Soren & Carlee’s Wedding

Fall

Our Wedding

Our story began at Fresno Christian High School at the beginning of our Senior year. We were both nominated to be in the homecoming court which lead for us to become really good friends. That fall I invited Soren to a Fresno state football game and I remember thinking I had never laughed so hard with someone before. After that night, our friendship began to grow stronger. We practically did everything together, had most of our classes together, went out to lunch everyday and started hanging out outside of school together. He became my best friend that I had always prayed for. Over the next few months, we began talking more and more. We toured GCU together and found ourselves talking about what life might be like for “us” in Phoenix, though we were still just friends. In November, Soren asked me out on our first date to the pumpkin patch and on November 12th he asked my dad for his permission to date me. That same night Soren asked me to be his girlfriend and that next day we attended our senior formal together. As we graduated high school together, our next step in our relationship was heading to Arizona and attending college together. We had such a fun time in college but knew we wanted to take the next step of our relationship and start saving to get married. We moved back home after a year of being away at college together to start thinking about marriage and being together forever. I went to beauty school to get my esthetician license and Soren continued his education through online school so he could pursue sales and get into his career. Last July, in Hawaii, surrounded by 17 friends and family members (who managed to keep the secret from me!) Soren proposed in the most beautiful way, my absolute dream come true. Once we got home, we began planning our dream wedding. As we continued to save money for our future, Soren and I bought our first house together!! This has been such a big year for us and we couldn’t have done it without our relationship with God and our parents support. We believe God brought us together and we feel incredibly blessed by how our story has unfolded. As we prepare to begin this new chapter together, we're filled with gratitude from the love and support of our family and friends who have cheered us on every step of the way. We can't wait to celebrate with all of you as we join our lives together. With love, Soren & Carlee
