Melissa & Wade’s Small Town Mississippi Engagement

February 4, 2016 by Mid-South Bride Leave a Comment

Today’s small town Mississippi engagement session with Melissa and Wade was submitted by Daesha Marie Photography. From the sweet musical session in the beginning to the playful frolicking at the end, this engagement session is a reminder of how wonderful love in a small town can be!

Melissa & Wade’s Story

Wade and I rented from the same landlord, Mrs. Mary Boteler, in Leland, Mississippi. I came there to teach at a critical needs school. Wade was there for an internship with Bayer. Mrs. Boteler had suggested that we meet more than once, but we still hadn’t gotten around to that yet.

One weekday evening, Wade and I both happened to go to Vince’s, a local bar and restaurant in the small Delta town. Mutual neighbors had invited us both to the restaurant, none of whom we knew well. When Wade came in late, he had to sit at the only vacant seat at the end of the noisy table by me. Neither of us could hear the others’ conversations, so we began to talk to each other. I knew that evening that there was something special about Wade, and I wanted to get to know him better.

Over the next few months, we spent more and more time together. I came to love our awkward conversations, his heavy metal music that I wouldn’t admit I hated, and our mutual love of Tervis tumblers. Wade’s sweet nature and good heart were hard to pass up. As I became more interested, I noticed a mutual friend had liked a photo of him on Facebook. I messaged the friend, Mrs. Brenda Lowry, on Facebook to find out that her family knew Wade’s mother’s family well. After thorough background checking (okay…stalking), I decided that it was meant to be!

After a couple of years that have involved sort of long distance, really long distance, and moving in together, I’m excited to say that our relationship has stayed strong. Wade’s calm demeanor helps level my high-strung personality. His responsibility evens my scatter-brained tendencies. We are totally different and perfectly compatible. What isn’t to love? I’m looking forward to many more years of crazy with my eye candy and soul food.

Lindsey & Josh’s Mississippi Engagement

We love this engagement session that took place on a private residence in Mississippi. Submitted by Adam + Alli Photography, it’s completely adorable with such a sweet couple and their puppy.

Lindsey and Josh first met in Spanish class together, but never actually had a real conversation until they met at Lindsey’s sorority’s party. Years later, they’re still madly in love and engaged!

After a nine hour car ride back from Texas two days before Christmas, Josh brought her back to her parents house in Jackson where he had planned a special surprise. They pulled up to a house decorated with rose petals and white candles. The ring was in the center of the arrangement, Josh got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. Her brother came behind them, taking the photos and both of their families were inside with tons of food and nice bottles to celebrate. Lindsey knew Josh was ‘the one’ in college, he was the only guy to give her butterflies and she didn’t want that to go away. The more she got to know him, the deeper she felt and the the more she knew she couldn’t lose him.
