Introducing Kailey and Dylan! We can’t wait for these two to get married on December 11, 2021, as they plan to have a Christmas wedding!!

How did you meet?

Dylan and I first met at a mutual friend’s birthday party & later connected my 8th-grade year (his freshman) when his mom and him were moving into my grandparent’s rental house! I got a message from him on Facebook telling me we were going to be neighbors and “we should definitely hang out sometime!” We talked for quite a bit of time, but he finally asked me to be his girlfriend just in time to walk me in my first day of freshmen year of high school! From that day on, I had a forever school bus partner, travel buddy, my football player to my cheerleader, and my high school sweetheart.

How did he propose?

Dylan and I had been together for just over 7 years when he finally figured enough time had passed – haha. It was my senior year of college and I was on my last spring break ever – going to Walt Disney World of course (I might have a slight obsession with Disney..). Just a few days prior to us leaving for vacation I had found out I had gotten offered an internship at Walt Disney World that I had been praying for. What could POSSIBLY make this trip any better?? Little did I know what was coming… I was actually getting my senior pictures done at the Magic Kingdom itself when the greatest moment of my life happened. My mom and I went around the park with my photographer taking my photos while my best friends and Dylan “explored” the park (or so I thought, turns out they were trying to calm Dylan’s nerves). We met back up at the castle for some group pictures and the last picture she was taking was of me facing the castle. I stood there waiting for her to give me the okay to turn back around but instead I hear Dylan ask me to turn around. He then asked me to marry him, we cried, I cried a WHOLE bunch and then I was surprised with an engagement session in the park. We then celebrated the most magical proposal for the rest of the week at the most magical place on earth. (My engagement ring even has hidden mickeys on it! Good job babe😉)

Why did you pick The French Farmhouse Venue?

We started looking at venues over a year after our engagement, and I didn’t want to really make a decision because I’m so indecisive. We toured what I felt like almost every venue in our 80-mile radius and thought we had made a final decision. There were a few things holding me back from signing and one of those was that there wasn’t a fireplace. We were about a week away from signing our contract on a different venue and I stumbled upon The French Farmhouse’s Instagram. We fell in love with every detail over social media and scheduled a tour for the weekend. Not only did The French Farmhouse check every single one of our boxes, but they have TWO fireplaces!!! The French Farmhouse is everything we could ever dream of and it somehow just perfectly tied mine and Dylans style together, which is exactly what will happen on 12/11/21. From the moment we walked onto the property Dylan and I knew this place was special and to top it off Kelsey and her mom made us feel apart of the family. After we left the tour Dylan and I looked at each other and said “this is the one” and we signed that next weekend. ❤️

What are you most excited about getting married?

A few months before Dylan and I say “I do”, we will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary – “It’s about time” is an understatement! Besides the years that have gone by, we have spent many years bouncing around with college, internships, work and so much more. We are so ready to start our family and continue this life we’ve built so far. Getting to spend a day celebrating us two becoming one with many friends and family – including ones we’ve shared the high school hallways with, college classrooms, and the many family members we’ve both gained throughout the past decade – is just so heartwarming. I’m so excited to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.

Introducing Brookelyn and Lane!! These two cuties who met in the most unexpected place will say “I do” at The French Farmhouse Venue on October 15, 2021 and we could not be more excited! 

How did you and Lane meet? 

It was the summer of our junior year of high school and we had to take the dreaded SAT. We both went to different schools, so I had to travel to his school to take the test. We knew of each other and had actually talked to each other a few times, but stayed friends. I saw Lane in my assigned testing room and he would not stop staring at me. After each section of the exam he would put his head on the desk and stare at me under his arm, haha. A few hours after the test I decided to reach out to him and we have been together ever since!

How did he propose? 

We were having a date night, or so I thought. I begged to stay home and just watch a movie, but Lane was very persistent that we go. The whole car ride he was acting very weird and not saying very much. I thought it was a little weird, but just brushed it off and didn’t think a lot into it. We were going to a the waterfall garden in downtown Dallas and had the worst time finding parking. He kept passing an empty parking lot and I couldn’t figure out why he wouldn’t park there. Little did I know our photographer, who is a good friend of mine, was parked in the lot and he didn’t want me to see her car. After we finally found a spot we walked down into the garden and I saw the photographer and ruined the surprise (oops)! When I saw her he knew he had to do it right then and he popped the question!! We still joke about it to this day how I ruined the surprise.

Why did you choose The French Farmhouse Venue? 

 I came across the French Farmhouse on Instagram and knew we had to see it. We had looked at so many venues online and never felt like any of them were “the one”. This was actually the first venue we had seen in person. We were in love before we had even stepped foot out of the car and knew right then we didn’t want to look anywhere else. It is absolutely gorgeous and everything we wanted. The atmosphere is amazing. Michelle and Kelsey also made our decision very easy. They are so sweet! We are so excited for our big day!

What are you both most excited about getting married? 

 Brookelyn: I am so excited to be with my best friend every day, forever! We have so much fun together and I can’t wait to see what new memories we make.

Lane: The thing I am the most excited about getting married is being able to have a cuddle buddy every night unless I get kicked to the couch. Along with being able to start our own family and own family traditions. I can’t wait to have my lifetime fishing partner. I am so excited for this next season of life.

 

 

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.

 

Introducing Ryan and Laci, these two said “I Do” to The French Farmhouse Venue and we could not be more excited for these two to get married on January 23, 2021! 

How did Laci and Ryan Meet?

I was visiting someone at the college he was attending, Hendrix, when a mutual friend invited us both to a cookout at her apartment. We barley said two words to each other, but he claims he thought I was attractive. Months had past and he decided not to return to Hendrix after Christmas break, and therefore he enrolled in Grayson College, the school I attended. One day, I saw him wearing a shirt that said “Hendrix” and I knew that I had seen him before, but I wasn’t so sure. So, I messaged our mutual friend and asked what his name was (because I forgot lol) and what his snap chat was. That same day, I snapped him, asking if he had transferred, he said yes, and then the rest is history.

 

How did the proposal happen?

It was a planned lunch with both sets of our parents, this is all we led her to believe. However, there were secrets that led to the point that I would get down on one knee. I had it all planned out, she would walk into our enclosed patio where string lights and roses that would lead her to the first door. That door was covered in pictures with a letter attached, into the next room she would go, following the trail of roses, where she would meet another door with more pictures and another letter. Finally, on to the last door, she went, with the final letter and the last bit of pictures. Then she opened the door to me, down on one knee and already was shaking her head “yes” before I could even ask her if she would marry me. We celebrated all day with our families and had the best day of our lives (so far)!

 

 

Ryan and Laci came and wrote a verse on the walls of the venue while it is under construction that is meaningful to them and their future marriage.
