The Bride
The bride, Kristan, is 23 and was born and raised in north central Texas. She loves reading, singing, going to concerts, and trying to get out of grad school alive. Kristan grew up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area before graduating high school and going to college at Midwestern State University. She graduated with her bachelor's degree in May 2010 and is now in the process of earning her Masters of Library Science from the University of North Texas by December 2011.
The Groom
The groom, Jeremy, is also 23 and was born and raised in Wichita Falls. Jeremy enjoys going out with his friends, listening to live music, and doing reckless things with his buddies that may or may not have the potential to get them arrested. Jeremy graduated from Midwestern State University in May 2011 with a Bachelor's of Business Adminstration in Accounting, and is in the process of accumulating 150 credit hours to sit for the CPA exam.
The Story of Us
In August 2007, Kristan and Jeremy were both beginning their sophomore year of college. Kristan's sorority was invited to a back-to-school barbeque by one of the campus fraternities. The fraternity was short on members at the time, and so one of the frat brothers invited Jeremy to come to help even out the numbers. Kristan saw Jeremy across the room and immediately knew there was something special about him. She worked up the courage to talk to him, he kept refilling her drink, and the rest is history: they have been basically inseparable ever since! Note: The picture above is from one week after we started dating; we were at Shrinefest, an annual outdoor music festival in Wichita Falls. We have 2 pictures: one with my eyes closed and one with his closed... oh boy.
