Courtney

My name is Courtney Purcell.. I am studying Elementary Education at Brigham Young University- Idaho. I am married to the love of my life Randy Mark Purcell and here is our story.

Randy and I met in the fall of 2004 at a Blackfoot High School football game. I had a cousin that played there and we met through some mutual friends. We talked and were friends for three years. Since the day that I met Randy I had a huge crush on him. In March of 2007 we started to date officially. Randy left on his mission in May of 2007 and we wrote every week for two years. Randy returned home in May of 2009. We started dating immediately when he got home and were engaged on July 3rd 2009.

Randy purposed to me along the Snake River at sunset. After which it started to rain. Just a little side note: rain means a lot to Randy and I. It has rained on every important day of our lives such as the day we met, the day we become offficial, the day we looked at rings, the day we got engaged, the day we got married.

{side note: this was my first wedding to photograph and it was POURING! ; but SO perfect for their love story!}

 Randy and I were married on August 15, 2009 in the Draper Utah temple. We have been married for a year and a half now and are loving the married life. We continue to grow in love each day and are excited to see what the future has in store for us!

thanks courty!

stay tuned for more stories.
