Bride

Shanta

Shanta was born in Fort Worth, TX and raised alongside Rachel Small by their wonderful mother, Vickie Small. Shanta has a degree in Early Childhood Education where she has a rewarding career mentoring administrators and teachers to improve the quality of care and development of children daily. She enjoys sports, exercising and traveling. A love for cooking and trying new foods is where she likes to spend her free time.

Groom

Keith

Keith was born in Dallas, TX and raised alongside his two sisters, April and LaTanya, by their wonderful mother, Sylvia Bell. Keith attended the University of Texas at Austin striving to become an engineer, but, he made his way over into the stressful, yet amazing, career of Air Traffic Control. You won't find a bigger Dallas Cowboys fan than he is. You can probably just say he loves Tony Romo and the Cowboys and put a period right there, however, his other non-Cowboys interests include world travel, computers, technology, sports and tinkering.

Come and enjoy the festivities with us.
It won't be the same without you!

RSVP LOCATION

Our Love

In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.
~Psalms 120:1

First Met Each Other

It was dusk on that day. They had finally decided to meet up for dinner. Everything in Keith's mind failed him with the exception of actually "where" to meet; Macaroni Grill. Shanta pulled up and Keith had absolutely NO clue because ole genius (from his recollection) was looking for some black vehicle and not the actual red passenger vehicle that had just actually pulled beside him. Shanta watched this dufus for about 5 minutes as he sat there perplexed.

First Kiss

Ole Keith got up the courage in a small little photo booth at The State Fair of Texas. Success!

Gift

Thanks for the consideration of giving a gift. As you may know, we are a blended family of two homes down to one. With that comes two of everything and having more than enough items to provide for and fill up most of our entire home. Therefore, we ask that everyone contribute to our honeymoon fund. We pray to attend Carnival in Brazil. Any help towards this goal is more than appreciated. Below is a link to our HONEYFUND where you can make online contributions with credit/debit cards or even setup to bring cash/check at the time of the event.
Everyone knows we try to travel quite a bit, so we have also included links to the American Airlines AAdvantage miles gift page. Gifts of miles can be given to Keith Bell, AAdvantage #1V81L58. If you prefer to gift Starwood points (our personal favorite), you can make a gift to Keith Bell, SPG Number: 50914621078. Again, thanks for your consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Should we RSVP? Do we have to RSVP online?

We urge you to RSVP so that we can get an accurate head coun and prepare a place just for you. The online RSVP is dynamic and helps us to prevent asking "are you coming" and "did you get the invitation" questions. The online site is easy and very organized.

2. Are children allowed?

While we would love to include the children, the budget restraints and the fact that our reception will have alcohol precludes us from inviting children. We hope the event will be an adult affair where we can let down and unwind for an afternoon without having to tend to the little ones.

3. What if I can't make it to the ceremony/dinner, may I come later for the party?

Absolutely, we would love to have everyone come and party with us after the reception. We ask that you still RSVP and decline but leave us a note in the options to let us know you will come later. Depending on the flow of the wedding, the after party will begin at or about 8PM. Please note that attending wedding guests will have priority.

4. Will I have to pay for parking?

No, complimentary valet parking is offered. Attendants will direct you to where to go.

5. Is there assigned seating? Which side do I choose?

There is no assigned seating outside of the wedding party and reserved seats for the immediate family. Please come choose a seat and not a side.

6. What happens if I arrive late? Are late arrivals accepted?

The short answer is no. Leave lots of extra time to allow yourself to make it to the venue and navigate around. The online maps of Google and iPhone are pretty accurate in providing navigation to the facility; however, take care in knowing that it will take a fair share of time to park and seat many guests. The ceremony promptly begins at 6:30PM.

7. Can I bring additional guests?

Event planning was based on the numbers provided. It is imperative to RSVP by September 30. Please reach out to us and we will see what we can do to accomodate additional requests. Thanks for your kind consideration in this matter.

8. What if I don't have a PayPal account to give to the honeymoon fund account?

You are more than welcome to bring this gift to the wedding. We simply ask that you use the Honeyfund site to help us keep track. It is also good to use as a gift-giving guide. Please keep in mind that we are a blended family with, what it seems like, TWO of everything. This honeymoon fund keeps us from having THREE of everything. When you click on the "Honeyfund" link in the "Gifts" section of our site, there (on the Honeyfund site) is an option to let us know that you will bring the gift with you to the event. Please choose that.
