Despite all of the ups and downs of 2020, sweethearts Herbie and Kelsey knew that they wanted to tie the knot no matter what came their way. They pulled off one of the most gorgeous, elegant, and perfectly intimate weddings we’ve ever laid on eyes on and we know that we struck gold with this magical Texas Hill Country day.
Long before they decided to make it a forever thing, Herbie and Kelsey were classmates at Farnsworth Middle School in Albany, NY where they not only became good friends, but they were part of an even bigger group of friends that would stay close for years to come (and some of those old friends were even at their wedding). Many years later in 2017, after life had taken them in separate directions, Kelsey, who was working on her PhD at Rutgers University in New Jersey, had an opportunity to to present her research at Texas A&M. While on her trip to Texas, Kelsey decided to reach out to Herbie who had recently moved to San Antonio for a new job and the two immediately hit it off. The way Herbie and Kelsey went from childhood friends to soulmates all in a few short decades pulls on our heartstrings so dang much.
A few years later in 2019, with a little help from their cat Teddy, Herbie popped the question right before a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. Kelsey, who was completely surprised, said yes and these two began planning their next new chapter together.
After 2020 stopped them from their original wedding plans, Herbie and Kelsey decided to bring their celebration to Fredericksburg for the most divine October wedding. Every last detail about their day was perfection, from Kelsey’s three (!!!!!) modern, yet elegant bridal looks to timelessly beautiful florals and decor to the constant sense of love all around these two, we were blown away by this sweet Texas day. Seeing Herbie and Kelsey’s devotion and admiration for each other on their big day was not only incredibly inspiring, but it was deeply moving for us. These babes might be young, but we know their love is of a deeply profound and rare variety.
Cheers to the Goldensteins, we’re so thankful for this day with Herbie and Kelsey, here’s so many more years of pure joy and love.
