Church Wedding Ceremony + Tent Reception by the Lake

Date:October 3, 2025

Caroline Smith and Jake Douglass first crossed paths during their time at Texas A&M. “We both knew of one another for the first couple of years of college, but did not become friends until junior year when we were both in the same accounting program,” Caroline recalls. “I promise we aren’t nerdy, though,” she smiles.

Years later, Jake proposed on the very lawn where they would later celebrate their reception. “Horseshoe Bay is such a special place to me as my family has had a house there since before I was born, and it has also become a special place to Jake,” the bride shares. He proposed right on the water, then surprised his new fiancée with all of their family and friends at a post-engagement celebration, followed by a long weekend on the lake.
