Carlie & Tom were married in March 2009 in the historic Texas town of Fredericksburg … right down the road from Luckenbach (as in “Waylon & Willie and the boys …”). Though their original wedding plans had to be postponed until after Tom’s deployment to Iraq, the end result was one of true joy and love that friends and family enjoyed immensely!

Tom & Carlie met in classic Texas-style … deep in the heart of Austin’s 6th Street. The chemistry was instant, but the logistics of being together ~ not so much.

Tom was in the U.S. Army, stationed at Fort Hood. Carlie was finishing up her Civil Engineering Master’s degree. And as so often happens, their future together was put on hold several times in the next few years. After a year long tour in Iraq, Tom returned and they TRULY celebrated their reunion.
