Emily and John’s romance blossomed in 2018 when mutual friends introduced the pair. With Emily living in San Antonio at the time and John calling Austin home, John made the 80-mile trip south for their first date. Feeling an instant connection, the pair tried to visit one another any chance they could.
After nearly five years of dating, John planned a surprise proposal under a gazebo nestled in Houston’s Heights neighborhood at Marmion Park. When Emily arrived, she found the gazebo beautifully decorated just for them. As soon as she stepped inside, John got down on one knee and popped the question. After joyfully accepting, the newly engaged couple headed to the home of Emily’s parents, where all their loved ones awaited to celebrate the happy news.
On April 29, 2023, Emily and John made it official with a traditional church wedding and ballroom reception at the Omni Houston Hotel. The hotel dazzled with twinkling lights, colorful blooms and greenery, embracing a springtime garden theme. Brit Floyd Weddings expertly captured photos of the couple dancing under canopy lights. The couple cut into a four-tier cake by Cakes by Gina, embellished with flowers, before dancing the night away with their loved ones. As Emily fondly recalled, “Getting all our favorite people in one room to celebrate our marriage with us” was the best part of their special day.
