Ryan wore a tuxedo by Kiton that Crawford Brock at Stanley Korshak tailored to fit him perfectly. His boots were custom-made by Republic Boots in Texas, and his hat was from American Hat Co. Mackenzie Brittingham designed custom black dresses for the bride’s sisters.
The wedding weekend kicked off the night before the big celebration with a “cowboy cocktail welcome night” at the Crescent Club in Downtown Dallas. “That place holds so many cherished family memories, it was the perfect spot to start our celebration,” Hassie says. “We really went all out with the theme, turning the club into an old-time Western bar complete with a mariachi band, Texas wildflowers, and a great DJ.”
As the evening unfolded, family members and friends stepped up to give toasts and tell stories that had guests moving from laughter to tears (and back again). “We danced and drank into the night—probably a bit more and later than we should have considering the big day ahead—but it set the perfect tone for the rest of the weekend,” Hassie says. “It was the ideal way to begin our wedding festivities, surrounded by all the people we love in a place that feels like home.”
On the day of the wedding, Hassie got ready with her three sisters at their family home, before the couple took photos with their wedding party. “The atmosphere was so relaxed and fun that it completely eased any nerves I had,” Hassie remembers.
Ahead of the ceremony, everyone was greeted in the foyer and garden with shots of Bingham’s Bourbon—a passion project turned liquor brand founded by Ryan. Guests then moved to a stunning cathedral-style tented conservatory, constructed over the existing pool for the ceremony. “It was surreal to see our family home transformed into the venue for our ceremony,” Hassie remembers. “Nathan and his team outdid themselves, making sure every detail reflected Ryan’s and my personality and love story.” Flowers lined the center aisle leading to the platform, where a suspended floral treatment anchored the altar.
The couple’s wedding party was made up of their closest friends and family—including Hassie’s three sisters and some of Ryan’s oldest and dearest friends, who over the years have become an extension of his family. Ryan’s three children followed the bridal party down the aisle, serving as the flower girl and ring bearer, as well as walking their dog down the aisle. “They were such a big part of this day,” Hassie says. “Seeing the joy on their faces truly made the celebration feel complete in every way.”
