Our Wedding

The Beginning 

Kameryn and Brent met back in March 2020, when the beginning of COVID-19 hit. They were both locked up in their houses, not allowed to leave until the pandemic was safe enough. Kameryn was finishing her Senior year of High School in Fullerton, and Brent was in his first year of College at Long Beach Community College. They both were extremely bored in their bedrooms and tired of not being able to leave the house. They decided to download Bumble, just to find someone else to talk to that they didn't know. Well, that's when it all started and they matched on March 25th, 2020! They began talking about all the cheesy stuff you talk about when you first meet a person. Brent tried winning Kameryn over with how he wants to become a firefighter, loves country music, loves fishing, rides dirt bikes, and he had a golden retriever named Daisy! Kameryn instantly fell for him and they would not just text now, but they would Facetime each other constantly. Every night they would talk for hours and watch movies over the phone until one of them fell asleep. They finally decided that it was time to meet and now Kameryn had a chance to win him over with her obsession with baking. Brent and his brother Austin just so happened to be in the area buying a new RC car and stopped by so they could pick up some cookies. Kameryn was extremely nervous when he got there, but her dog Carly ran past her out the front door and took off running down the street. Kameryn chased her all around their car and finally was able to catch her to give him the cookies! It was extremely embarrassing but they quickly said "hi" and they went on their way. Fast forward to May when they decided that now that it was probably safe enough to go outside and meet each other and go on a date. Their first date was in May and it was a double date with his best friend Zach, his girlfriend, and Zach's little brother. They went down to the beach to go snorkeling and jump off some rocks Kameryn knew about! They went on several dates after that and began dating on June 3rd.

Our Engagement Story

Fast forwarding 3 years, these two now own a trailer, Brent and Kameryn got new dirt bikes, and they are engaged! This is how the engagement went down... For their 3rd anniversary, they wanted to do something really special that they hadn't done before. They wanted to go on a road trip to visit some National Parks and cool landmarks. They set out for an 8-day trip with their trailer that would take them to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Horseshoe Bend, and Lake Powell. They spent 5 of those days in Zion seeing some amazing views, eating delicious food at the campsite, and playing card games together. On June 5th for Brent's birthday, they went out to this one spot Kameryn had been talking about called Canyon Overlook Trail. Kameryn had no clue that was going to be where Brent got down on one knee to propose. They wandered off the trail to find this beautiful lookout. Brent set up the camera to record the whole thing. They stood there for some normal pictures and a couple giving each other a kiss. Brent and Kameryn had joked about who loved each other more and Brent was finally going to "prove" that he loved her more. This was the moment Brent got down on one knee and asked Kameryn to marry him. Instead of saying "yes!" Kameryn yelled, "OF COURSE!" She was in complete shock that it was actually happening! They shared their moment with another couple who walked up on them taking photos and a random hippie who was on the hike, barefoot! They both rushed back down to the mountain to tell everyone the amazing news over the phone. They spent the rest of the day talking about how it all happened and being giddy that they were engaged! They finished their trip after the rest of the stops they had planned, to come home to a small surprise engagement party with both of their families there to celebrate!

Q + A

There are a couple of Airbnb's in the area, but they might be already booked. We recommend staying at one of the hotels in the nearby area, which we have listed below. We recommend most guests try to stay at the La Quinta. But don't wait until the last minute because they will sell out fast! Think of this area as a triangle. Our venue is at the tip, there are two directions to leave. One to Yucaipa which leads to the La Quinta and the other to Banning which leads to the Hampton and Holiday Inn. They both will take about 20 min to get to the venue, so it's up to you to pick which fits best.
