Luke and Kala’s Spring wedding was absolutely stunning!  It was a gorgeous spring afternoon surrounded by friends and family at Gruene Estate.  Luke and Kala had their first date on the beautiful Frio River, and on her 26th birthday, he took her back to the same location for a surprise mountain side proposal.  Inspired by Pinterest and a rustic laid back feel, their day was focused on their experience, great music, and lots of fun drinks!

We love to hear any fun “how we met” and/or “how we got engaged” stories so feel free to share below if you’d like. 

On my 26th birthday, Luke and I went to the Frio with some friends. This was one of our first dates almost 4 years before, so it was a place the was special to us. We were relaxing all day by the water and before sunset, Luke insisted we climb up this huge hill. It was not a groomed trail so we had to use a machete to get through all the trees and bushes. At the time it was not romantic, looking back it kinda is. Once we got to the top of the hill, it was a beautiful view. That’s when Luke popped the question!

It’s very cliche, but seeing my husband for the first time was unforgettable. Also, having all the friends and family we love in one place was pretty amazing. It’s probably the first and only time we will have all 200 people gathered in the same place, and we were able to make memories with all of them!

Don’t stress about the small things. Enjoy every second of it. Even all the planning!

Luke is wearing a navy blue suit from Men’s Warehouse. Navy is a less formal color then black, but still brings style and sophistication to a spring wedding!
