Amanda Ballard & Craig Arnold

Our Story

Craig and I would first like to express sincere appreciation to all of our many family members and friends who have helped us to be where we are today and for visiting our wedding website. We have had so much fun and experienced so much thus far in our journey. Craig and I met at my sisters wedding in October 2008. We were helping set up for the reception when we started flirting :) I kept telling my mom that I needed to go home and get ready for the rehearsal, Craig looked at me and said "yeah, and a little make-up wouldn't hurt"... I was shocked, but at the same time I was intrigued. Shortly after my sisters wedding Craig and I started dating. We hit it off immediately!!

For Craig's 29th birthday I thought it would be nice to go to Yosemite. Little did I know it would be the most memorable trip we would take. We had gone to the Ahwahnee for lunch, and then we decided to ride the bus around the park. It started snowing so we got off at the Yosemite Falls and thought it would be fun to hike up to the base of the waterfall. Once we got to the base of the waterfall, I thought it would be nice to take a picture of the two of us. Craig set up his camera, and I positioned myself on the rock so that Craig and I could both fit into the picture. When Craig hit the timer I said "Okay stand behind me!" And to my surprise he got down on one knee and said "No I'm doing this." Craig said my reaction was priceless!!!! My first words were not yes, or of course.... but "ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!" The moment couldn't have been better.

Craig and I are so excited to begin the next stage of our lives together
