Rehearsal Dinner

The Gage Hotel

Wedding

Ceremony

Why Marathon, TX? Because of Anne Carter, Kara’s Nana, who has been part of this town for over 20 years. Grandpa John left a beautiful legacy in the home he built from the ground up. Their adventurous, full-of-life spirit makes celebrating our big day here incredibly special. We are so grateful to everyone traveling far to join us. Sharing this day with you fills us with so much joy and love. And to those who couldn’t make it, your kind words and congratulations mean the world. We can’t wait to see you in Marathon, TX!
