Our Wedding

We met online! We know, we know.. But it turned out great! So the story goes that Amy noticed a picture of this hunky guy holding an adorable black puppy and decided to check him out. After looking through his profile she decided to send him a message. The next day was a little weird, she got a really strange response from him and thought there was a possibility that she had reached out to a crazy person. But don't worry folks! Lee had just got a new phone and was experimenting with the talk-to-text feature. Needless to say, he soon realized what he had sent her and quickly explained the situation. We got a good laugh out of it and started talking from then on! After about two months of us talking nonstop and Lee asking Amy on dates, they finally scheduled their first date. Lee sent Amy flowers to her work before their date (smooth move Lee). So the date started off with Dave &amp; Busters for dinner and games, which was a blast! Once we were done at Dave &amp; Busters we were not ready for the date to end so we went to a movie. Afterwards, we still wanted to hang out some more. So, we ended up sitting by the fire at Desert Ridge Mall for hours! We talked until about 2:00 in the morning, and it was amazing. It was the best first date both of us have ever been on. We have been inseparable ever since! We are both so thankful for all that we have been able to share together for the last four years and are excited for all the new adventures we will experience together in the coming years. With that being said, we want to thank you for being a part of our story. We hope you will be joining us on our wedding day to share our commitment to spend the rest of our lives together.

How We Met

Our Story

I grew up with this dude who has been my best friend most of my life.  I'm talking since 7th grade when we met through track at our middle school. Growing up, we did so many activities together, from mountain biking, video gaming, to just hanging out on the street talking and laughing til after dark.  He is the nicest, most selfless, and caring person I have ever known.  Yes, he is single ladies!!

Lexi has been my best friend since 2008! She is one of the single best people I know and I couldn't imagine doing this without her by my side. We are truly two peas in a pod! We do everything together. I know, I know.. #friendshipgoals! Seriously though, thank you for being who you are. There is no one else in the world that can be a better M.O.H., best friend, suitemate, advice giver, and hiking buddy like you can!

Lexi Strable

Shawna is my cousin. More like a sister though. We have always been so close and I am so thankful for that. We spent every single day after school and all summer long at my grandparent's house playing and driving my Nanny crazy!  Shawna is one of the smartest,  hard working, thoughtful and sweetest girls you will ever meet!  I am so excited you are one of my girls!

Shawna Mahn

Straight out of Georgia, this man is the brother I never had. He is the goofiest, manliest man I have ever met. He takes care of my sister very well and I can see why she has fallen head over heels for him.  Anyone who crosses his path will fall victim to his friendliness and kindness. Seriously, the guy doesn't know a stranger! I do not know of a cowboy with a heart bigger than his.

Patrick Burns

If you think you know everything about cinema, this man will prove you wrong!  Tyler is full of witty comments and humor.  He is a great friend of mine who plays as hard as he works.  This star wars fanatic loves to travel, play games, and discuss current events.  His companionship should never be questioned, the force is strong with this one!! On a serious note, you have become one of my best friends and I couldn't imagine doing this without you.

Tyler Strable

I am so happy to be getting another brother from another mother!  Matthew has this smile and laugh that is contagious to everyone around him.  Between his music and positivity, Matt is someone everyone needs in their circle of people. He is one of the coolest dudes I know.  Thank you for your support and I love that we are officially going to be family!.

Matthew Blumenstein

Shaleenie-weenie is Lee's sister. One of the best things about Lee is his family. He seriously has the best family in the world! I have had the absolute pleasure of becoming super close with Shaleen. She has such a huge heart and is beautiful inside and out. Shaleen, you are the type of person that brings out the best in everyone around you. So thank you for standing up there with me and your brother! It means the world!

<h3>About Fool Hollow Lake Recreation Area</h3>In 1885, Thomas Jefferson Adair moved into the area with the intention of farming. The locals joked that only a fool would try and farm the place. The name stuck! The tiny town of Adair has long since been covered by the lake, but it was Adair who was responsible for the name Fool Hollow.The park along the lake, located in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, opened in 1994 as a result of cooperation between the U.S. Forest Service, Arizona State Parks, Arizona Game and Fish and the city of Show Low in partnership with Arizona Public Service and McCarty Construction Company. Today, visitors can camp among the tall pines and hike along the lake at a cool 6,300 feet in elevation. Year-round camping, fishing, picnicking, boating and wildlife viewing opportunities make Fool Hollow Lake Recreation Area a popular place.
