Wedding Inspiration

Just for fun, I've decided to include some of our wedding inspiration. You know, just enough to inspire the mind and make you wonder what we're really all about. Enjoy!



Marvel Comics

Peonies

Blue Shoes

Skyline Chili

Graeter's Black Raspberry Chip

IBC Cherry Limeade

Meet the Bride and Groom

Dustin and I are serious actors with a not-so-serious outlook on life. We enjoy being on stage, having fun, and being quirky. That's why we decided to make our wedding reflect that to a T. I mean, why shouldn't it? We love each other and we love our silly little lives. So here's to our wedding and the crazy inspiration behind it....

Kristin is a high school theatre teacher and director. She enjoys acting, directing, and watching Dustin play video games. She is 23 years old and obsessed with the television series LOST. She is also a huge fan of Glee and Flash Forward. Dustin has recently gotten Kristin into film and movies not to mention NFL and College Football. Kristin plays the violin and wishes she could sing like Lea Michele (Rachel from Glee). Kristin loves Dustin with all of her heart and is so blessed that he has chosen her to be his wife.

Dustin was a Mass Communications: Film and Dramatic Arts major in college and dreams of becoming an actor, director, or producer. He is 23 and 3/4 years old and has a deep love for the Cincinnati Bengals (not exceeding his love for Kristin). He also likes the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Cincinnati Bearcats. Dustin's obsessions include Marvel comics, cherry limeade (Minute Maid and IBC), Graeter's Black Raspberry Chip icecream, Movies, and LOST. Dustin is such a loving guy with a huge heart, and he had to work really hard to win the heart of the one he loves. It was definitely worth it.

How we Met

Our Story: The Beginning

Dustin and I met at Trevecca Nazarene University in the fall of 2005 while working on the musical Annie Get Your Gun. During this time, we were just acquaintances and didn't become friends until the following spring while working on Till We Have Faces. During this time, Dustin developed a crush on me, and didn't fully win me over until the Spring of 2007. After dating briefly, I unknowingly broke Dustin's heart. Finally, a year and a half later, Dustin asked me to attend the Junior/Senior Banquet as his date. I said yes and the rest is history! Now looking back, I can't believe that it took me that long to say yes to such a wonderful guy. We got engaged on February 7, 2009.

Our Story: The Proposal

The Proposal

We had discussed getting engaged the summer after graduation, so this proposal came as a huge surprise to the bride-to-be. It happened on the final night of my senior project. I had been directing You Can't Take it With You for the last two months and had been working with a wonderful cast and production crew. This was one of the best experiences of my entire life and it will always hold a special place in my heart. What better way to top it off than with a proposal?

Apparently, everyone knew about the proposal except for me. Word spread like wildfire, and it was a miracle that I didn't find out. While getting ready for closing night, I asked my roommates if directors are supposed to dress up on closing night, and they quickly responded with a yes. For that final performance, everyone was there- family, friends, crew, and audience.

During the show, news had been circulating backstage about the upcoming proposal. The cast and crew were on their toes and the show went off with exhilarating energy and without a hitch. I was thrilled. After the performance, the cast called me up onto the stage for what I thought was a thank you to the director. Little did I know, that when I turned around Dustin would be on one knee asking for my hand in marriage. Needless to say, I said yes.

This night was so special for both of us. It was absolutely perfect. We got engaged in the place where we met, surrounded by the people that we love most, and ironically...in the limelight.
