September 24, 2022 was a gorgeous day in Emory, Texas. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the sun was brilliantly shining. It was a perfect day for Tasha and Allen’s wedding at The Barn of Emory!
Tasha and Allen began their relationship online and eventually they had their first date. They went to an Allen Americans Hockey game. They vividly recall how much fun it was to be around one another as they shared lots of laughter.
The two continued to enjoy their time together as they learned more about each other. They both love traveling so they even took several trips together which further strengthened their relationship. They even developed their own Disney game, since they both love anything and everything Disney! They see who can guess the Disney song first while their on road trips. Fun fact, Tasha and Allen have traveled to NINE countries together!
“...and then I realized ADVENTURES are the BEST way to LEARN.”
One trip was life changing for them. They went to Niagra Falls and took a tour on the Maid of the Mist which took them directly under the falls. This was the moment that Allen surprised Tasha with a ring as he asked for her hand in marriage!
When they aren’t traveling the world, they often enjoy dinners together at Texas Roadhouse or at a sushi restaurant as well as attending sporting events, game nights or watching movies. They are definitely an adventurous couple that loves having fun together while experiencing new and exciting activities.
When I asked them what they liked best about each other, Allen said he loves how driven Tasha is to meet her goals in life. She’s always up for an adventure and a challenge. And he also likes her bootie! Tasha said she likes Allen’s sense of humor. He will have your cheeks hurting for hours! He knows everything about sports. Even if he didn’t watch the game, he will read about the highlights and then talk about the game like he watched it. She also loves the way he absolutely loves his family.
During their wedding it was obvious how much Tasha and Allen are loved by their family and friends. Many gave toasts to them and had so many wonderful things to say about both of them. In the midst of all the sweet gestures and kind words were lots of laughs - LOTS! The ceremony had so many laughing and smiling as the “shot girls” walked down the aisle tossing out Jell-O shots. The reception kept the laughter going as Allen disappeared after telling Tasha he had a surprise for her. She looked a tad worried and then she heard it…the conversation between Chip and Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast! The song, Tale As Old As Time, began to play and Allen came walking into the room dressed as The Beast. Everyone literally began laughing and pulled out their phones to take photos and videos as he asked for Tasha’s hand so they could share a dance to a Disney song.
Tasha and Allen have such a fun and exciting life together that is not only filled with so much love for one another, but they are literally surrounded by love from their family and friends. It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with them during their engagement session and then spend time with them and their loved ones during their wedding.
