For their March wedding in Dallas, Eli and Darryl got ready at the beautiful Adolphus Hotel. 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.
