So, here it goes with our love story! Our story began June of 2009 with the help of my Dad. I know what you're thinking, "Your Dad?" It's true but the story gets better! One afternoon at my parents house my Dad casually says, "I gave someone your # again (yes again!)." Needless to say I wasn't too thrilled to hear my dad was 'assisting' me in finding a guy a 2nd time. So, curious I asked who he sograciously gave my # to. He replied, "Hooch!" I went from being defensive/embarrassed to thinking "Okay, I'm alright with that!" Hooch was a senior when I was a freshman and our parents had always been friends. He always said hi to me in school but I was always too shy to say anything other than hi back :) We went on our first date and a week later officially became his girlfriend at his brother's wedding. It didn't take long for us to know we were just meant to be, simple as that! We bought a house together in Sept of 2010 and made it our home-sweet-home! On the evening of his birthday, Jan. 30th, 2012, I came home from work and noticed that the lights and TV were off and there was Hooch sitting in the recliner. He had been sick for week and I was feeling so bad for him, it being his birthday and all. So, I walked over and asked how he was feeling and we talked about the day. I told him I was bummed because his second present hadn't come in. He replied, "Well, I bought myself a present, the best kind, too." I said, "Oh yeah!" I was walking away and turned to face him. He reached..I looked down...I saw a white box...I thought what is happening!...I started telling myself, " It's not a ring, it's not a ring!!" Just in case it wasn't I wouldn't look like an idiot.. he got on one knee and asked me the best question (we all know what that was!) and I lost it and cried like a baby. It took me a while to even see the ring :) Of course I said yes!!!!!!! He said he wanted to do something extravagant but still didn't feel good and knew if he did I would guess what was happening. This way I was totally surprised and I WAS!! We are getting married September 29th of this year and I cannot wait to be Mrs. Ryan Lamson! I get to marry my best friend, someone who loves me just as much as I love him :)
This couple chose the perfect rustic setting to frame their love for each other.

The setting was gorgeous and decor were so nicely done. They worked hard to incorporate personal touches that really fit their rustic country theme.
Here comes the bride!
It was a perfect day for a beautiful wedding!
We really lucked out catching these sunset shots before joining the party after portraits.
I think this is YMCA! What a great party and amazing day! Thanks to Dusti and Ryan for sharing their day with us.
