Our Wedding

Casey and Nathan were introduced by a mutual friend outside Tacos-to-Go at Cal Poly SLO in 2013. They socialized at school, going to Baja Parties, making In-n-Out runs, playing True American, and hanging out at home with friends.After Casey graduated in 2013, she spent 6 lonely months in San Jose. In June of 2018 many of her friends moved to the Bay Area, Nathan included. Being the hostess that she is, Casey invited everyone she knew to hangouts and Nathan became a huge part of her life. Slowly group hangouts turned into duo adventures that Casey still claims were not dates.In July 2019, Nathan embodied the adventurous spirit that would become the theme of their relationship and agreed to go to Warped Tour with Casey when no one else would go with her. He worked up the courage to kiss her after the Sum 41 set and they didn’t talk about it again for several months. After many more “not-dates”, some family strife, and the holiday season, Nathan sat Casey down and told her to be brave and give it a chance to be a real relationship.That was in December 2019 and they have never looked back. Treating every day as an adventure keeps life exciting for the pair, and together they have grown into the best versions of themselves. The happy couple loves to travel and have been to 10 states and 2 countries, camped, off-roaded, hiked and more together. They value quality time at home, cooking, playing games and watching movies.Casey and Nathan are beyond excited to finally welcome you to witness their love, and finish the night as Mr. And Mrs.

Their Story

Our Story

Casey and I met in first grade through a church education program called CCD and it turned out that we were neighbors! We became close friends and then best friends, growing up side by side through all of life’s ups and downs. We survived endless study sessions powered by parmesan-doused microwave popcorn and Cheddar Rold Gold pretzels. We played softball together, danced the night away with DDR then Just Dance, and spent summers taking turns enjoying both my perfectly warmed pool and her freezing cold one.
I remember when I started hearing about Nathan. I could tell how fond Casey was of him by the way her voice lit up over the phone.  Now, seeing them together, I’m so happy to know that Nathan truly appreciates Casey for the beautiful, intelligent, kind, adventurous, and thoughtful woman she is.
I am beyond honored to stand by Casey’s side as Maid of Honor. 

Aidan Juttner

I first met Nathan—aka Nate, aka my brother aka Naynaythanquiqui—in the machine shops on campus back when we were both technicians. I noticed his Jurassic Park hat, we had a few drinks, and somehow that sparked a friendship that’s been getting me into trouble ever since. I officially met Casey after they started dating, but funny enough, it turns out our paths had already crossed at Cal Poly through mutual circles. She's a beautiful musician with a wonderful soul and it's been a pleasure to get to know her and see their relationship grow to what it is today. My partner Sara (also a Cal Poly alum and former technician) and I couldn’t be more excited and honored to celebrate Nathan and Casey on this special day!

Judy Lantaca

I cannot wait to support Casey and Nathan on their big day! Picture this: the year - 1997. The location - Sunshine Academy in Santa Clarita. In true kid fashion, Casey approached me during recess proclaiming “we’re best friends now” and she was absolutely right. From sleepovers planning our future weddings to Dance Dance Revolution marathons, Halloween trick or treating to matching first day of school outfits, we have experienced so many phases of life together and I can’t wait to celebrate this joyous upcoming one with both her and Nathan!

Annie Blazer

I first met Casey back in 7th grade, but it wasn’t until high school that our friendship really began to grow. Since then, we've shared so many memories—including Arrowhead trips, a memorable college visit in SLO, our beloved annual girls’ trips with Erin, and having her by my side on my wedding day. I am beyond honored to now stand by her side as she marries the love of her life, and I can’t wait to celebrate this beautiful next chapter with her!

Tiffany Dulac

I am Casey's younger cousin. I have been dreaming of this wedding since their first date! All three of us went to the science museum in San Jose, which is when I first met Nathan. It was really funny because they thought they were so slick even though their flirting was so obvious LOL. Casey has been someone I have looked up to and continues to be an inspiration for me. Nathan is an honest and kind person, and it feels so special to see them together. I am so excited to be part of their wedding and celebrate their love! I am overjoyed for Casey and Nathan! 

Cianna Garibaldi

I’m delighted to share in the celebration of Casey and Nathan's special day. 
I met Casey and Nathan through my partner, Scott, who was on the Baja team with Nathan. From our first encounter, I was struck by Casey's quick wit, kindness, and down-to-earth spirit. 
It has been a joy to watch Casey and Nathan grow together as a couple; they truly complement each other in the best ways. Life in general, and certainly off-roading, are much more fun with them around! 

Suzy Gibson

I'm Casey's cousin. Since we're both only children, I was lucky to have Casey as my pseudo big sister growing up. This sisterhood came with awesome perks like hand-me-downs, sleep overs on the trampoline, and dive in movies. I had the joy of being able to watch Casey thrive in sports, school, music, and her career. I'm so excited to now watch her thrive in marriage with her soulmate. Casey and Nathan complement each other perfectly and put in the intentional work that goes into loving someone well. So let's all get ready to celebrate their beginning of the rest of forever! 

Tori Lopez

I met Casey through work in 2018. She approached me after a few weeks and asked if I wanted to eat lunch with her, and I'm so glad she did because it made work and my life so much better. She later told me that she was scared to approach all 5 feet of me. 
Since then, we've gone on a few road trips from the Bay Area to SLO/Pismo and Santa Clarita/Thousand Oaks and I've gotten to witness how much Casey loves and cares for her family and friends. Although we've only known each other a few years, I'm blessed to know Casey and be able to share in her special day.

Rebecca Mantecon

I first met Casey back in 5th grade at Highlands Elementary, and I feel so lucky that our friendship has only grown stronger over the years. From countless Arrowhead trips and late-night shenanigans at the Madsen house to fun couples game nights, we've made so many unforgettable memories together. I'm beyond excited and honored to stand by Casey’s side as she and Nathan begin this beautiful new chapter together! Cheers! 

Erin Yamanaka- Ramer

I first met Nathan back at Cal Poly, where we bonded over building Baja cars. Since then, our friendship has been fueled by a shared love for adventure, working on Jeeps, and exploring the great outdoors. From camping trips to dirt biking excursions, and even hitting up King of the Hammers, we’ve spent countless hours wrenching on Jeeps and chasing thrills together. It’s been an incredible ride, and I couldn’t be more excited to stand by Nathan as he embarks on this next adventure in life with Casey.

Scott Frey

I am Nathan's little brother, I have known Nathan pretty much my whole life. He is often fun to play and hang out with. He loved my funny pictures and other creative antics. He helped me become a better person, even when I wasn't all fun and games. I was thrilled when I first heard Nathan and Casey were dating. When I first met Casey, I knew she was the perfect match for him.  Being one of his Groomsmen at his wedding will be a huge honor. May Nathan and Casey's new life be wonderful!

Matthew Harry

I first met Nathan in college at the Baja SAE competition, but our time overlapping was short. A few years later he showed up with a Jeep, and of course his first trip ended with a tow truck ride home. Since then, we’ve had countless trail adventures that usually involve fixing (even abandoning) Nathan’s Jeep, dodging Smirnoff ices, campfire chili, and dad jokes. Through it all, Nathan has always been the kind of friend who shows up, and I know he’s found the perfect partner in crime in Casey. Their energy and their love of Halloween are unmatched, and I miss living just down the street from them.


Ian Milliken

I met Nathan on the Cal Poly Baja racing team, where we learned that duct tape and zip ties can fix almost anything. After college, I convinced him to buy a Jeep… arguably my best and worst idea because now most of our adventures end with us stuck somewhere in the dirt. Honored to be his groomsman, mostly because it means I don’t have to help fix his Jeep that day.


Matt Myers

I met Casey freshman year in the Cal Poly North Mountain dorms. We were close friends throughout college and moved to the Bay Area after school to pursue our professional careers. We lived together for three years in the Bay and hosted many barbecues, went to concerts, and enjoyed exploring the food scene of San Jose together.
I knew Nathan through the Cal Poly shops, but only started to connect with him when he and Casey started hanging out. I had a front row seat to watch their friendship blossom into romance. I am eager to watch them continue to build their lives together.


Kirby Ransberger

I think I have known Casey for 3 days less than I’ve known my fiancé, Aidan. I always felt comfortable meeting Aidan’s friends and family but for some reason meeting Casey was different. She’s the only person Aidan explicitly said I need to impress or we wouldn’t work out. And I get it, over the years I’ve realized Casey is the kind of friend you listen to, the caring kind who would never watch you fail silently and will always have your back. So when there was talk about this Nathan fella I had this weird urge to vet him, you know…make sure he was good enough. Well years later, after dirt bikes rides, countless parties, and a sharing a 23 sqft room in the Bahamas for a week, I’ve realized Nathan is one of the most well rounded, funny and solid dudes I know. I love you Guys and I’m stoked to be part of your special day!

Troy Todd

I first met Nathan at work, where we quickly bonded over problem-solving and a shared drive to get things done right. But our friendship really took off on the trails—off-roading at Hollister, crawling the Fordyce Trail, and diving into the chaos of King of the Hammers. Those weren’t just trips—they were about grit, laughter, and a whole lot of Jeep talk.
Through it all, I’ve watched Nathan and Casey grow together, even as life pulled them in different directions. It’s been inspiring to see their connection stay strong.
I’m honored to stand by Nathan today as he starts this next big adventure with Casey. Here’s to love, teamwork, and many more trails ahead

Drew Uhrhammer

I met Nathan and Casey at Cal Poly, happily joining the Baja and ME shop orbit alongside so so many of the rest of the fine people on this page. I was lucky enough to live with Nathan for most of that time in that fabulously terrible house on Del Norte, expanding his culinary palette, going on countless spur of the moment adventures, and finding a willing partner in many of my harebrained schemes. Since then we've kept in touch and visited back and forth (including a wet and muddy wheeling trip that earned me a poison oak rash so bad I grew a beard). I am honored to have been a part of The Ring Secret Mission and I can't wait to (finally) marry these two.

Wedding Party

Where did the ring come from? How did he pick the stone shape? Why pear? Why did Nathan take 2 years to propose? Why is the ring box so heavy? Why am I reading this page? These may be some of the questions on your mind when you clicked on this webpage and I hope to answer them in the following story:

This has been quite a journey and thank you for reading all the way to the end. We are immensely excited to share our big day with you on 9/18/26. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes!

P.S. I could not have done this without the immense support from Mr. Toby Shirts. His enthusiasm for manufacturing and willingness to brave a completely unknown world of precision ring design made this project possible. You can see him standing in the center of aisle on the big day as our officiant.

P.P.S. This has been an amazing project and definitely the single thing that I've ever made that I'm the most proud of. That being said, NO I am not willing to make a ring for you or a loved one. This was a one-off thing and if you want to make your own ring, I suggest you take that journey without me.

He put a RING on it!

We're so excited to have everyone we love together!
