Shelby and Nathan Losey

How We Met:
Nathan was in Highland, Kansas on a football scholarship and I was a senior at Danville High School. A mutual friend introduced us in the fall of 2012. After a few weeks of talking, he finally asked me out. Our first date was during Thanksgiving break, where we shared dinner at P.F. Chang.

The Proposal:
Nathan took me to Quail Creek Chapel, which was built my grandfather and my father and is also where we got married. When we walked into the church music was playing and at the end of aisle was a table set up of the pictures from the last four and a half years of our life. As we approached the end of the aisle, Nathan got down on one knee and simply asked “Will you marry me?”. After the easiest “yes” of her life, Shelby turned to see all of her family and friends in the loft of the church. The proposal was followed by dinner at Oh!Bryan’s Steakhouse in Hartselle, where more family and friends were gathered to congratulate us.

Favorite Moments:
Just before sunset, we were able to sneak away before the reception started and take a few pictures and enjoy alone time for a few minutes. Another moment that was so special to me was, during the ceremony, my little sister Emmie read a poem by E.E. Cummings, “I Carry Your Heart, I Carry it in my Heart.”

Favorite Details:
We hired a cartoon artist for the reception, instead of having a photo booth. It was huge hit with everyone, and it gave everyone a hand drawn cartoon picture!
