August 4, 2018 was a very hot day, like most days in August in Central Texas. But this particular day was very important! This particular day was the day that Kelsey and Hunter would say, "I do," in Palmer, Texas.

It all started with a simple introduction by Kelsey's sister. Hunter asked for her number and they began talking. Soon after this initial meeting, Hunter showed up at Kelsey's workplace one afternoon and said that he wanted to give her a ride home from work. Kelsey told him that she would like that and she returned to work to finish her shift.

At the end of her shift, Hunter was there to pick her up. He said they had to go out to eat dinner first before he took her home. They had an amazing meal together where they enjoyed each other's company. After dinner they went to spend some time at Lake Clark, where they continued to learn about each other.

As time went on, Kelsey and Hunter fell in love and continued to visit Lake Clark. It became "their" spot, which they marked by carving their initials into one of the trees. Eventually Hunter decided it was time to "pop the question." But where would he propose?

You guessed it! He proposed to Kelsey at Lake Clark in front of the tree where they carved their initials. The same tree where they had their first kiss. And the same tree where he told her that he loved her for the first time. It was absolutely perfect! Kelsey and Hunter were engaged!

When their wedding day arrived, they were both excited - yet nervous at the same time. Their wedding was simple and beautiful! But they said the best part of the entire wedding day was relaxing with each other after the wedding was over.

When I asked Kelsey if she had any advice for couples that were planning their wedding day, she jokingly replied, "Don't do it! Elope!" as she laughed.

“Plan realistically. Give yourself plenty of time to plan and save.”
