Bethany and Stephen got married late last summer/early fall at Moore Farms in Pryor. When I first heard their story I fell in love with them immediately. It’s somewhat rare that I share a couple’s story, but this one is so good. Grab the popcorn and enjoy! It started years ago when they were little kids – Stephen has had the hots for this girl most of his life! They even shared their first kiss when they were 4 years old. How freaking adorable is that?! He continued to pursue her through high school and finally got a date out of her when they were in college. But he was a big football star and that wasn’t her jam. They parted ways and he went on to play professional football and she went to the mission field and years passed. At some point they both ended up back in Oklahoma and he ended up asking his sister-in-law to her her mom for her number. I mean, he’s really stubborn persistent. The rest is history from there. Bethany loves traveling and when it was time to pop the question they traveled to Iceland where Stephen proposed by a waterfall. See? How could I not fall in love with them and their story? These two are seriously, seriously cute together. I know there will never be a lack of laughter in their marriage (and plenty of eye rolling from Bethany).

Check out those smiles! I’m telling you it was like that all day long!

One of the best things about Moore Farms is that are endless places for photo opportunities! And they provide a golf cart to roam all over the property!

Gentlemen: Follow Stephen’s lead and get excited about your fashion for the wedding day! Check out that creative tie knot.
Oh and fun story! I like to call Stephen Pheven. They told me a story about how when Bethany told someone his name she said, “It’s Stephen with a PH”. That person then wrote his name “Pheven” (which is TOTALLY something I would have done myself so I’m not laughing at whoever that person was) and so he’ll always be Pheven to me. I’m sure I’ve worn out that joke a long time ago, but it’s still hilarious to me.

I love them.

We were running behind and I so I was putting the pressure on the groomsmen to come for pictures quickly so that we could take advantage of the time we had remaining. A few minutes later I turn around and here comes Pheven and his groomsmen flying through the field in the golf cart – with Stacy the wedding coordinator hanging on for deal life in the back.

Stephen’s beautiful daughter was the flower girl. Such a sweetie!

Congrats again to Bethany & Stephen! It was a joy to be a part of your wedding day!
