True love stands by each other’s side on good days and stands closer on bad days.

It all started when…

Brandon and I met when I was in college through a mutual friend! This friend had posted a Snapchat of him being a complete dork (acting like the weatherman) I knew I had to know this guy so I asked the mutual friend to give me his Snapchat! After I was given his Snapchat I added him... he did not Snapchat me? Probably because he had no idea who I was so I had to shoot my shot first... We then got to meet in person and fell in love after that!

THE PROPOSAL

Thank gosh for my best friend on this one! Brandon is not the most romantic... My best friend helped him set up an amazing proposal! My friend’s husband works for Betenbough and they told me there was a fancy dinner with photobooths and all the things and that I should get dressed up in heels for the event! When arriving at the "fancy dinner" I was surprised by rose petals leading into the willows where a sign that "Marry Me" was there on a cute rug. After a sweet speech from Brandon, he got down on one knee!

WHAT MOMENT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO ON YOUR WEDDING DAY?

Besides becoming a VanAtta, I am excited to experience my first dance as a wife with my husband! Father-daughter dance is also going to mean the world to me!

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TWIN LAKES?
Everything about Twin Lakes was perfect for me! After searching and touring venues and still unsure I then visited Twin Lakes and immediately said yes to the venue without hesitation. It is my style of place and came with more than anyone else offered us. The team at Twin Lakes is very prompt and extremely easy to work with. Also, the sunset behind the lake is the prettiest I have seen in west Texas!
