Dianne and I have known Ann Mize for many years, along with their parents, Tom and Joan, and their brother and sisters. Our children went to rival schools-the Mize family at Brandon High School and our girls to NW Rankin.
Ann and Ryan met at orientation for Hinds Community College. Ryan and Ann met due to Ryan's roommate. Ryan asked Ann out on a date and she accepted on September 11, 2003. Their date was to see the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl". Their dating continue all thru college, Ann at Ole Miss and Ryan at Mississippi State University. Ann then worked on her master's degree at Mississippi State University.
Ann and Ryan's big test came when Ann worked for Walt Disney World college program. They came thru that long distance fine.
Ryan proposed to Ann on Halloween night in 2010 and set their wedding date for their first date anniversary, September 11, 2010, so that they would always remember the day their relationship began!
Ann and Ryan's rehearsal, wedding and reception was held at the Castle Hill Pavilion and Park, south of Jackson, MS. Their rehearsal dinner on Friday night was at Penn's Fish House, in Jackson, MS.
I had never been to Castle Hill Pavilion until this wedding. A wonderful place to have a wedding and reception. Outside the main building, that includes dressing rooms and kitchen, you walk down several steps to a wood walkway to a gazebo.The wedding was standing room only in the gazebo that was set up for approximately 100 people.
Yes, the bride's cake and table arrangements had the Disney World theme!
The wedding location was beautiful, the bride and groom were exited about their wedding day and ceremony, I just wish there had been more clouds to reduce the heat and humidity! Oh well, it was in early September in Mississippi.
Ann and Ryan now live in the Houston, Texas area, where Ryan's work is located. Ann continues to search for a school teaching job in that area.
