Gabriel & Rosslyn

Gabriel and Rosslyn’s love story marriage began in Amarillo, Texas, with a courthouse wedding officiated by a cowboy judge. Their wedding day was filled with memorable moments, including their moving truck running out of gas right in front of the courthouse—an event that became an unforgettable part of their story.

historic Little Church of the West.
Marcus & Cassandra

Marcus and Cassandra’s love story is one of resilience and deep commitment. After meeting in 2016, they were put to the test when Marcus was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. Cassandra stood by his side, helping him through recovery—just as she had during earlier battles he faced in the military. Marcus, who survived an internal decapitation from a roadside bomb while on active duty, knows that Cassandra has been his hero in every sense. Now, they’ll renew their vows at Anthem Country Club, finally giving Cassandra the grand wedding she has always deserved.
