We strongly urge our guests to either consider getting the COVID vaccine or getting tested prior to attending the wedding. This doesn’t eliminate risk entirely but it can reduce it. Please consider getting fully vaccinated at least two weeks prior to the wedding date or taking a COVID test (ideally PCR) 24-72 hrs before attending. We recognize that taking the vaccine is a personal decision and should be done after consulting your doctor, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions. If you are not vaccinated or cannot get one due to medical reasons, please consider getting tested instead! Our goal is to maximize the fun by minimizing the risk. If you have any questions about our request, about the vaccines, or about testing, please don’t hesitate to contact us! Once again, we understand that due to the size of the gathering, some of you may not be able to attend. We understand and respect that compeltely. Please just let is know. Love, A&K

A new hotel block link will be available for the Hilton Westchase starting tomorrow 3/28/21, and we will have one for the Marriot Westchase shortly! Stay tuned!

Dear loved ones, We want to have SO much fun on this day! We've been waiting for it for so long! We also want it to be safe. While more of the population has been vaccinated and cases are (hopefully) no longer on the rise (as of today), we want to urge to you to consider a few things when you attend our event. The health and safety of our guests remain a priority for us. As such, we encourage everyone attending to please wear a mask during the ceremony and at the reception if not eating drinking, or taking pictures. Please also respect that some people may want to maintain 6 ft of social distancing, especially if they are not vaccinated. You may notice some of the bridal party unmasked during certain parts of the ceremony and during pictures. We will be doing temperature checks at the door and will have ample hand sanitzer for us. Ushers will do their best to socially distance the seating of family groups at the church, and we are trying to space out our tables at the reception. If you are not feeling well on the day of the wedding or a few days prior, we kindly ask that you stay home and monitor your symptoms. With all of this in mind, we recognize that some of you may still have reservations about attending, and we completely understand. We request that you just update your RSVP on our website by May 1st. We know you will be celebrating with us in spirit! Please help us make our day wonderful AND safe. We cannot wait to celebrate with you! Even if it's the second time around, we are excited to have #AshaAndKyleDownTheAisle

We have postponed our wedding celebration to Saturday, June 19, 2021. Please join us for a vow reaffirmation at Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church and a night of food, dancing, and fun as we celebrate a year of marriage at Signature Manor for the reception afterwards. See you soon!

Hello to our lovely family and friends! We hope you are doing well and have been safe in the midst of this disturbing time. Since our last update, we had the privilege of honoring our original wedding date and got married in a quiet ceremony with our immediate family. It was a joyous and beautiful day, but we still want to be able to share that joy and celebrate with all of you. When we made the decision to postpone to September five months ago, we thought a six-month delay from the onset of the pandemic in the U.S. would provide time for things to settle down. Little did we know, that COVID would have plans of its own and that Texas would also become a hot spot. As of the writing of this post, there were over 9,000 new cases reported in Texas today, and as the cases continue to vacillate up and down on a daily basis (although fortunately in an overall downward trend), we are re-evaluating the safety of holding our celebration with our high guest count in just a few weeks in September. Several of our out of town guests have also expressed that they may be unable to travel at this time, so we are seeing some challenges to hosting our event in September. We ask for your patience as we spend the next week or so to discuss the situation with our venue, vendors, and families. We also thank you in advance for your flexibility and understanding in the event we need to once again postpone. As before, we want to celebrate with each and every one of you in the safest way possible and with the smallest threat of COVID possible looming over the event. Please continue to pray for us as we seek discernment from God about what our next steps should be. We are praying for everyone's safety and well being and we hope to be able to share in the joy of our love and union with you very soon. Be well, The Cunninghams :)

Dear Family and Friends, It is with a heavy heart that we are writing today to inform you that due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to postpone our wedding to a date in the near future. We wanted to let you know as soon as possible so that you have the time to cancel your travel arrangements. Please stay tuned for our new wedding date. Your health is of utmost importance to us, and we have no doubt that when we can come together and celebrate, we're going to have the party of the century! Love, Kyle & Asha

We met with the click of a button, much like many of our generational counterparts today. With all of the randomness and chance that comes with online dating, all we can say is that we are lucky and blessed by God's providence that we found our way to each other. Asha typically starts out this story by saying that it all began while she was checking her phone during a brief period of WiFi access while on a trip in Italy, at which point Kyle usually rolls his eyes, smiles, and shakes his head, because she found a way to bring up Italy...again. Asha describes that she logged back on to CoffeeMeetsBagel and saw her bagel of the day - a funny, sarcastic, cute Aggie with a sweet smile. Kyle says that even though she was a Red Raider, he was taken by how cute all of her photos were, and how she seemed very sweet (she was), and how she seemed very smart (also true). We are each convinced that we messaged each other first, but since Kyle is typing this, Kyle messaged first. He wasn't sure whether this was something that either one would pursue in earnest, but how many times do you get to talk to someone and have it turn out to be meaningful? They conversed back and forth for a few days, and when she returned home, they made plans to meet for dinner. On May 27, 2016, Kyle and Asha met for the first time over dinner. Like any first date, it was a little awkward, but they found themselves talking for hours. Kyle would like to give props to the server at this restaurants for picking up on the first date vibe and not returning with their checks for nearly 2 hours after they finished their meal (in reality, my way with words had already sealed a second date - Kyle). The night ended with each of them smiling, a small warm glow to their hearts, and the excitement of a second date on the horizon.

Over the next three years, Kyle and Asha got to know each other and fell in love. As they grew to understand one another, they also found ways to cultivate their relationship with God. Through moments of thanksgiving and unabated joy, through days of frustration and challenges, through times of grief and of laughter, they reminded each other to turn to God and trust in His planning. God was faithful through Asha's residency and its demanding schedule, and as Kyle applied for and got through graduate school. Even though the road ahead may continue to be filled with hills and valleys, they will trust that the Lord will continue to guide their steps.

Asha loves surprises, so Kyle looked for a way to surprise her...EIGHT times. She came home from work on June 22, the day after she graduated her residency program, and began getting ready. Kyle had told her he was going to take her out to a fancy dinner in celebration of graduation. Convinced he was taking her to a nice steakhouse, Asha got dressed up, but little did she know he was going to make her cry away all of her mascara from tears of joy. When it was time to go on their celebratory date, Kyle instead, handed her an envelope, stating there was a "change of plans". Inside this envelope was a small message and a clue to a location. And so began a series of visits to places that were significant in their relationship. At each location, Asha was even more surprised to see the faces of those she loved and held near and dear to her heart. Each person would greet her with another envelope, and another clue to the next location. The last place was unfamiliar to Asha and came with an address. Kyle quietly drove up to a small park and asked Asha to take a walk with him. After a few minutes of walking through this lovely park, Kyle stopped, and asked Asha to read the last envelope, lucky number 7. It was there, with promises for the future and excitement for continuing their journey together, that Kyle got down on one knee and asked Asha to marry him. Asha ugly cried a little as she said, "Yes!".
