Katey & Paul | Wedding Film from Marc Roberts on Vimeo.
“Christian marriage is the union of one man and one woman. A union established by God himself out of his wisdom and kindness.”
My childhood Pastor started our ceremony with those words and although I have only been married for 4 months, I see that every single day.
Nothing molds me more to God’s plan for me than being married to Paul. His heart makes my heart better and the kindness of it all is that I become more like Jesus by being with my best friend.
He makes me want to have a servant’s heart. He makes me want to have patience. He makes me want to have understanding. And he makes me want to care for others. It’s teaching our faith’s principles through action. And through the kindest action of all: loving another person.
Our wedding day is a hazy memory of emotions. I don’t remember what my guests wore or what my makeup looked like up close. I don’t remember what I ate that afternoon and I don’t remember the songs we danced to. But I remember how I felt and I remember how much I couldn’t wait to just hold Paul’s hand.
Being from Texas it was so hard to pick a theme with the wedding. I’m girly, I love dress up and Paul and I love the excitement of a Black Tie wedding. But because I also grew up in Crowley, Texas with cows in my neighborhood I had to have something relaxed. At first I thought of doing a wedding at a local mansion with BBQ catered, but then numbers got a little out of hand [my Dad is from Atlanta and LOVES a good party] so we decided to go a different route.
We chose a Southern Black Tie theme. We had the reception at my parent’s country club and just inserted personal touches to make it a little more Texas and a lot less stiff. We had pineapples as a theme because they are the southern symbol of hospitality. I wanted our guests to feel loved and we sent each home with donuts so they could enjoy them the next morning! Paul loves Chicken and Waffles so at midnight we passed little skewers of them out to people dancing.
I’ll list the vendors below for any questions you may have! If you are in the DFW, pick up your local issue of Brides of North Texas and our wedding is featured. Lots of vendor information will be listed there. 🙂
Thank you all for following along this journey the past year! The love, acceptance, compassion and joy you feel given to you on your wedding day is indescribable and I know mine was even sweeter having your love and support!

My Nail Color: If you’ve followed me for awhile now, you probably know I never know my nail color. I just tell the salon what I want, so I said, “I want dip and I want pure white.” And I let them pick! haha. So if you want the same color just say that! 🙂
Katey, oh my word. These pictures are stunning! Your wedding looked amazing and you look gorgeous!! And I also just have to say that you and Paul make such a cute couple. 🙂
Your wedding was absolutely gorgeous & you looked fabulous! Wishing you and Paul many years of happiness.

This is the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever seen! What an amazing testament to putting God first! Your video made me tear up! Love everything about your blog/instagram and who you are as a person. When in doubt I think “WWKD?” (What would Katey do?) Thank you for sharing your incredible life with all of us. Do you know if Kendra is still selling the Luxe earrings you wore? Absolutely killer.
This is the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. Katey you are so beautiful!
Love, from the Netherlands

Looks like the link to the bridesmaids robes is broken! Do you have the Etsy shop name? Stunning wedding!!
I never comment on blogs but I just had to say that I’m a long time reader and I LOVE your blog! This was so beautiful! You were such a gorgeous bride and had such a beautiful wedding! Thanks for sharing!
P.S. Not to be weird, but now I know what you sound like! ?
Literally cried looking at your photos and your words are so so sweet. Thank you for sharing your special day! I got married October 3rd and I was definitely following along with all your excitement and fun blog posts!
SO BEAUTIFUL! I watched it this morning and got all teary-eyed for you both. I got married the weekend after you did and we’ve been doing the same thing – watching and re-watching the video, looking at and framing photos, reliving all the little amazing and love-filled moments. I really enjoyed the wonderful things you wrote to one another. You and Paul seem so perfect together and truly in love. From our new little family to your new little family – all the best and lots of love!
One of my favorite things in the world is weddings, and I love them even more when it’s people I know getting married. Even though I don’t know you, I feel like I do. Thank you for sharing your special day with all of us. You were beautiful, the event was gorgeous, and the love you share with Paul is the most beautiful of them all.
xo, Lauren
I’ve never known what my dream wedding would look like, but now I know it would be this! Your dress is the most gorgeous I’ve seen, and I love shows like Say Yes to the Dress, haha!
Thank you for sharing your day with us, and generally your life. God bless you and Paul and your marriage <3
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful wedding pictures and all the links. I have now found the perfect garter thanks to you linking that Etsy shop! Another thing checked off my wedding list 🙂
Your wedding was so beautiful! And that video totally made me tear up! I wish you and Paul a lifetime of happiness.
xo Belle
I have waited soooooo so so so long for this! In the midst of watching this (teary-eyed of course) Sean looks at me and goes, “Do you realize how big of a white girl you are right now!?! Watching someone else’s wedding video drinking a glass of champagne teary eyed!” What a beautiful day, and it looked like so much fun. Cheers to #HappilyEverHellman!
xoxoxo,
Sam
Katey, I’ve been a long time reader of your blog and this post had me tearing up! Not only are these photos stunning, they truly capture the essence of the moment and the happiness in this wonderful day. Thanks for sharing them!
Love the post. A few of your esty links are not working. Can you fix that?
Hi Dee!
Could you tell me which ones you’re interested in? Each time someone purchases something from the link to etsy it says the link doesn’t work. 🙁 I keep updating and it’s a hamster wheel effect! Haha. I can directly link those to you! 🙂
This was absolutely gorgeous and definitely made me tear up a few times. I cannot wait until I get my own fairy tale with such a Godly man, like you got. Congrats!! <3
I am. Or a sentimental kind of girl. Lol. And I have never cried at wedding, but something about your wedding just had me in tears. I love your heart and love for Jesus! You truly are an inspiration. Wishing you the BEST in marriage and in life!
*i am not a sentimental kind of girl (darn typos ?)
I literally bursted into tears as soon as the music started. Although I don’t personally know you, you’ve been such an inspiration to me. Your kind loving words on your blog, Insta, & on snapchat gave me the courage to start my very own little blog. Thank you for representing Texas & God in such a loving way. God bless you Katey.
Love,
Brenda
Your wedding was absolutely beautiful, it had me tearing up! LOVE your dress
Xoxo
That video kills me!! (Like literally a blubbering, sobbing mess! Ha!) To be able to feel such a genuine, raw and passionate love rooted in Christ is beautiful. Thank you for sharing some of the most intimate moments of your special day with your readers. You made a gorgeous bride and your day looked perfect down to the detail. Wishing you all the love, health and happiness in your marriage. May God Bless xo.
I’m crying at work right now because this looked like the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever seen. YOUR DRESS!!! I love the color of your dress, I cannot get over it! Also, the way Paul looks at you, ugh the tears!
Everything looked gorgeous.. many congratulations! <3
It was a true blessing to be given the honor of making your wedding film. You and Paul (and your family!) are absolutely wonderful. Your love for each other is so visually apparent and heart-warming. God bless you both (and your family!). Thank you for making me feel welcome and letting me be a part. -Marc

What were the songs?! What did you walk into? First dance? Parents’ dances? This has been the hardest part for us so far.
Katey,
I watched your wedding video yesterday at work. Not going to lie, I totally cried! I have attended numerous weddings of close friends and not cried. I love seeing your light for Jesus shine so brightly. I know that God has blessed this marriage and will continue to do so. My Sunday school teacher explains it like a triangle, husband and wife are at the bottom two corners and God is on the top. The closer the husband and wife are to God, the closer to each other they become. Thank you for being such a Godly woman and a wonderful role model for younger women out there!
These are all so beautiful! Are we going to get a chance to see your bridal portraits!?! Would love to see them.
Beautiful wedding and beautiful couple!! God bless your marriage.
Such a beautiful wedding! I’m so glad you finally posted this because I have been dying to see pictures from your big day! I love Pauls Texas Tech cake, Red Raiders have to represent!
Me and my boyfriend just went and looked at engagement rings today and it was SO exciting, I don’t think I stopped smiling the entire time.
I was wondering, is your ring box from The Mrs. Box? I love those and wan’t to get one when that day finally comes!
Katey, your wedding day looked absolutely magical and so full of love! Congrats & thank you for sharing with us.

I love the monogram lace wrapped around your bouquet! Can you please please let me know where you got that so I can purchase for my wedding this June? Congrats to you and Paul, I love your page and have already purchased a few similar things 🙂
Hi girl! Thank you so much! It was a family heirloom! It was my great grandmothers and she used it on her wedding day and it was passed down.
The pictures, the video, the dress, your story. Everything is all just so stunning! Congratulations to you both! <3
Gorgeous!!!! You.. Everything!!! Where can one find s mirror like that??? LOVE!!!
Hey there! Where did you get your reception mirror from? I love that idea for the entrance and would like to do something similar. Thanks so much! You’re such a wonderful role model 🙂
Katey,
Your wedding was so beautiful! I’m getting married next year and I absolutely adore your bridesmaids dresses. From the photos it looks like they are black and are several different styles but the link took me to only two styles that come in navy instead of black. I loved the different Styles so each girl can pick one to match their personality. Please let me know how to find these! I would greatly appreciate it.
-Bri F.
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life. I’m only 20 and am in a relationship with the sweetest guy and this makes me want to get engaged now and have a wedding like yours. I can’t wait to experience the feeling you and your husband experienced. You looked absolutely stunning and I now have my dream wedding, YOURS. Love
???? I’m getting married this NYE and am dying over every little detail of your wedding. That video is perfect! . Where did you get your white robe that you got ready in?
Hi Katey!
I recently found your blog and loving every minute of it! I just viewed your wedding pics and they are gorgeous. I especially loved the video at the end. While I love both sets of background music in the video, the first set of music is my favorite. Do you know who complied that piece?
Katey,
How stunning!! Every detail was simple beautiful! Can you send me the link to your exact earrings please!?
Megan
I just watched your wedding video and it was absolutely beautiful! Your wedding day looked amazing and you were stunning. I hope God continues to bless your union. I wish you all the best!!

Hi Katey I’m obsessed with your wedding! Absolutely beautiful! Your bridesmaid robes did you do the silk or cotton??? I love love love them 🙂 I actually have the same robe! Haha
Gorgeous! love the bridesmaids dresses but your grandmother’s ring & those hot pink nails take it! So funny but srsly that ring is massive & stunning! Congratulations & blessings on a long, fruitful, happy marriage. We, too, had a black tie southern wedding at our church & reception at our country club 7 years ago October! Time flies!
