The Crown Jewels

The details matter. Life happens in the details—the day-to-day. Embedded with memories, time, and effort. Igniting chain reactions. Reminding us of why. The little things mean a lot. We fall in love in the details. Erika & Uriel's details are some of my favorite to tell. You can see their love in the small things. From the looks exchanged to sweetly spoken words.

Michelle & Bryce have made their foundation on solid ground. God built a special house of love with Michelle & Bryce. Each nail hammered with respect and loyalty. Each brick laid with happiness, humor, and patience. Each wall painted with warmth and gentleness. Turning their house into a home.

At sunset in front of the most breathtaking ocean views and surrounded by friends, Anthony dropped to his knee and asked Kirsty to be his wife. When you find your life-changing person, things will never be the same. You learn together, take nothing for granted, and feel grounded in chaos. Kirsty & Anthony found life-changing love. Growing sweeter and kinder in the process.

The lights dim. The country band begins strumming their instruments, filling the room with a captivating melody. You sway back and forth to the beat, humming every note. Feeling a tap on your shoulder, you turn around. "Would you like to dance?" With a sparkle in your eye, you grab their hand, and beeline to the dance floor. Melting into each other's grip, you float across the floor until the song drifts away. This is how Catherine & Matt's love story started.

Great relationships are much like recipes. When you find all the right measurements of ingredients, you want to share it with your friends so they can take delight and happiness in the same experience. Hannah & Taylor have one of those relationships.

Eden & Ethan's love has taken on many forms over the years. Their love is much like their diamond, multi-faceted, beautiful in the sun's light or overcast snowy clouds. In July 2016, their romance came upon them like an unexpected lightning bolt, that lit up the rest of their lives. But it has been slowly building over time becoming real and supportive and genuine.

There are friends, and then there are best friends. They ultimately become the family that we choose. They know all of the good and the bad (probably because they lived through it with us). They accept us for who we are and STILL CHOOSE to love us unconditionally. 

Mike & Lexi grew up in cities around Waco that are about 20 miles apart, where everybody knew everyone. Even though they never met, Mike and Lexi knew of each other because they went to rival high schools. Fast-forward to a couple of years ago, when Mike met Lexi at George's Restaurant. This is where their story begins. 

Gadbois Jewelry embraces their tagline of Timeless Elegance, by designing pieces of jewelry that are for everyday wear. Gadbois Jewelry established by a mother-daughter team was formed in 2014 by Frances Gadbois and daughter, Charlotte. This dynamic duo is one of the many reasons my mother and I love this jewelry company.
