Our Wedding

Ally and Brian had always run in the same circles. We were part of the same BART Facebook group for at least a year before we met in real life. It wasn’t until our friends, Chris and Jenny Scully, threw a NYE party on Dec 31, 2019 (that was also a surprise proposal for Jenny,) that we actually had our first conversation. Due to the 2020 pandemic, neither of us spent much time socializing for the first half of that year. Once restrictions relaxed, we finally reconnected again at our friend Greg’s birthday party at the park. We became better friends after that, sometimes meeting for lunch in the City when we both had office days. In 2022, the stars finally aligned, and we were both single and available to give this relationship a shot. The rest is history. We hit the ground running and never looked back.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Our Story

Photos

I first met Kasey my freshman year of college and before long we became inseparable. We've since laughed our way across New Orleans, Scottsdale, Manchester (TN), and all over California. I can't think of a better person to have by my side. Perhaps best of all, after 17 years of friendship, we are getting married within several months of each other. It's a lot on both of our plates but with our handy spreadsheets and a bottle of wine, we're ready to take this on together.

I've known Lauren from day one. We've grown up together. I went from babysitting her and her siblings to having the honor of being a bridesmaid in her wedding a few years back. We've had many adventures together throughout the years and our bond has grown immensely. More recently, watching her become a mom has also been so much fun. I can't think of anyone besides her to be my matron of honor.

Lindsey is my little sister and I'm so excited to have to the chance to have her by my side during my wedding, just as I had the opportunity to be there during hers. We might not have always gotten along as well as we do now but she's one of the first people I text exciting news to or share pictures of our various animals. She has always been headstrong in following her passion and won't hesitate to laugh in the face of danger....HA, HA, HA, HA.

I've always hoped to marry into a family that made me feel like I was a part of them from the start. Meg has welcomed me with open arms. I can't wait for our blended family to become official and have her be a part of it!

Our mothers met in a mom's group before either of us were born. Our friendship began  before we could walk. We went to preschool together, attempted (and failed) dance classes, and began our love of costumes/crazy outfits right off the bat. Unfortunately she moved away to Florida around third grade but LUCKILY, the internet was just becoming available. I'd like to give a special shout out to AIM and MySpace for helping to keep this friendship strong. Eventually she moved back to the Bay Area and I'm so lucky to have her nearby once more.

Catherine is another of my longest friendships. We met at Dominican Kindergarten and stayed in school together until I moved away after sixth grade. Her parents treated me like their second daughter and I will never forgot playing mermaids all day in her pool and coming inside to a huge steak dinner. However, these days you're more likely to find us on the couch with wine watching old Disney movies. Catherine is one of my first phone calls when anything major in my life happens so it only makes sense she'd be here with me during my wedding. I look forward to many future milestones with her.

I've known Nat about 9 years now. We'd always ran in the same circles until one day before I left on a Vegas trip, I sat down at Modern China and started talking to the girl behind the bar. Next thing you know, she's flying in to meet us and the rest is history. My polish princess is always down for an ABBA dance party, catching last minute flights, and was the best lockdown buddy I could ask for. I can't wait to open a bottle of champagne with her on my big day!

Jasmin and I have been friends about 10 years. Who can be sure how we actually met, I'm pretty sure it was one of those many downtown WC nights....probably in the Mr. Lucky's bathroom. Since then we've found a shared love of camping trips, owning one too many animals, and Mikuni's oyster shooters. No one can put down sushi quite like her. Although Mikuni's is our main spot, she's also taught me the joys of hotpot and korean BBQ.  I love our girls dinners and look forward to sharing many more meals and/or scary movies together.

Where do I start with Ty? We officially got to know each other at a NYE party and hit the ground running after that. I couldn't ask for a better defender than Ty. If anyone ever had the audacity to hurt my feelings, I knew I had someone to back me up. Our love of sparkles, EDM, and the perfect amount of snark has really made him one of my closest friends. I wish he still lived nearby or even in the same state. However, NOLA is a pretty cool destination to visit so I'm not too upset. I can't wait to dance with him at my reception!

Max Curtis

Bri is probably my most recent friend on this list but she's really been there for me over the past few years and played a huge role in my relationship with Brian when we first started dating. We've gone on several trio trips up to Brian's family cabin and a few glamping/hiking trips. We share a lot of the same passions and although I miss being able to walk to her apartment in a moment's notice, I love watching her down in San Diego continue to grow her love of hiking and one day, hitting the Pacific Crest Trail.
