Their caterer delivered meals to their room and donated the remaining meals to a warming center in Houston at the couple’s request. Ms. Broussard’s maid of honor arrived with a makeup artist. And their original venue sent their photographers to shoot the wedding.Mr. Craft and Ms. Broussard ultimately married with only 10 family members, which included Ms. Broussard’s mother, son and maid of honor and Mr. Craft’s brother and his brother’s girlfriend.Mr. Craft said they are “grateful to have literally weathered a storm to become husband and wife.”Mr. Craft, 37, grew up in Mississippi. He is a coaching manager at Asurion, a company that provides insurance for consumer electronics, where he oversees the staff training programs.Ms. Broussard, 34, is a native Houstonian and a graduate of Sam Houston State University. She also has a post-baccalaureate certificate from Lone Star College. She is currently working on her master’s in management information systems at Lamar University and works remotely from the couple’s home in Katy, Texas as a math intervention specialist for a virtual public school.The couple met in 2014 at a dive bar in Houston called the Flat. “A pretty woman is sitting next to me, an obscure song comes on, and we are the only two people who seem to know it,” Mr. Craft said of Jesse Boykins III’s “Amorous.” That led them to chat, which led Ms. Broussard to follow Mr. Craft on Instagram.Ms. Broussard was on a date that night with another man, who happened to be a childhood acquaintance of Mr. Craft, as fate would have it.The instigator was an Instagram post. “Jerimy posted a picture of shrimp and grits. It looked so delicious that I had to ask him about the restaurant,” Ms. Broussard said. He messaged her back with the name of the restaurant. “And did her one better. I invited her to it too,” Mr. Craft said.Their first date was Sept. 30, 2017 at the Backstreet Cafe. After that, “We would meet monthly to enjoy brunch at various local restaurants,” Mr. Craft said, referring to them as “brunch buddies.”But in June 2018, their relationship shifted. Mr. Craft invited Ms. Broussard to join him on a trip to New Orleans to witness his best friend’s white coat ceremony honoring his medical school graduation. She said yes.A month later, Mr. Craft knew Ms. Broussard was the one. They were a... https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/26/style/ice-and-snow-would-not-stop-their-wedding-in-texas.html
