallway with a card that read, “Come to the hallway.” I walked down the hallway to see Jack standing with a large bouquet of flowers and a sign with the question, “Will you go to formal with me?” Of course I said YES!

Our Story – Seth and Megan Alkire

Seth and I actually grew up together at First Southern Baptist Church but never really knew each other! He was the drummer for the youth band and I knew I loved him when I saw that shaggy hair. We started dating in 2011 and got engaged September 3, 2015!

Our proposal is one of my favorites… We had been talking about getting married soon so I knew it was coming up. He wanted to throw me a birthday dinner but I hated having attention only on me so I thought it would be perfect to invite my best friend Kelsey to be a part of it too since her birthday was only a few days away! I was excited because now it would be a birthday dinner party for both of us.
