Meet Spencer and Cheyenne Jackson. They tied the knot on January 7th, 2017 at the historic Allen House in Marlin, Texas. The Allen House was built in 1911 by Dr. Walter Hanz Allen and his wife Nettle Falconer Allen. Today the house operates as a civic center and provides a unique atmosphere for weddings, receptions, retreats, and many other functions.

Spencer and Cheyenne met at his brother’s wedding in 2015. A little over a year later, Spencer popped the question on a cliff at Circle Point in Cameron Park in Waco, Texas. Cheyenne excitedly said, “YES!”
They had an eventful first date in Waco as they began to get to know one another over dinner, followed by a movie. They ended their night with a little game that’s native to Wacoans – tortilla tossing off the suspension bridge at Indian Springs Park.
Spencer and Cheyenne decided to have a small, intimate wedding on the front porch of the historic mansion lit by candles. The wedding was at 6:00 pm so it was very dark outside, but the lights from the candles and porch lights cast a very romantic, candlelight for the ceremony. Did I mention it was FREEZING? It was seriously like 25 degrees outside! The fact that it was so cold seemed irrelevant because the ceremony was so beautiful…a true love story.

“A happy marriage is about three things: memories of togetherness, forgiveness of mistakes and a promise to never give up on each other.”
I wish you both the very best!
