Our Wedding

Brandon and Rylee met at Kimball Lake in 2010 by our mutual friend Connor McEwen. Since then, Brandon had been determined to become more than friends and had asked Rylee out on Facebook at the age of twelve, where they had dated for six months. After becoming friends, they continued to play hockey together on and off throughout high school. At the age of eighteen, their friendship became a relationship once again. They were long distances for around two and a half years as Rylee was going to nursing school in Prince Albert. In the summers, they were reunited in the Yukon, working at the Clayton mine, and in November 2020, they moved in together. In 2021, they took in two cats, Bronx and Crue. Throughout the years, they moved into Lloyd and have been working around Lloyd and Dawson City.&nbsp;

How we met

Brandon proposed at the company gold mine in California Creek, Yukon. At the end of each season, Brandon and Rylee took a picture with their camp behind them. On August 24, 2024, Brandon popped the question while they were taking their annual picture.

Our proposal:  August 24, 2024

Megan and Rylee officially met through work, but grew up in small towns near each other. Megs and Rylee have plans for future travels, but in the meantime, they love lunch dates, sangria nights, and Rylee's persuasiveness for pushing Megs out of her comfort zone (aka Skiing!!).

Brady is my little brother, whom I always bugged and teased as a child. Once, I shoved a tic tac up his nose, and it got stuck, making him cry! We would fight as siblings, punching and kicking each other. As we grew older, the hate we thought we had for one another grew into a close bond we call love today. Brady and I spend every hour and minute together working. We found a common passion for what we do together which no one can ever take that from us. Brady is no longer just my little brother; he's my best friend, who I am honoured to have as my best man.&nbsp;

Brady Clayton- Best Man 

Dawson and I became friends on the bus rides to school as kids. Our friendship started as playing Gameboys and listening to our iPods on the bus. It quickly escalated into our shared interest in motocross, where we would ride to each other's house every other night as neighbours. We spent many weekends roaming Alcurve on ATVS and continue to play hockey together to this day.

Will and I have been friends since elementary. To describe Will, they would be a class clown or jokester. The things Will would do in our younger years would provide laughter for eternity. Growing up, Will was never afraid to tell others what he thought of them. One night, Will, Dawson and I were caught up in a scrap in Vermillion. I was being tossed around outside, and Will came to the rescue shouting, "Hey, that's my friend!" From that moment on, I knew Will always had my back.

Zane is another childhood friend of mine. Zane and I had a shared interest in picking each others ass. When we would party together, and liquor was involved, It would usually end up in us wrestling, where our friends would bet who would win. But yes, it was never me, as Zane is twice my size. Zane is one of my best friends for that reason. He is the enforcer of the friend group throughout his hockey career. Even though Zane currently spends half his year on another continent, we still communicate often to check-in.&nbsp;

I first met Seth while playing bantam hockey in Hillmond, and we were inseparable. We did everything together, from playing hockey to picking rocks. Seth and I spent multiple years in the Yukon together, often sharing the same bed; that being said, we grew close pretty quickly! Seth may only live a few miles from me, but we still talk on the phone like females, twice, if not more, daily.&nbsp;

Seth Ritz- Groomsmen 

Connor and I quickly grew in friendship over our shared interest in harvest. We would spend late nights in the combine, bumping tunes and telling stories. Those nights usually ended with some beers in a hot tub. Connor was a mutual friend of Rylee and me, and they introduced me at Kimball Lake to the lady I am lucky enough to call my bride. Every moment I spent with Connor was never a dull one. He can lighten up a room over anything coming from his mouth.&nbsp;

Connor Mcewen-Groomsmen 

Ryder and I also met while playing hockey in Hillmond. Ryder was a good goal scorer and a sharpshooter with gofers. Ryder introduced me to the fun sport of shooting gofers. He taught me how to shoot, and we continue to do so today. He would also go out of his way to help me with any favour, nothing was ever too much! Even though our friendship couldn't be bought. Ryder is the type of guy who always buys supper and takes me to hockey games. He always tells me, "he's got it,".... maybe because I never remember cash!
