How They Met

Myles and Shayla met at Indiana State University in 2015. Myles was a sophomore that just transferred in, and Shayla was a freshman. They met during a Greek Life social that they attended, where they played a human version of hungry hungry hippo (you guessed it, the one where one person holds the legs, and the other walks on their hands to get the balls). Friends at first, they finally became a couple on January 14, 2016. They say the rest is history...

Favorite Things

Favorite Part of Wedding Planning

“My favorite part of our wedding planning was working with all the vendors and making all the plans and then seeing it all come together!”

Favorite Part of Your Wedding Day

Shayla: “My favorite part of the wedding was the moment that Myles and I were able to spend together right after the ceremony. This gave us time to reflect, and a moment to be with each other and take it all in as husband and wife.”

Myles: “My favorite part of the wedding was when I saw Shayla walk down the aisle. I was so nervous standing up there, but after those doors opened I was calm and so happy.”

Main Tip for Other Couples

“Take the plunge and get a wedding coordinator/planner. Weddings are such a beautiful yet stressful time. Having someone there to help you and make sure that all of the details are taken care of makes it easier to enjoy the process a whole lot more. It also helps ensure that nothing is missed, helps you stay on your timeline as much as possible, which helps make your day less stressful.”
