Real Weddings: Nicole Schell & Jacob Randell

What could be more fun than a Big Top-inspired event?

Nicole Schell and Jacob Randell went to high school together, but that was news to Nicole. “I had no idea who he was,” she says, “but apparently he knew me and had a crush.” It wasn’t until years later that a little Facebook stalking would bring the two together. “I saw a picture of this cute guy on a friend’s page,” says Nicole.  She friended him, and that was just the spark Jacob needed to make his move. He asked her out, and the two were inseparable from that point on. They wed on April 14, 2012, in a vintage circus-themed wedding (think striped canopy, vintage knickknacks, and flavored popcorn from Mom & Popcorn in McKinney), attended by their 200 guests, plus one cute, costumed monkey.
