Our Wedding

We met online just as the Covid pandemic was beginning. This meant that our first dates consisted of car picnics and many movie nights.

We were long distance for 2 *very* long years. Jake made the 4 hour drive to St. George as often as possible, even just to visit for a day or two.

Long distance…

Jake moved all the way down to St. George and we got our first apartment together!

Together again! (2022)

We adopted our first kitty together, Fig!

Our Story

Truly Carly’s oldest and best friend, Brooklyn has been there through middle school awkwardness, to high school insanity, and even through 4 years of college. There’s nobody else in the world who knows the bride like her, and we couldn’t do this without her by our sides.

Brooklyn

The Glinda to her Dorothy. After meeting through classes in college, Kate and Carly quickly became best friends. Kate was there through the rise (and inevitable fall) of their joint running career, and many summer days spent by the pool brainstorming how to survive being a first year teacher. We are overjoyed to share this day with Kate!! 

Kate

After meeting in the education program, Carly quickly realized that if she wanted any adventure in her life, she needed to befriend Jenny ASAP! Always down for a spontaneous adventure or to try something new, Jenny has been a steadfast friend through it all. We are so grateful for her positive attitude and quick wit and cannot wait to share the day with her!!

Jenny

Jake’s twin sister and good friend of Carly, we are so excited to spend this day with Erin! Carly is so excited to join their families and gain a new sister!

Erin

Jonah has been one of Jake’s best friends since the earliest years of elementary school. He, along with JZ and Jake make up the tripod, a dedicated three person friend group that hold each other up. They helped each other grow up and have made it through thick and thin. We are honored to have Jonah take on such an important role on our special day. 🧡

JZ has been one of Jake’s closest friends since early on in elementary school. He, along with Jonah and Jake make up the tripod, a dedicated three person friend group that hold each other up. He has always been a stalwart companion, keeping the friends together and strong. We are honored to have JZ take on such an important role on our special day. 🧡

Cole, with his charm, humor and abundant compassion was a quick friend to make for Jake and Carly down in Saint George. We are so thankful for his friendship and we are honored to have Cole as a Groomsman! 

Cole 

Canen has been a rock solid friend for both Jake and Carly in Saint George for a while now. From the start he has been a reliable and accepting friend. His laid back demeanor and love for games of all kinds matches perfectly with Jake’s love for games and competitive nature. We are so happy to have Canen with us on our special day!
