Our Wedding

The Story

Carson and Royce's friendship&nbsp;began in a&nbsp;high school PE&nbsp;class&nbsp;where&nbsp;she was&nbsp;put on a volleyball team with the&nbsp; notoriously competitive&nbsp;Markley brothers&nbsp;(thanks Mr. Crocker). Carson and her friends would intentionally mess up to frustrate them. Royce is still mad&nbsp;about it to this day.&nbsp;

One day after class, Royce was shooting hoops waiting for the bell to ring. He&nbsp;turned to Carson and&nbsp;asked, "If I can make this shot, will you go on a date with me?" Carson reluctantly agreed, and a week later they went on their first date.&nbsp;



After high school, Carson attended&nbsp;University of Oregon, where Royce would eventually follow. They spent their time at U of O, going to Duck football games, dancing at Taylor's, hanging out with friends,&nbsp;&nbsp;riding party buses, eating way too much Ully's... and,&nbsp;oh yeah, &nbsp;getting degrees.&nbsp;



After they both graduated from U of O, they moved to Portland where Royce attends graduate school and Carson works as an educational assistant in a Functional Living Skills classroom. Over the years,&nbsp;Carson and Royce's fun loving relationship has evolved into a genuine lifelong bond. Carson, Royce, and their dog Lady Stark are happily living in Portland where they continue to pursue their goals and take on life as a team.

"If I can make this shot, will you go on a date with me?"

Our Story

Covid 19

The health and safety of our friends, families, and essential workers are our highest priority. Originally we were planning to gather all of our family and freinds to celegrate this joyous time with us. However, large gatherings are not an option, so we have chosen to have a small and intimate wedding with those closest to us. We will be practicing social distancing and supplying masks for your safety. We are thankful to have such great support during these challenging times.

With love, health and happiness,&nbsp;

Carson & Royce

Snowshoe at Swampy Lakes! One of the best ways to explore our region is on a pair of snowshoes. There are countless places to go snowshoeing near Sunriver, but one of our favorites is the Porcupine Snowshoe Loop at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/deschutes/recarea/?recid=38498">Swampy Lakes</a>. The loop is approximately 4 miles and winds through frozen forests and snow-blanketed fields. There are also wood-fired warming shelters that you can stop into along the way.
