Our Wedding

Austin and I first met my sophomore year and his junior year of high school. My first impression of Aust was... well, we didn’t get along too well. We’re both brutally honest and extremely stubborn. Those two years of high school you never knew what Austin and Nelli you were getting. Would it be the besties making jokes or would it be the frenemies that couldn’t stand each other and wouldn’t stop arguing? We didn’t even know ourselves (lol). Fast forward to the summer before my senior year of high school. Austin was persistent and would ask me to hang out with him every single day until I finally caved and said yes. Our first date was July 12, 2017. If you couldn’t already tell, weve been inseparable ever since. Shortly after, I had a softball tournament in California and coincidentally Austin was staying with his friends near Huntington Beach. Lucky for me, Lauren was staying with me and she got to come along on a two hour drive so that I could say hi to Austin for 20 minutes before we had to go back to our hotel room. (Did my dad want to kill me and think I was a boy crazy teenager? Yes. Did he rent a car for himself so that I could drive his to see Austin? Also, yes.) I remember texting Austin during that trip and telling him how much I loved him. A few short days later on August 8, 2017 he asked me to be his girlfriend. December 27, 2017 he messaged me “I cant wait to marry [you] baby girl”. We have spent almost every single day since then together. The proposal happened on September 2, 2023 in Sedona, Arizona. When he proposed to me I was flooded with so much joy. The idea of spending forever with Austin has been a dream of mine since 2017. We are so lucky to have already spent so much of our lives together and can’t wait for what’s to come. We’re both so grateful to you, our community, for your love and support. We can’t wait to celebrate the wedding with you soon!

From the Beginning 

Our Story

Photos

Jordan, my best friend since freshman year of high school. The one who has shaved my legs, curled my hair (probably more times than she'd like), has a matching tattoo, knows all my secrets, cried with me during my lows and always laughing with me during our best times. I love you sister. Couldn't do this day without you by my side.

Cameron is my closest friend and I would consider him part of my family. A good weekend for me usually involves Cameron in one way or another. Whether it’s hitting the slopes, playing golf, or just grabbing a beer, Cameron is usually there. Outside of Nelli, there is no one I talk to more than Cameron. There is no one I would rather have as my best man. 

Cameron Snyder

Erin Marie, my beautiful, talented, brilliant best friend. The one we trust with our kitties. So lucky to have had you as a best friend all of these years, to live a 1-minute walk away from each other, and to have such a good role model to look up to. I could not imagine this day without you. I love you, E! 

Erin McLoughlin

Most of my life’s memories involve Jackson in some way or another. We grew up extremely close always doing everything together. Although we have had some pretty intense arguments as kids and even butts heads as adults, I love Jackson more than he will ever realize. From racing dirtbikes as kids, to winning the coach Bob tournament in high school Jackson has always been there. 

Jackson Gates

Lauren, my longest friend since moving to Arizona. From HDLL, BC, Kaos, and many more teams to now. You're so witty and such an incredible person to be around. I love you lightning and so lucky to have you by my side. 

Lauren Calabrese

Harrison is always there when I need him. I know I can ask Harrison for just about anything and he will come through for me. Many of the funniest childhood memories I have involve Harrison doing something hilarious. I am so proud of the young man Harrison has become and I cant wait to celebrate at the wedding with him.

Camelia, the one who made me a big sister for the first time. Seeing as she’s my sister, I’ve known her my whole life and couldn’t imagine having anyone else standing by my side on my wedding day.

Camelia Coira

Carson and I have always been very close since he was very young. We love to compete with each other in just about anything and we both hate losing with a passion. A good portion of my summer is usually spent playing golf with Carson. Whether we are wagering on golf or playing poker, Carson has a knack for taking my money. The wedding wouldn’t be complete without Carson and I cant wait to celebrate with him. 

Carson Gates

Mia, my twinkie girl, personal encyclopedia and Lana lover. Thank you for talking to me on the phone for HOURS at a time, sharing all your Lana and Taylor knowledge and your funny jokes. Love you mialicious! 

Marissa Mia

Garrett and I became friends our junior year of high school after he moved to Arizona from Idaho. He didn’t know anyone and I was one of his first friends in AZ. We spent many days together at Snowbowl and have many great memories together. He is one of my closest friends and it wouldn’t be right without him being one of my groomsmen. 

Garret Karl

Adri, my soul sister, twin flame, real life baby doll and mini me. Before you were even born I already had your name picked out (you're welcome). You mean the world to me baby sister and I absolutely could not live or do this day without you. I love you! 

Adriana Coira

Tmack and I have been friends since we were in 5th grade. Many of my early childhood and high school memories were spent with Tyler by my side. Whether it was playing zombies in his room after grade school or getting into a little bit of trouble in high school, he was always there. He is someone I can confidently say will be my friend for life and I'm glad to have him as my groomsman. 

Tyler Mackey

Stella, my clone, youngest baby sister and bff. Even if you don't like to admit it, you are my little twin. I love you sweet baby sister and could not go without your opinions and love on this special day. 

Maristella Coira

I have also known Tanner since 5th grade and he is the type of friend I can always count on. He lives in Texas so I don’t get to see him as much as I would like. Yet when we see each other it’s like we never missed a beat. Whether he knows it or not, Tanner has taught me some very valuable lessons about life and I will always be grateful for that.
