When Annie first met Caleb, he'd just finished putting a glissando into the Abide Christian Fellowship worship team's rendition of Natalie Grant's "Your Great Name". She was NOT impressed because she thought he'd been trying to show off. But apparently, it worked, because we got engaged two and a half years later. HOLD ON TO YOUR SQUISHMALLOWS, WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!
In lieu of flowers, Caleb brings Annie a LEGO cherry blossom bonsai tree on their first date.
Caleb gives Annie LEGO orchids in celebration of her college graduation.
Annie surprises Caleb with a LEGO treehouse to build together when she visits him at his internship in San Jose. But now, long distance looms as Annie prepares to start a job in Seattle while Caleb returns to Purdue for grad school...
Caleb orders LEGO succulents to be delivered to Annie, an "I'm thinking of you" token while trudging through long-distance dating during his final year at school.
Long-distance no more! Having relocated together to God's Country, Annie and Caleb celebrate their first Valentine's Day in Texas with a vase of LEGO roses from Costco.
Caleb proposes to Annie during a gorgeous Austin sunset, giving her a ring and of course, a bouquet of LEGO wildflowers.
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is the closest airport, found in the Capitol of the Greatest Country in the World. From there, our wedding venue is in range of Uber, Lyft, etc. Airport tip: If you need to eat something at AUS, try The Peached Tortilla for some Asian-influenced Tex-Mex.
For overnight accommodations, have a look in the Lakeway, River Place, or Four Points neighborhoods of Austin. Hotels like this Holiday Inn Express and this Residence Inn (if you need more space) are within 15 minutes of the venue. We’d be remiss not to mention the delightful, family-owned Drury Inn (although it’s further from the venue).
Wear something comfortable, in the dressy casual-to-semiformal range! Our wedding will be outdoors (November in Austin is generally mild, but we'll have heat lamps if things get too chilly by Texas standards).
See you at 2PM on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at Hudson Bend Ranch: 5102 Doss Rd, Austin, TX 78734!
Stay after the ceremony for some games and activities -- LEGOs will be involved. There will also be a light reception, where we hope to share a small selection of our favorite snacks from around Austin with yall!
We chose not to make a gift registry. It already means the world to us that so many of yall are dropping everything just to attend our wedding -- please feel zero pressure to give us anything!
But if you still want to celebrate with a gift, we'll accept with gratitude! Our physical space is limited, so please keep it small.
Please use calebannie@sqm.simplelogin.com for any e-gift cards (we frequent Amazon.com and Whole Foods) 😌
