Some love stories start at a coffee shop; others start at a Buc-ee’s over chocolate-covered pretzels.

Brody Baumann and Marci Clayton met at a Texas Buc-ee’s in 2021. Now, as they are preparing for their June 2027 wedding, they’ve invited the famous mascot. Buc-ee the Beaver, to be an honorary guest.

The couple presented Buc-ee with a custom save-the-date, receiving a enthusiastic double thumbs-up in return. Their wedding plans include several node-to-Buc-ee details, such as a beaver-themed groom’s cake, and Baumann even joked about having Buc-ee serve as ring bearer or replacing flower petals with Beaver Nuggets.

When your love story begins at Buc-ee’s, inviting the beaver is practically mandatory.
