Kayla and Ryan met in high school and had a slow-burn romance until officially coming together in college. For their wedding, they wanted it to be unique, special, and all about them, so they decided to take their immediate family on a trip for their western-style Joshua Tree elopement.

Their ceremony was so full of love and tears. During the ceremony, they read their vows to each other and gushed about how their relationship was a long time coming. They talked about how they slowly made their way toward each other until they finally realized they had romantic feelings for one another. Their families were so supportive and full of love, and they were happy to celebrate them. It was a gorgeous day.

This couple is not one to skimp on fashion details. Kayla bought her western-style dress, perfect for the dessert, at a cool thrift store in St. Louis. Mays Place, the STL thrift store is also where Ryan bought his western concho and shoes.
