Robbie and Bekah met in the summer of 2014 while volunteering at a music festival in Houston. After scanning tickets all morning we followed each other around to several memorable shows. We didn’t want to split up until we had to leave. We stayed in touch over the summer sharing music and getting to know each other. We stayed in frequent contact over the next two years and when our phone conversations became too lengthy, we decided it was time to meet up again.

Robbie made the drive to Texas for what was fortunately not an awkward visit. In fact, it was so enjoyable that Bekah soon made the trip to Arkansas on the next visit. Soon we were dating and taking many more trips between Texas and Arkansas, as well as other destinations like Nashville, Ireland, New York, and Spain. Since it’s not possible to travel as often as we wanted to see each other, Robbie packed up and moved to Houston after a year and 10 months of long-distance dating.

Another year and many memories later we decided that we want our memory collection to get as large as it can be. To that end, we got engaged hiking in the desert of Big Bend National Park. Bekah said it was impressive to see Robbie get down on one knee after a long day of hiking so of course she said yes.

Because we like to keep things simple, we decided to have our wedding at the courthouse in Houston on August 8th, 2020. There is a wedding video posted below.

We only meant to spend a few more months in Houston but moving plans were delayed by the 'VID. Eventually we did get to move to NYC in January of 2022. We decided there that we'd like to have a kid (or two?). Now we have one due on November 19th, 2023 :) and we'll be moving to Northwest Arkansas to have her there.
