Lisa and Jeriel were married on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at The Madelyn in Collinsville, Texas — a white barn venue with warm wood-paneled interiors, stone accents, and open fields in every direction. Their celebration was joyful and unhurried, and the whole afternoon unfolded in a few golden hours.
The Details
The day began with the details: Lisa’s bouquet of orange lilies and purple and pink blooms, Jeriel’s matching boutonnière, and the couple’s rings, photographed as everyone finished getting ready. Inside the wood-paneled bridal suite, Lisa’s veil was arranged in front of the tri-fold mirror — a quiet moment before the celebration picked up speed.
A First Touch Before the Ceremony
Instead of a first look, Lisa and Jeriel chose a first touch. At 3:45 PM they stood on either side of a wooden wall, held hands around the corner, and shared a private moment — without seeing each other before the ceremony. It’s a sweet option for couples who want to calm the nerves and still keep the walk down the aisle a surprise.
The Ceremony
Lisa made her entrance through the barn’s tall doors, bouquet in hand, and the ceremony began at 4:00 PM. In front of family and friends — including two flower girls in purple and pink — the couple exchanged vows and rings under the barn’s high, light-filled ceiling.
Portraits, First Dance, and a 5 O’Clock Exit
After family photos, Lisa and Jeriel stepped outside for portraits around the property — walking hand in hand in front of the white barn and sharing a kiss beneath Lisa’s veil. Back inside, their first dance came at about 4:35 PM, the flower girls joined the celebration on the dance floor, and the afternoon wrapped up with a 5:00 PM exit.
