On a warm May evening surrounded by friends and family Courtney Suzanne Ryan wed Mark Brockmueller in a romantic ceremony in the backyard of couple’s new home in Whitesboro, Texas.

On hand to celebrate were her mother, Nancy Sue Ryan, and long-time friends including Amy Mackie Smith, Jennifer Allan Holt and Jamie West.

“I could not have dreamed of a prettier day,” Ryan said. “I am feeling so blessed and loved.”

Ryan’s handsome dog, Batman served as the ring bearer and blessed the arbor the day before the ceremony.
