Short answer: We were hoping for a mid-to-late fall wedding, and October 31st happened to be the perfect Saturday. We also happen to love a little whimsy!

Long answer: While Halloween is often associated with horror or the macabre, we see an opportunity to celebrate something altogether different!

We believe in a God who is not only beautiful and peace-bringing, but also awe-some in the original sense of the word. He describes Himself as both Lion and Lamb: One who is to be feared and One who comforts us. While a warm cottage reminds us of the comfort and refuge found in Him, a gothic cathedral draws our eyes upward toward His infinite beauty, majesty, and wonder.

So when the perfect fall wedding date happened to land on October 31st, we embraced it! We think there's something fitting about celebrating the God-given gift of marriage on a day often associated with darkness. Just as a candle fills the darkness of a jack-o'-lantern, we hope our wedding points to the light of Christ and the lasting hope, beauty, and joy found in Him alone.

To borrow a sentiment from one of Timmy's favorite Johnny Cash songs, Man in Black:

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day
And tell the world that everything's okay
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
'Til things are brighter, I'm the Man in Black.

To keep our celebration intimate and within our venue’s capacity, we’ve extended plus-one invitations to guests whose RSVP includes an additional name.

Absolutely! Children are welcome to celebrate with us. We’ve included little ones in our guest count and have accounted for children in each family’s RSVP. We’re so excited to share this day with the whole family!

Yes! Parking will be available at the venue. We encourage guests to arrive with enough time to park and make their way to the ceremony before it begins.

Our ceremony and reception will take place at The Amish Barn at Edge in Hearne, TX, with both indoor and outdoor spaces. Since we’ll be celebrating in late October, we recommend bringing a light layer and choosing footwear that’s comfortable for outdoor surfaces.

Kindly let us know your plans by September 30th. We hope to celebrate with you!
