Travis and I met through mutual friends three years ago. The day I met him he actually had no idea he was being set up on a blind date. When he finally figured out I was the girl his friend had been talking about, he was quick to tell me “You know, I am never getting married.” Well, it looks like I was able to change that boy’s mind! We were engaged two years later!

Cinderella has always been my favorite princess. So when it came time for Travis to propose he knew exactly how to make my fairy tale come true. I had a fairy godmother who brought me a gorgeous dress and sparkly new shoes (that looked close to a glass slipper), and he proposed to me in a grand ball room!

Our wedding plans were put on hold after receiving news that Travis would be deployed very quickly. We planned to have our wedding the following year when he returned home.

During the first two months of Travis’s training for his deployment he was stationed in Texas. We both knew we wanted to get married and two weeks before he was to be deployed overseas I married my prince charming.

Picking out the dress is what every girl dreams about. I wen’t to Allyse’s hoping to find something elegant and just right for our special day. After trying on several dresses I put on this one and knew it was “The One!” My family and the Allyse’s Bridal consultants all agreed that this was the perfect dress for me.

I couldn’t have asked for a better day. Our photographer, Julie Dawn Photography, was able to capture all of the happiness, excitement, and love we had that day. We are so thankful for the love and support from all of our family and friends and for Allyse’s Bridal for helping make my fairy tale a reality.
