Way-Back-Wednesday #9: Rachel is getting married!! :)

This upcoming weekend is the wedding of one of my dear friends, Rachel Fenn. We met living on the dorm hall of Walker 6 West in the OU dorms our freshman year of college. From football games, to float trips, to OU/SAXET, we experienced a LOT of it together. And, what's even better: her high school sweet heart, Alex, was along for all of the ride as well.

Rachel and Alex went to high school together in a suburb of Dallas...why? Because they were next door neighbors. That's right...she's literally marrying the boy next door :) pretty stinkin' adorable, huh? I forget the details, but it makes for one heck of a story! On the night that Alex proposed, they went for a walk on the golf course behind their houses and if my memory serves me correct, Rachel was being stubborn about which way they went. They ended up coming out a different way and saw the back to the sign that Alex had painted that was mounted in her front yard that said, "Rachel, will you marry me?" Friends and family were hiding in her house watching the entire thing. The picture above sums up their absolutely goofy and loving relationship. It's one of their engagement shots...courtesy of the great Stancy Higley.

I'm so sad I won't be there for the wedding celebration of these two this weekend...but I can't wait to see pictures from it :) Enjoy this walk down memory lane Rachel and Alex!

After our sophomore year at OU, Rachel transferred to Texas Women's University to continue studying nursing. We had a surprise going away party for her...but the biggest surprise was that Alex drove up from Waco that weekend. Super cute.
