For their intimate state park wedding in Cedar Hill, Texas, Eli and Darryl got ready at the beautiful Adolphus Hotel in nearby Dallas. The tattooed grooms both wore shades of blue and gray, as did their wedding party. Then, while blindfolded, the pair took a limo bus to their ceremony spot at Cedar Hill State Park. Despite thunderstorms during the day, the skies cleared while they stood beneath an oak tree and committed to one another. It was a small and intimate ceremony filled with laughter and tears.
Afterward, they celebrated with dinner at their favorite restaurant.
