When Marie first emailed me she described herself as a "small town girl meets big city east coast boy." She's originally from Lubbock and she met Brett, the man that would become her husband, while in the Air Force. On the 2,564th day of their relationship (I didn't do that math), they became husband and wife. 

It doesn't get more real than Marie and Brett. 

One of the best parts of their wedding day at McPherson Cellars in Lubbock, Texas was during the toasts. Instead of traditional toasts, a family member decided to read letters that the bride and groom had written to each other before their wedding. The truth and love in their words to each other ensured that there was not a dry eye in the room. 

Their wedding day was simple, intimate, and amazing in every way.
