I Will Stay With You

As Kourtney waited to walk down the aisle, she thought about her personal vows, which included two verses from the Bible’s book of Ruth — “Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God…”

Oh Happy Day

When I’m With You

“There’s just something about the way we relate to each other,” Tim says. “I struggle to articulate it or quantify it, but when it’s just when I’m around her I just feel better.”

Real Partners

Planning the wedding was such a great experience for Tim and Kourtney that they hope to work together on other creative projects. “I want to get to the point where we’re working side by side and spend every day together,” Tim says.

Good Memory

When they first started dating Tim — who is originally from Louisiana — told Kourtney in passing that he wanted a second line dance at his wedding. She never forgot.

The Best Time Ever

“I walked outside and I get handed an umbrella and the trombone started going and I looked at my uncle and he had his legs up stepping. It was the greatest moment of the day. I was like, ‘Oh man. She cares!’”
