Our Love Story

The day I met Kenny Owens, will be a day I will NEVER forget! It was in June of 2004; June 19th to be exact! I was going through a tough time in my life & needed to just get out! So...a couple of my friends/cousins & I decided to ride to, what was then, Gametime to "parking lot pimp" LOL! "Parking lot pimp" is what we did when we decided to just "chill" in the parking lot of the club and not go in! I know...sounds a little crazy...but that's what we did when I was 19 years old LOL!! First of all, I have never been the type of girl to “holla” at a dude, but this particular night, I was in rare form & was having so much fun! So, I spotted this SUPER CUTE, light-skinned dude with braids that had on a green jersey! I was determined to get “the boy in the green jersey” phone number & was not leaving Greenville until I got it!! Long story short, I got his number in the parking lot of Gametime & we became friends. We went on one date & that was it! We were just what I said…friends...no more, no less! We carried on this friendship for about three years off & on...I thought he was one of the best friends I’d ever had! We talked about EVERYTHING! In October of 2007, I ran into Kenny in his uncle’s club, Alley Gator’s. We had not talked or seen each other in a long time! I agreed to go visit him one Saturday night after that just to “chill” & that “chill” turned into something serious! I never expected it to go as far as it did, but you cannot run from true love when it finds you. We started out “talking” & made it “official” on January 18, 2008. A couple of weeks shy of our 4 year anniversary, Kenny asked me to be his wife! Another day I will NEVER forget…December 25, 2011…a very special Christmas Day!!! I wrote the following words in a poem to Kenny ("Kay") for Valentine’s Day in 2008 that sums up the love I have for the Love of My Life, my fiance: “…The key to my heart,I thought I threw away. Some how, some way you got it, And now I’m here to stay. I almost missed out…The thought brings chills over me. But timing and patience,I learned is the key. One last time, I’ve fallen in love. But this time I truly believe You’re my angel sent from above.”
Enjoy our Love Story!!!

Engagement Pictures!

On Saturday, February 11, Kay and I took our engagement pictures.  Do not think I am crazy, but I have known for about two years now that Matthew & Vernice Hammett is whom I wanted to take my pictures when I got married!  The Hammetts were the photographers at one my of close friends’ (Loren Oyervides) wedding.  Matt, Vernice, Chad, & Loren have been close friends since the Oyervides’ wedding!  They have taken so many pictures for them and I just thought they were AWESOME from day one.  After a few quotes from a few photographers, I decided to go with the Hammetts for our photographers; I think this is one of the best decisions I have made since we have started the wedding planning!  To me, the photographer and the videographer are some of the most important people of “Our Big Day!”  I am not going to see the wedding for one & there are going to be so many things that Kay & I do not remember on that day, so I wanted to be sure that we have something good to go back on!  I have not chose a videographer yet, but my photographers are signed, sealed, & delivered!!! 

So, Kay & I spent our Saturday afternoon, of February 11th, with Matthew & Vernice Hammett! We met them at 3:45 p.m. at ___?____.  I am going to leave that blank for now, because I want everyone (that do not know already) to be surprised at the place we took our first set of pictures!  It was fun, fun, fun! :-)  After we left the first location, we took off to downtown Greenville to  Falls Park.  It was FREEZING that day; probably the coldest day of the year so far (temperatures in the upper 30s), but we made the best of it!  Matt & Vernice shared a “sneak peek” with us and we are anxious to see the rest! 

The Hammetts makes the best "husband + wife team" & we are so grateful to have them as our photographers!  Thanks Matt & Vernice for spending your Saturday afternoon with us!  We can’t wait to share the rest of our very special moments with you!!!
