Introducing Tyler and Ashley! We can’t wait for these two to say “I DO” on April 10, 2021! 

How/When did you two meet?

We met in Physical Therapy school at our class Halloween party. Tyler was dressed as Napoleon Dynamite and I was a biker, what a match. After a few months of saying hi in the hallways, he asked me on a date and we’ve been together since!

How did Tyler propose? 

Tyler proposed in Palo Duro Canyon. After hiking all day, we got dressed up and went out to dinner. Then, we returned to the canyon at sunset where Tyler had a photographer waiting to capture the moment! This place is extra special because its where we took our first trip together when we first started dating.

Why did you choose The French Farmhouse Venue? 

We wanted a venue that was timeless, and somewhere our guests would enjoy celebrating as much as we will. Visiting the French Farmhouse gave us a glimpse of everything we could hope for in a venue, and can’t wait to see it come to life on the day of. 

What are you most excited about for your big day? 

We are most excited to begin building a life together as we start our careers, and one day a family!

 

Introducing Cade and Paige! We are so excited for these two to say “I Do” at The French Farmhouse Venue on June 26, 2021.

Where/how did you meet?

Cade and I have been friends since we were in preschool — my mom says I have been calling Cade my boyfriend ever since. When we got into high school our friendship grew a little faster than others in our friend group. In December of our Junior year of high school, Cade spontaneously asked me on our first date, a trip to see the Christmas lights on the Frisco Square. It didn’t take long for either of us to realize that we wanted more than a simple friendship, so we began dating on December 18, 2014.

How did he propose?

Our proposal was along-awaited moment for just about anyone who knows us. On June 23, 2020, Cade asked me on a date to Red Lobster. When he arrived to pick me up, he was holding roses and champagne glasses, not typical for a date to Red Lobster. When we walked out of the front door of my house, there was a picnic set up on the backside of the tank on my family land. By the grace of God, the rain had let up for about an hour that day, the hour in which Cade popped the question. It was a very cherished and intimate moment, just the two of us, our fur baby, and our parents who came out from the house shortly after.

Why did you pick The French Farmhouse Venue?

It is hard to explain exactly why we chose the French Farmhouse. It is kind of like falling in love – when you know you know. There was a very specific moment on our tour when we had our “this is the one” moment. We had just been shown up to the grooms suite and were headed back down he stairs. When we reached the bottom of the stairs, we looked up and were able to get a view of the entire interior of the venue – it was breath taking. The owners have truly put love and thought into ensuring that each intricate detail is selected to be of significance to couples.

What are you most excited about getting married?

We are most excited to begin tackling the journey of life together, officially. We have weathered a lot of change in our relationship, but this change has got to be the most exciting one. Beginning June 26. 2021, we will be growing as one – facing challenges together, celebrating triumphs together, mourning together, making memories together, traveling together, and most importantly, growing in God together.

 

Introducing Audrey and Colton! We can’t wait for these two to say “I DO” on June 20, 2021!

Where/how did you meet?

Audrey:
At the beginning of my sophomore year, my best friend (and future maid of honor) invited me and some girls over to her house for a get-together. She also happened to invite a guy she knew from high school and his roommates. Lucky for me, one of his roommates ended up being incredibly attractive. Myself and said roommate talked and ended up two-stepping in her kitchen by the end of the night. Colton and I went on to be close friends (who definitely had serious crushes on each other) until we began dating later that year.

Colton:
Before my sophomore year of college, I was moving into an apartment complex when my roommate ran into a friend from high school in the stairwell. She was also moving into the complex and invited us over for a game night with friends. I remember my roommate being very reluctant to go, but I insisted because she “might have hot friends.” So we went and met everyone there, but my eyes were set on the most beautiful girl in the room. We got the chance to spend time together and by the end of the night we exchanged phone numbers and the rest is history.

How did he propose?

He knocked it out of the park! He knows I love surprises, so he made sure to do everything behind the scenes with help from our amazing families. The story was that we were meeting at his Aunt and Uncle’s land to leave from there for a nice dinner with his family. I showed up to his apartment after he got off work to head south to Waxahachie and he had gotten me Lilies “just because” and I was none the wiser. Looking back, he was doing many things that revealed his nerves such as dropping keys and missing exits despite being a human compass, but I was oblivious. Upon arrival, I was told everyone was running late. He took me to admire an old wagon on the land before leading me down to the most beautiful setting of blankets, flowers, pictures and hanging tea lights when I finally realized what was happening. He had a poem written about us and our story that we read together and the last line asked if I would marry him. He was on one knee and said some words neither of us can truly remember and I can’t remember if I audibly said yes or just vigorously nodded my head. We popped champagne, laughed, cried, took it all in and Colton prayed over us before then finding out our immediate family members were there to celebrate us. It was one of the best days of my life so far.

Why did you pick The French Farmhouse Venue?

We felt like everything about the venue resembled us. The size was perfect for what we needed and the land was absolutely beautiful. We loved the antique accents and how much apparent thought and care was put into every detail. Kelsey and Michelle were extremely helpful with every question and truly made us feel like friends from the moment we met. We toured while it was still under construction, so Kelsey really helped in ensuring we could visualize what the final product would look like. We did tons of research for venues around the DFW area and felt sure the moment we left The French Farmhouse Venue after visiting that it was where we wanted to make and celebrate our covenant to each other.

What are you most excited about getting married?

Audrey:
I am so excited to get to do life with my best friend forever! He is the person I love most in the world and the fact that I get to build a home and a legacy with him still blows me away. Life is going to be so much fun.

Colton:
In the past 4 years that I have known Audrey, we have grown tremendously in all walks of life including with each other. If so much has changed in 4 years for the better, I can’t wait to see what a lifetime will bring.
