Second Time Is The Charm
Casey, a financial analyst and Gregory, a software-training manager, met through Greg’s cousin. Four years later, Casey was a bridesmaid in the same cousin’s wedding and that was the weekend when Casey and Greg’s story truly began. One weekend Greg took Casey to the Houston Museum of science and History and had a nice dinner. The next day they went to the Houston Zoo and lunch at Ruggles Green. Later that day, Casey walked into a room to find Greg on one knee. He said, “weekends like these are the ones I want to have forever.”
Casey chose their wedding location before it was even built, “The Carriage House” in Conroe. At the Bridal Extravaganza, she found her florist and linen company. Friends and family received wooden invitations with Casey and Greg’s engagement picture stained on the wood. They prayed for a beautiful day and got it. The wedding was set along a creek with big beautiful trees as the backdrop. at 5:09pm on May 9, 2015, Casey walked through the big wooden gates and down the aisle in a gorgeous Winnie Couture gown.trees as the backdrop. at 5:09pm on May 9,

Back in the beautiful wooden reception hall, appetizers and drinks were passed and guests enjoyed a full buffet. They had a s’mores wedding cake and golf cupcakes for the groom by Holly Mosley. The signature drink was the bride’s own recipe, a Sandía (watermelon) margarita. Casey and Greg honeymooned on the big island in Hawaii.

Bride's Advice
“Stay true to yourself! Your wedding, above all, is for you and your closest friends and family. You can’t please everyone, so just make sure you do what makes you happy so when you look back, it is truly your most “memorable” day.
Another piece of advice I can give is to stay calm, and have organizational systems. I made lists and set reasonable goals each month of things I wanted to accomplish. This helped break out the wedding planning into clear steps, instead of looking at it as one giant event, which can become overwhelming.”
