Wedding Day

Ceremony

Reception

Hey friends! We're beyond excited to share our special day with you all, and we can't wait to party and celebrate in style!  As we're planning an adult-only bash, we kindly request the pleasure of your company... without your tiny tornados (aka kiddos) in tow. We adore the little ones, but this one's a kid-free zone! We want to let our hair down, dance the night away, and enjoy some well-deserved adult time with our favorite people (that's you!). 💃Hope you understand, and we can't wait to celebrate with you!

Our Wedding

Our love story was born on the road as we met at our running club. Sweat, smiles, and serendipity brought us together in 2015. Meanwhile, we’d catch up in passing but our paths never quite aligned. For years we talked about hanging out, but it wasn’t until a Halloween party in 2020. As I gathered the courage to ask Ariel out, my heart was pounding like a bass drum. I didn’t know at that time she had never considered dating a woman before. However, she took a chance on me, That moment was the catalyst for our whirlwind adventure. Her beautiful smile like a ray of sunshine illuminated our future. With our sights set on tomorrow, we're eager to explore new horizons together, hand in hand. We know that the best is yet to come, and we can't wait to write the next chapter in our love story.

Her infectious enthusiasm and generous heart have made her a beloved friend and a constant source of inspiration. Love you Suzy Q

Bender, troublemaker turned devoted dad and unlikely hero. Once a master of mayhem, he traded in his mischief for mentorship, Benders exterior has always been guarded by sarcastic comments and jokes, but once I got to know him I realized his compassionate nature with a passion for making a positive impact. He's still got a little bit of that old swagger, but now he uses it to inspire and motivate, rather than intimidate. With Bender in my corner, I’ve got a loyal ally who'll keep me in check, and keep me laughing, even in the toughest of times. Thanks buddy

Eric Bender

But beyond the humor, Meagan has heart that’s always open and willing to listen. Her wisdom and insight have a way of calming nerves and finding solutions. When she does venture out, her enthusiasm is contagious, and her friendship is a treasure! Ariel and Leslie are grateful for her presence in their lives, and they cherish the quiet moments and adventures alike that they share

Ariel and Andy's friendship is a testament to the power of connection! Sparked in the early days of high school when Andy moved to Boulder City, their bond has withstood the test of time, distance, and adventure. From coast-to-coast moves to college reunions, their friendship only grew stronger. A highlight of their journey was when Ariel stood by Andy's side as maid of honor at his wedding to Chelsea, celebrating their love and strengthening their lifelong friendship. Through life's ups and downs, they've proven that true friendship knows no distance and only grows more precious with time.

Andrew Garner

Sina and Ariel established a friendship in 2007 when Sina arrived in the US as a foreign exchange student from Germany. They discovered a shared interest in travel and adventure, which formed the basis of their connection. Following graduation, Ariel visited Sina in Germany, marking the first of several return trips. Over the years, Ariel has had the pleasure of witnessing significant milestones in Sina's life, including her meeting her partner and the growth of her family. We look forward to future opportunities to reconnect with Sina and her family.

Patrick Hall a lovable asshole with a heart of gold (hidden deep, deep down). His sharp wit and sarcasm can cut through the noise, but beneath the tough exterior lies a kind soul and a true friend. With a quick tongue and a playful jab, Patrick keeps those around him engaged and laughing.  Always knows how to cheer me up and call me out in a manner that makes me want to be a better version of myself. Don't let his gruff demeanor fool you, he's a loyal companion, a trusted confidant, and a master of the perfectly timed eye-roll. He’ll either be the life of the party or get lost on some vision quest but either way we always have a good story to tell. Thanks for the adventures man!
