Our Story

From Far Away to Forever

The Beginning

A Humble Beginning
Thomas and AnnaBell met on the internet when they were just a couple of dumb young kids looking to make friends. Little did they know what their friendship would blossom in to.

The College Years

The Relationship Grows
Tom went off to attend trade school and build a career he could take pride in. It was then that the couple decided to consider what they had as more than a friendship.

Major Life Decisions

Ooh, Shiny!
After gaining much needed job experience and money, Tom packed up his life to be closer to the woman he knew he loved. Anna moved in to attend school herself, building a future for them both. Not long after establishing themselves in their new home, Tom got down on one knee, professing his love for the most wonderful woman he could dream of by giving her the prettiest of pebbles.

Forever

Making Love Eternal
Following four and a half years of challenging college courses, Anna graduated summa cum laude. After facing some of the greatest hardships a couple can face, Anna and Tom decided it was now time for to start the next chapter in their lives.
Surrounded by family and friends that we love dearly, we commit our love to eternity with each other.

“Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. Also, never go to bed angry.”

            Dress Code and Attire

            A wedding is a formal event. Formal attire is required for both the ceremony and reception. We understand that not everyone has proper formal attire, so we have opted for some looser guidelines. Officially, the dress code is as follows.

            Formal/Cocktail

            • Men are expected to wear a suit and tie. At minimum, a pair of dress pants and a dress shirt with tie, and optionally a blazer. No jeans, no cowboy boots. Wear dress shoes.
            • Women should opt for a fancy cocktail dress, or a tea-length, knee-length, or midi dress. A formal blouse with dress pants is also acceptable. Do not wear white.

            Please take the weather into advisement. While indoors and in air conditioned buildings, this is still a late summer wedding in Nebraska. It will be hot and humid. Go with lighter, more breathable fabrics.
