After we got engaged and started talking about our wedding, Trent and I decided a couple things: 1. We wanted our wedding reflect our personalities and 2. We didn't want to have our reception in a ballroom. As much as we both love to be outside, we came up with 'rustic elegance' as the theme for our wedding.
The tasks at the top of our to-do list were to set the date and find our venue. First up, the date. We decided on April 14, 2012 - why such a long engagement? Well, between football games and hunting season, a fall wedding is a no go, and any Saturday in spring before the SHO and the Master's is off limits. Plus, we will have enough time to plan the wedding of our dreams as stress free as possible!
Next on the list, picking the venue. This was much easier than we had imagined it would be in a city filled with hotels and venues with the "ballroom" feel. After lots of research we decided to go visit several places with the unique style we wanted. We fell in love with the second one we visited, the Houstonian Golf and Country Club in Richmond, Tx. It is the definition of rustic elegance or as Trent would say, it looks like a fancy hunting lodge. And that's probably why he liked it so much. We think it's the perfect place to celebrate our marriage with family and friends!

Congrats Trent on a creative way to ask for her hand. Welcome to the family!
