Groom

Nathaniel Winston


I was born on September 7th, 1987​ to Jody and Martha Winston in Texas. I have one older sister, Adrienne and an older brother, Joseph and of course my six younger brothers: Timothy, Matthew, Andrew, Luke, Philipp and Peter. It was a pretty full house and we were home-schooled​ so I graduated from the prestigious Winston Academy. I studied cooking at the Cesa De Universidad in Mexico City and am working on my degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from the Conrad N. Hilton School at the University of Houston.



I am an Eagle Scout and member of the Order of the Arrow, I taught wilderness survival merit badges for the boy scouts and loved it. I do also have a creative side too, I love metalworking and making wire jewelry. I'm a great cook and was on the U of H Iron Chef team. I like to think I can make a meal out of the weirdest combination of ingredients.



Right now I'm working with a college financial planning firm doing client management and relations, marketing and lots of other odd jobs.  I'm also doing freelance and contract work with public relations, marketing and client management as well as a few shifts a week as a server at Yia Yia Mary's, a local greek restaurant. But the thing I'm really into right now is the job I just started working as a chef doing some really fun stuff with lunch service at a major office building, I get regular hours and I get to spend lots of time in the kitchen creating new and exciting dishes every day!

I'm really excited about the wedding and have taken on the task of handling all the food and alcohol as well as helping my lovely fiance' with whatever she needs.

Bride

Anastasia Shreve


I was Born on March 16th 1987 to Bob and Mary Shreve in Virginia, and I have one brother, Joe, who is 22 months younger than me. A navy brat (on both sides) I moved around a lot, back and forth from Iceland to Virginia until I moved to Pennsylvania when I was 13. That's where I went to high school and was admitted to Waynesburg University where I got a degree in Art with a specialization in Graphic Design. I moved to Houston in January of 2010 and met the love of my life just a few months later.


I love art and have since I could hold a crayon, I took up photography in high school and have been developing that since as well. I like to think of myself as a pretty well-rounded artsy chick and I like to explore new media. From drawing and painting to photography and digital media to sewing and special effects makeup, I love it all. I also enjoy singing and dancing and have an uncanny love of musicals.


Another big love of mine from the time I was a child is animals. I worked in a shelter in college and genuinely enjoy being around animals of almost all types (though I'm terrified of spiders and creeped out by most bugs). I've always had pets; dogs, cats, rabbits, a frog, a gecko, a mouse and a guinea pig (so far).


I currently work as a photo editor for a wedding photographer as well as freelance and contract graphic design and photography, which is exactly

what I love. And most of my free time is currently spent trying to plan the perfect wedding, ours.
