Reception

Our Wedding

Cindy and Anthony met at a honky-tonk bar in Abilene, Texas while Cindy was in nursing school and Anthony was stationed there. What started as a simple conversation quickly turned into an instant connection. A few weeks later, he asked her on their first date and picked her up from her college house — though not before Cindy calmed her nerves with a quick FaceTime call and a vodka shot with her sister. That night, they shared Vietnamese food together, which has since become one of their favorite date-night traditions. From that very first date on, they were inseparable — and the rest is history.

Allison has been Cindy's best friend since the 6th grade. From the moment they met during lunch hour at NBMS, they have been inseparable. Through all of the up's and downs of life, they have always been there for each other no matter what. At the drop of a hat, she's the friend that would drive 7 hours to Lubbock if Cindy was needing her best friend- that's the kind of friend she is. Cindy feels so lucky to have Allison stand beside her in all seasons of her life, especially this one.

Cindy couldn't imagine getting married with her big sister standing beside her.

Stacy is Cindy's childhood best friend. They have been best friends since pre-k. Every childhood memory that Cindy has is with Stacy. They grew up walking distance from each other and would often scream a funny message and hope the other one heard from their front porch. From family vacations to going to college together, these two have truly grown up with one another. Cindy often introduces and describes Stacy as family and this day wouldn't be complete without her there.

Mia and cindy went to middle school together but truly got closer as the friend group was created in high school. Mia is a bright light and constant reminder of all the fun and great things in life.

(Everyone say thank you Mia lol)
