Our Wedding

Allison’s pov: Donald and I met when he started working at Spikes in the summer. We immediately clicked and became inseparable. On August 13, 2022 he popped the big question and we started dating. There was no question in God knew what he was doing bringing us together. We were dating for almost a year when he joined the Army and got sent to basic training on July 11th, 2023. We trucked through long distance like champs which proved neither of us were going anywhere. In December 2023 he came home for Christmas and surprised me. Although he was hiding a lot more than just the fact he came back home. On Saturday the 30th Donald, Me, Aubree, and Josh went to pretty place to see the sunrise. While we were taking pictures I turned around for a second and when I turned back around Donald was on one knee and I said YES! We were originally going to wait until 2026 to get married but neither of us could be apart any longer. December 28th will be the day Donald and I will officially be done with long distance! We would be thrilled if you can join us for this special day and celebrate Donald and I’s start of life together. Donald’s pov: Our story starts when I got a job at spikes after school, we met on my first day and I remember instantly feeling a connection. About 2 months went by and I already knew I wanted Allison to be my girlfriend so on August 13 2022 I had to make it happen. It felt like we had known each other forever when really we knew nothing at all. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Allison. So after leaving for the army 4 days after my 18th birthday all I could think about was being with her forever. I made up my little plan to surprise her around Christmas time and it was actually a double surprise because on December 30 2023 I asked her to marry me and she said yes. We were gonna play the long game and wait out the marriage for a little while but we both decided we couldn’t wait anymore. December 28th me and Allison will make it official and we would love if you would be there and help us celebrate the start of the rest of our lives.

Joshua is the grooms best friend since childhood. Funny story actually they used to hate each other and fight all the time when they were younger, but now they get a long like they’ve been bro’s all their life. Joshua is very witty. He loves music but don’t expect to listen to the whole song before he skips it. It’ll never happen. He loves to have a good time and crack his jokes so make sure you ask him to tell you a joke.

Joshua Mcaleb 

Keri is the brides older sister and only sister by blood. They have been through about anything you can imagine together. There’s been a lot of ups and downs but they’re still there for each other no matter what. Keri is a loving mother, sister, and daughter. She will drop anything she’s doing if someone needs her, and Naomi and Noah are probably coming with her too. 

Keri Neff

Noah is the grooms younger brother and he is a a firecracker. He loves to dance so make sure you peep his moves at the reception. He plays football and wants to make it to the NFL someday and if he doesn’t he’s following in his brother’s footsteps and going to the army. He knows a lot more than he should so just watch out. 

Noah Noll

Cheyenne is one of the brides best friends. They met while working at Arizona together and immediately became close friends. She has a little baby boy Andreas who is the sweetest and wildest little baby. Cheyenne is very sweet herself but she can get comfy on the wild side too. She’s a great mother and an even better friend, and her and the bride have been through the unimaginable together.

Garrett or as the groom calls him Mickle. Mickle and the groom met at basic training went to the same AIT and are now both stationed in El Paso. They’ve been through just about everything together. They have a very goofy relationship and think they are the funniest people on earth (which sometimes they are). Mickle is married to his beautiful wife Makinzie, and they are both wonderful people, so make sure you get to know them a little better.

Aubrey is the grooms youngest and only sister. She is very sweet but 100% can be sassy as well so don’t take her comments too seriously. If you see her and Noah going at it just don’t interfere they’ll work it out. Overall Aubrey is kind hearted and she’s the little sister the bride always dreamed of having. She also can’t wait for the wedding day to come.

Aubrey Noll

Murray is one of the grooms close friends since AIT. On family day after the groom graduated he even tagged along. Murray is very out going and loves to have a good time. He will definitely waste no time to party at the reception, so make sure you join him!
