Our Wedding

Through supercross and music taste, we became friends via social media, though we had met briefly in person in 2020. Shortly, we realized we were identical versions of each other in opposite gendered bodies. We talked all the time, but it was nothing. Until all of a sudden, it was something. We dated long distance for 2.5 years from over 1000 miles away. We never thought this would be our life. Distance doesn't work, right? Well, if you want it to, it does. Now look at us. Engaged, soon to be married and house mates. I can't wait to see all the other "I swear I'll never do's" come to life❤️ I moved from Colorado to Southern California in early May of '24. It has been a whirlwind to say the least, but seeing each other everyday has been such a blessing.

Our Story

Photos

Amber and I have been best friends for almost 9 years. We worked together at a bowling alley in our early twenties and started to bond over both our 21st birthdays being in the same month (May babies). We have been on so many vacations together and have had some pretty funny near death experiences. I cant wait to hear the secrets she will spill come wedding day.&nbsp; Forever will be my drinking buddy.

Madi and I met years ago at country jam and never looked back. This girl is one of the hardest workers youll ever meet and has such a big heart. She would give the shirt off her back to literally anyone. She has taught me how to face adversity and to be happy in shitty situations.&nbsp; She has since become a fantastic mother of two while working full time as a nurse.

Shannon was my work twin for quite a few years. This girl is so much fun. She has built the sweetest family with her four boys and lives in Texas. My country music loving "sister." Just keep us away from Jack Fire and Peppermint Schnapps.

Amanda is my closest cousin. We grew up together climbing trees, making up games to play, wearing matching outfits, jumping off roofs, etc. We even have matching tattoos (my very first tattoo). There is never a quiet moment when we are together. We are either crying laughing or screaming music at the top of our lungs in the car.

Mariska is my soon to be sister-in-law. She is a spitfire. She will definitely keep us young. She is a badass soccer player and wake surfer, and a rock-star with her horse. It's been so fun watching her grow up the last few years and I can't wait to see all she will accomplish.

Erin has been one of my bestfriends for close to a decade. Her and I have been through so much together. She is also one of the most genuine people you were ever meet. She has given me one of my favorite little guys, her son Parker. She would drop anything to help anyone out. One of my favorite hiking and concert buddies!

Alissa and I met my first semester of college. We had English together, and man was that an experience. We bonded over 99 watermelon vodka (thinking about that now makes me want to puke). She currently resides in Ohio, so I don't get to see her often but she has always been there. She gives the best advice and won't sugar coat things to spare your feelings. She is dedicated and will do anything she sets her mind to.

Andras is my brother from the same mother! He is incredibly gifted with his athleticism and he will to never give up. Him and I have done everything under the sun together from playing high level youth soccer to racing under the stadium lights of Angel stadium. Andras is the type of younger brother EVERY older brother wishes for and I'm glad I can call him my best bud forever!

Lane and I first got real close with each other when one of us decided to be the landing of a big tabletop out in the desert (spoiler, he was the landing). Him and I have been very close for too many years to count and we can consistently find a way to make each other laugh on the daily. He's an incredibly hard worker in anything he does and will forever challenge my work ethic in anything I do! 

Lane Reiter

Jett and I first met at Mammoth Motocross in 2017 as we parked next to each other. Turned out that we would be racing each other as well! Jett has been an absolute massive help in my racing period and I wouldn't be anywhere without his guidance, motor knowledge, and also his drive to literally be the fastest person on the track. He's a truly incredible friend and glad to have him in my life!

Jett Lewis

Chadi, where do I even start! Chadi and I have known each other for 20+ years and know almost everything about each other. From spending countless nights at his house in the pool, to modifying our vehicles, to playing 90% of our youth soccer together, we've been through it all! He's incredibly driven to make sure he's the best version in himself and I will always applaud him for that!

Chadi Najjar

Blake and I have seen all aspects of each other's lives. From playing youth soccer together, to now being grown adults with dogs and huge aspirations for the future, we have been through all the ups and downs! I don't think I know of anyone our age who has this man's work ethic or drive to make sure every little detail is perfect. Very happy to call him my friend!

Blake Pickard

Max is the life of the party! Everyone loves Max and I especially am grateful to have Max in my life as he is a jack of all trades. He's on a different level when it comes to wrenching on basically anything and he's also the most fun person to be around. The countless memories of us having a blast whether it be in the desert, at the river, or just messing around town, I really am glad to have Max as one of closest friends!

Max Fishenfeld

Parker and I have been friends for quite a long time now and he's an incredible person to be around. He has a great head on his shoulders and is someone I can rely on to be there if need be. He is a genuine person and doesn't hold back anything as he exactly who he portrays himself as. Parker is funny and will always leave me with a smile on my face (typically in response to Lane).
