After barely a moment had passed once I finished my vows, a train began quietly rolling through over on the other side of road, the sun flickering as it passed. It gave us an extra five minutes or so to pause and soak up every moment together.
The ceremony
My parents were kind enough to head out to Marfa a couple months before our wedding to scope out nearby fields to find a place to have the ceremony. We didn’t want to rent out any huge plots of land since it was just 25 of us for a half hour or so, and all we wanted was to get married at sunset. The Marfa Lights Viewing Center offered a perfect place to pull off and have the ceremony!

Everything about this truly played out like a dream: we improvised half the time which made it feel so carefree. We decided the order that our friends walked down as we got there, and played our ceremony playlist on shuffle and I ended up walking down the aisle to Ship of Fools by the Grateful Dead. Our friends Marcus and Sharon officiated together: it was so special.
Micaela, Maresa and I — my friend Kendra got very sick and couldn’t make it, but she was with us in spirit :’)

We took plenty of photos with the whole crew, then continued frolicking around in the field until the sun completely disappeared.

Another element of this weekend that panned out so serendipitously was that both the day before and after the wedding were overcast and slightly rainy, but we managed to get the day with this beautiful golden sunset.

dinner & tattoos
This night could have gone on forever and I would not have objected— we finished out the evening in a decked out tattoo airstream next to the restaurant, all getting stick-n-pokes together. Never thought I’d live to see the day that my mom, dad, brother, sister, self, and husband all got tattoos on the same night: highly recommend this activity : )
