Small Town Wedding

Travis and I had the privilege of attending the wedding of one of our closest ‘couple’ friends over the weekend. The wedding of Tara Daniel and James Newman took place on Saturday January, 31, 2009 in Rusk, Texas.

 

Where is Rusk? 40 miles south of Tyler on Hwy 69.

 

Rusk is a cute little town of about 1,500 people. You see, James and Tara are both from this tiny town. James was Tara’s first real boyfriend. They started dating when he was a senior in High School and she was a Freshman. James went off to Baylor and Tara was still at home in Rusk. They dated off and on while he was at Baylor and when she went off to Aggieland. The two re-kindled their relationship in the fall of 2007 and were engaged in May of 2008.

 

Tara and James are perfect for each other. It just makes me smile when I see them together. When they opened the church doors and she began walking down the isle to meet James, his face lit up and he had the biggest smile I have ever seen. It was a smile of happiness and pure joy. The wedding was beautiful and tastefully done and her dress sparkled with every move she made.

 

I took one picture the entire weekend and it’s the picture seen here. It is such a small town that the owner of the pennzoil shop congratulated the couple on their big day!

 

James and Tara, thank you for including us in your special day. Travis was so excited to stand by your side as a groomsman just as James was the Best Man in our wedding. We are excited as for y’all as you embark on this journey together. We love y’all!

 

Now they Newman’s are off to a week in beautiful Antigua.
