Our Love Story
THE HOUSE OF HUTCHINSON
Before love, there was friendship.
Desmond and Tyra met in college and spent six years building a connection rooted in trust, ease, and familiarity. Though life led them through different seasons and places, they stayed connected. Their bond was steady and unforced, growing quietly over time.
Desmond knew what he was pursuing long before Tyra did. With patience and intention, he continued to show up. Encouraged by a mutual friend who always believed in the connection, Tyra eventually gave this love a chance. Their relationship began long distance, shaping a partnership built on communication, effort, and choosing each other with care.
From the beginning, faith guided their steps. God’s timing shaped their story, reminding them that what is meant to last is never rushed. Prayer and trust became their foundation, grounding their relationship in purpose and belief.
Family has always been central to both Desmond and Tyra. They were raised in homes where traditions mattered, time together was valued, and support was constant. Through their families, God provided a strong foundation rooted in faith, love, and commitment.
As they begin this next chapter, they do so with gratitude for the legacy entrusted to them and intention to build upon it. Their marriage is the continuation of a story already in motion, shaped by generations before them and carried forward with love.
This is the House of Hutchinson.
Built with intention. Rooted in faith. Meant to endure.

**The ceremony and reception will take place approximately 35–40 minutes outside of central Houston. Please keep this in mind when booking accommodations.**
Transportation & Parking
There is ample onsite parking, including handicap-accessible and standard parking, available at the venue.
That said, we encourage guests to prioritize safe travel to and from the ceremony. Rideshare services—or any transportation options we may arrange for the day—are strongly recommended for convenience and peace of mind.
Transportation details are currently being finalized. We are exploring options to help guests travel comfortably and safely to and from the ceremony and reception, with more information to be shared closer to the date.
For those traveling in, Houston is rideshare-friendly from both airports and throughout the city.
Should I Stay Closer to Venue?
We will be offering a room block at a partnered hotel closer to the venue. That said, aside from the ceremony and reception, most wedding-related activities (and great food, shopping, and exploring) will take place within the city of Houston. We recommend choosing the option that best fits how you’d like to spend your weekend.
Again, the ceremony and reception will take place approximately 35–40 minutes outside of central Houston. Please keep this in mind when booking accommodations.
