Last weekend Mark and I packed up our bags and headed to Fort Worth for the wedding of one of our dearest friends, Chase. Somehow Chase snagged up one heck of a girl when he found Leah. They sealed the deal at a beautiful chapel, reminiscent of the Cooper Chapel in Bella Vista, in Fort Worth and had a fun afternoon reception in a town close by.
The Dyer man opted to stay for a weekend with his Mimi and Pop (my parents) and they spoiled him like crazy, as always! We were so blessed by a weekend of sleeping in (we slept til 10 the first morning!!), staying up late with friends, and just going & doing whatever our hearts desired since we weren't on a little one's schedule. THANKS mom and dad for giving us a fun getaway weekend!
On our first day there (Friday), we headed down to the historic Fort Worth Stockyards where we ate at a fun saloon, looked at the old wooden stockyards, shopped for cowboy boots, and saw the rodeo & cowboy museum. (The pic at the top is from this fun day!) Sounds like my kind of fun, right? Guess who wanted to do history + cowboy day? Not me! But, it turned out to be REALLY fun! We also got to hang around with Scott & Lauren, and our favorite little lady, E-G. She kept pinching me in the car for not bringing her boyfriend along!
Check out these cowboys!
That night we had rehearsal dinner at a fun local spot. It was really fun seeing these hometown boys all together and having such a good time. Here's Mark, Chase (groom), Scott, and Josh...
After dinner we headed to the beautiful chapel for rehearsal on a really gorgeous night!
After rehearsal we all decided to stay out and have some fun! These are some of my favorite pics from the whole weekend!
Here is Chase the groom in the Texas shirt, John (one of his best buds), and Josh Farrell, our hometown friend.
Then for the girlies! I love them so much! Carrie, Lauren, and Me!
And the most handsome guys in the whole town of Fort Worth (especially that one on the right!), Bo, Josh, and Mark!
Finally the wedding day had arrived! Chase & Leah tied the knot at 11:00 in the morning so we had a full day ahead. Leah got up at 5AM to be ready in time for pictures. What a trooper! She looked beautiful and Chase was quite the dapper groom! Some of my very favorite things from their reception were their cake topper that looked just like them, the sketches on each table of something fun from their relationship (drawn by one of Chase's friends) and of course the UofA/Texas A&M cake since we love to give Leah a hard time about her Aggie roots!
Here we are with the newlyweds!
We sent them off in a sea of bubbles, including Mark literally following them to their car and blowing bubbles in the window.
Later that day we hopped on a trolley with the Farrell's and Bo and went to the adorable square near our hotel! We spent the afternoon out on a rooftop patio and then went to a really, really great dinner in a different part of town. Sunday we did a little shopping for the house and then hit the road back to see our little dude. Congrats to Leah & Chase! We had such a fun weekend getting to see a new town and celebrating your new marriage! We love y'all!
