Shadrick and Renata are a pretty unique couple as they have the honor of growing up in the same town, sharing the same culture and family values since middle school. While Renata's life took her from high school to military and Shadrick's life took him to McNeal Stables (Saddlebred Horse Training:, High End Kennels (Professional Coon Hunting) and Logging (High End Hauling); they both never dreamed of reconnecting all these years later. Shadrick was focused on continuing his family legacies and Renata was over a thousand miles from her hometown creating an empire for her family as well. Then one day a simple message evolved into perfect timing for the both of them and then them taking their connecting very seriously. Their journey begin to fill up with lots of phone calls, FaceTime, text messaging, travels and visits and keeping their relationship one of honesty, care and admiration. They laughed and joked about things they remembered from middle and high school and quickly realized how much they shared in common. They then began to create time to do literally, everything together (Shadrick sometimes even had to cancel his hunting plans). They were inseparable jovial jokesters, growing into the best of friends; sharing their likes and dislikes and even talked at length about their life's experiences and their dreams. They set new goals together and what started out as what they thought would be a close bond evolved to engaging in a lifetime commitment.
What makes Shadrick and Renata so special and unique is their journey was and still is full of enJOYment. They enjoy each other and fell in love with each other authentically; all while living roughly 1000 miles away.
This admiration and their commitment to always treat each other with dignity, respect and unconditional love resulted in the theme of their "we" --"Their Eyes are Watching God."
They agreed to devote themselves to God's perspective and grew confident that they were ready to share with the rest of the world, their desire to spend a couple of forevers together.
Life took their paths on different roads but decades later, God brought them together to be more than small town crushes.
God connected them; instead- to love each other and fulfill each other's purpose as husband and wife.
The couple created a full experience for their loved ones to enjoy -- a two part Regal Experience influenced by elegance, beauty, grace and distinction.

"Their Eyes Are Watching God"
Shadrick and Renata discussed at length a way to show their life's work, hobbies and personality but also feel their love story's warmth and synergy.
Their theme --"Their Eyes Are Watching God" is based on the two's commitment to each other.. knowing and understanding it takes three. The two of them are both outgoing but private people and understand the assignment. They know the noise of the world is loud and other life influences can be distracting and sometimes overwhelming. The couple does not expect perfection but instead chose to create their foundation on being reminded of the love story and opportunity at true happiness that God has given them. They know keeping God first in all things, they will never depart.
They chose to indulge in a romantic, elegant and opulent setting, inspired by the popular TV series set in 19th-century England, Bridgerton.
The Bride lasered in on the regal era with a modern touch, creating an unforgettable experience. She looked to create a soft and dreamy style evoking the feeling of their love story that may be a fairy tale to some but very real to them!
