Our Wedding Celebration

<p>How did we meet? Chad aka Gator and Sheena initially met over 29 years ago while participating in the wedding party for their close friends, Scot and Tiffany. We danced the night away at the wedding reception, and continued to celebrate after the reception with the bride’s family and fellow wedding party members. Following this evening of celebrating the marriage of our dear friends, we went our separate ways, Gator back to his life in Houston and Sheena back to life in Dallas. Four years later, Gator came to town on a work appointment and decided to also make it a fun weekend with Scot, Tiffany, and other friends. Sheena joined the group out and about that weekend. A few weeks later, Gator made the trip up to Dallas again for a work trip which also led into a weekend with friends. It was during this trip that we exchanged telephone numbers and began talking every day, getting to know on another, building a genuine friendship, and running up our phone bills. After five months of daily phone conversations and weekend visits, Gator made the big decision to move to Dallas. We have now been together for 24 years and our love story will continue when we marry on the date of our 25th year together, April 1, 2026. We cannot wait to celebrate with family members and friends on June 13, 2026. Stating we are excited for our future together is an understatement! Cannot wait to continue living life and making memories together..</p>
