The Perfect Blend

Marriage brought us together, but being a family is just what’s in our hearts.

September 21st, 2019 was a beautiful Texas summer day that was absolutely perfect for a beautiful wedding at Tucker Hall in Waco, Texas! The venue was decorated with bright colors that included fuchsia, teal and coral. On this day Mackenzie and David became Mr. and Mrs. Carrizales.

The details of the wedding were absolutely stunning!

Mackenzie and David grew up knowing each other as family friends. Years later they reconnected through social media and the rest is history. Their first date was filled with great conversation and laughter as the two caught up with one another at the winery. The two continued to get to know each other over time and soon David decided to get down on one knee and ask for Mackenzie’s hand in marriage after one of their many romantic nights.

Mackenzie and David both have children from previous relationships and now they are an official blended family. It was amazing to watch them interact with each other throughout the evening. They all got along extremely well shared many laughs between all six of them! When you watch them you can’t help but smile right along with them. They are all so carefree, loving and genuine.

Mackenzie and David are surrounded by LOTS of family and friends! In fact, Mackenzie couldn’t choose just one Matron of Honor! She had two plus one Maid of Honor. David has a large family and one challenge that they warned me about was getting all of them into one photograph. But we did it!

After the ceremony and the portraits it was time for the first dances. This included Mackenzie and David of course, as well as David with his mother. This also included Mackenzie and her son - which was full of surprises!

Mother and Son Dance. Their dance started off as an emotional dance, but then suddenly turned into them dancing to songs like “The Git Up,” “Superman” and everything in between!

Mackenzie and David, I wish you and your family the very best - you all definitely deserve nothing but the best! “Love one another. Forgive each other. Pray together. Bear each others burdens. Count your blessings. Never give up.” - unknown
