Our close friends, Rhyan and Ashley ( who are now married as well), were dating at the time and Chad was in a band with Rhyan. I went to meet my friend, Ashley, and see her boyfriend’s band play. They were playing a gig a Pegasus lounge and Chad was so shy that he didn’t even look my way the entire night other than when Rhyan and Ashley introduced me to the guys in the band. We eventually became friends when I would come over to their house with Ashley to hang out.

Chad, What were your thoughts when you first saw her?

 I thought she was smoking hot but was focusing on the gig.

What about you Tea?

I thought this guy is kind of rude even though he’s cute since he wouldn’t talk to me at all.

So Chad, tell us how you proposed.

We went to the Hillsborough River State Park for a hike and I proposed to her on the suspension bridge

And what was going through your mind Tea?

I totally had my mind on getting away from all the mosquitos that were swarming around me as it was November at the time. When he got down on one knee I couldn’t believe it but I also thought finally!

What was the best part of the wedding?

The best part was being able to celebrate with all the people we loved in a fun laid back kind of way. The song my Dad sung really stood out for us as it was truly heart felt and very sweet.

Finally, what are your plans for the future?

We hopefully will start touring nationally with our band while we figure out how to start a family at the same time

Tea and Chad would like to thank all of the wonderful vendors who contributed to making the wedding an amazing success.
