During her 3rd year of PT school, Noelle noticed the new kid sitting in the front row. Travis had recently transferred to Husson University and, since they were both in the same program, they took the majority of their classes together. He always sat in the front, and she was always in the back. She stared at the back of his head for several weeks until once, during a particularly boring lecture, she decided to messaged him on Facebook to say hi… and the intrigue began. They chatted online, occasionally studied together, and eventually became friends. One day, in the back class, Noelle and her friend played a game. They matched their first names with the last names of all the cute boys in class to see if any would be a good fit. Her friend announced that “Noelle Deabay” sounded promising, and Noelle was mortified because she realized Travis could hear them talking. But clearly it was meant to be! Over summer break, while sitting together in her car and listening to the epic melody of Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend” playing on the radio, they decided to make their relationship “official”. The rest is history!

deabay-rebecca-richards-photography-6^ The bridesmaids thought of such a cute surprise! A few weeks earlier, they had asked Travis questions about Noelle and wrote down his answers. While everyone was getting ready, they read the answers to Noelle. Some were funny, but some were incredibly sweet…

deabay-rebecca-richards-photography-5^… resulting in a few tears :)

deabay-rebecca-richards-photography-8^ THAT DRESS <3 She went all the way to the infamous Kleinfeld Bridal in New York to find it!

deabay-rebecca-richards-photography-51^ I love all the details from their wedding day. Travis and Noelle are both wine aficionados, so they included lots of fun wine-related details like naming the tables and using corks for place cards.
