Our Wedding

We are so excited to share that we were married in a private, intimate ceremony on December 20, 2025! We exchanged our vows in the same church where my parents were married in 1987. I had the honor of wearing my Mama's stunning wedding gown, as my Dad walked me down the aisle. The day was incredibly sentimental. Now, we can’t wait to celebrate all over again and renew our vows with each of you! Our Backstory goes a little something like this: Noah and I met on November 11th, 2023, in Minot, North Dakota, by pure chance, perfect timing, and answered prayers....TRULY. Noah, a Texas native, had been working in the oilfield up North while earning his flight hours at the Minot Aero Center. I noticed his accent immediately and asked where he was from. When he answered, “Stephenville, TX,” it caught me off guard. Stephenville had been my home away from home, several years prior; the Cowboy Capital of the World, and a place that will always be dear to me. Somehow, my piece of Texas was standing right in front of me. From our very first encounter, Noah felt like home. We were in different seasons of life at the time, however. He wasn’t ready to settle down and I was. But God moved in ways that only He can, and our genuine connection continued to deepen. In January 2025, a year into our relationship, Noah accepted an Offshore Field Engineer position in Houston. I stayed in North Dakota to complete my Nursing Degree and continue working as an Aesthetician. Long distance was challenging, but we stayed focused on supporting one another's goals. Before Fall Semester began, Noah took me to Cancun, Mexico, where on August 2nd, 2025, he asked me to be his Wife! When we returned to the U.S., Noah received a call from his former company in North Dakota asking him to come back. It was a full-circle moment. We wouldn’t have to commit to two more years apart, after all. Noah moved back to ND and continues to work out West, with countless irons in the fire that I’m so proud of him for. We are excited for the future and all that God has in store! As we continue building a life together, we look forward to more family time, hiking, camping, skiing, horseback riding, traveling, and eventually starting a family of our own. We are deeply grateful for the love, support, and prayers we’ve received along the way. We thank God for His countless blessings and the opportunities He continues to bestow upon us. With Him, all things are possible, and we couldn’t ask for better people to be on this journey with. Xx See You Soon!Mr. &amp; Mrs. Hobbs
