Our Wedding

Our story began spring of our freshman year at Hardin-Simmons when we had a class together in the science building. We never spoke that semester, but Thomas sat behind Laney and our chairs would back into each other almost every day. Flash forward to this past spring semester and we had accounting class together. We both noticed each other but were too nervous to say anything, that is until Laney heard that she needed a plus one for her sorority's Greek life formal. She had a friend reach out to Thomas to see if he would be interested in going to the formal with Laney, and luckily, he said yes! They started texting and went on their first date to Chili's and the rest is history!

Our Story

Marissa and I met in Mrs. Yantis' kindergarten class! We quickly became best friends and not much has changed ever since! Although the bulk of our friendship has taken place in different states, we have always kept up with each other and have always felt close! 

Marissa Burguieres

Dallas is my cousin and every year we get to see each other at new year's. New year's always and forever became one of our favorite holidays when the cousins all came together at grandma's house! Me and Dallas would spend hours in our grandma's hot tub talking about our faith, friends, family and absolutely anything you can think of. Dallas has quickly become one of my greatest friends and a great cousin!

Ella is Thomas' sister and quickly became someone I could call a genuine friend! I first heard of Ella on Thomas and I's first date and I was so excited to learn that he had a younger sister. Ella has always been so supportive and excited for Thomas and I and I am so happy to be calling her a sister!

Hannah is my college roommate! The summer before our freshman year at Hardin-Simmons, Hannah sent me a message on Instagram asking if I would be interested in being roommates- I said yes, and that was one of the best decisions I've ever made, because we have been roommates ever since! Hannah has been a reliable friend to me throughout my college life! 

Hannah Albin

Kate is my closest friend from high school! I shadowed her when I was in the 7th grade before joining the school, and I knew on that day that she would be a great friend. Throughout our high school and college years, Kate and I always kept up well, and even started working at the same place during the summer!

Tyson is one of my great friends. I met him when I moved to ACU in the summer before my freshman year. We first didn't hit it off, but little did I know he would become one of my best friends! Our late-night freestyles and the countless hours of playing madden made this friendship one to remember! I am so glad to have him as one of my groomsmen.

Teddy is Laney's sweet four year old cousin! Although Laney was there for his birth, and has been his only babysitter since the day he was born, he now makes sure that everyone knows that Thomas is his favorite out of the two. Teddy has the role of ring bearer, or ring security, in our wedding!
