Our Wedding

We were lab partners in high school chemistry, and for the next 20 years our paths nearly crossed countless times. As fate would have it, at our 20 year high school reunion we locked eyes from across the room.&amp; the rest is history!

Colin and I go all the way back to middle school homeroom, but our reckless friendship really blossomed when we hit high school. From our ridiculous prank videos, ditching class to go to magic mountain to camping with my family, there’s not a memory I have without Colin being a part of it.

Aaron and I go way back to middle school, we met when I was a Teacher’s Assistant in a middle school math class. One day, Aaron decided to throw a paper ball at the teacher and when she questioned me, I covered for him. This is a perfect representation of our friendship. From unforgettable Vegas trips, to countless concerts in the pit, we've always had each other’s back.

My brother gets me in ways no one else can. We’ve been through a lot as a family, and I’m so incredibly blessed to have such an open and loving relationship with my brother. We share a love for video games, Star Wars, “Diet Millers” and talking like we are country. I’ve loved watching my brother grow into an incredible chef, father, and friend.

I met Bette in 7th grade computer class. Wow! 29 years of friendship! We grew up together & she’s like a sister to me. We’ve gone through it all & she’s the type of friend who is always there through thick & thin. I’m glad to have her as my right hand lady! 

Bette 

I met Sabah through a mutual friend around 2008, back in our hipster days ;) We’ve had lots of fun times & have been through a lot together over the years. She’s one of the most caring people I know & I’m so lucky to have her in my life. Always there when you need her & always up for an adventure!

Sabah 

Dawn & I have been friends since our junior year in High School. We’ve been through a lot together over our, somewhat mischievous, teen years ;) She’s one of the most loyal & caring people I know. I’m so proud of the women we’ve become & I’m happy to have her by my side!
