Sarah and Cody met at college at APU in the Marine Biology program and worked together at the Mosley's sport center on campus coaching swim lessons. They become great friends and Sarah introduced Nick to Cody through mutual friends. Saying Cody and Nick need to meet both being from Minnesota. Sarah was the person that convinced Cody to go on a 5000 mile motorcycle trip with Nick and that started the adventure of Cody and Nick. Sarah and I have always stayed in touch over the years, Sarah and I growing our careers; I doing fish culture and Sarah working with claims all over the country. We have had our trips together to see each other in Seattle and held on to Chris Stapleton concert tickets for two years to go see him. She is the one that gave me the courage to go on the trip that helped me find the love of my life.

Taylor moved from Richfield and moved to Bloomington living across the street from me. I met Taylor at the school bus stop in the 7th grade. Taylor and I have been friends since! Taylor has been there with me deciding what new outfit to get or she being the one to support me heading to Alaska for college. We would always go to Caribou Coffee and have coffee dates and go to the mall together! I can always jam to Taylor Swift with her! She is the person that has known me the longest and I can’t wait for her to be apart of our big day!

Cynthia (Cae) and I met at a friends party. Her and I just clicked together. We would go out and dance, have movie nights and watch the Minnesota Wild play hockey. it’s always a dance party with us dancing to Train. Don't let her size fool you. She may be pocket size but she is fierce. She has always had my back and I can't imagine her not at my side on my wedding day.

Megan and I met when I was volunteering at the fish hatchery. Over hours of salmon rearing, paint nights Megan and I have become great friends! The wild girls of the hatchery as we would laugh and dance in fish tanks. Megan and I would go out to Eddie’s Sports Bar in Anchorage every Thursday night and go country dancing! Megan is one of my close friends that has always been supportive of Nick and I and can’t wait for her to be by my side on my wedding day.

Nick and Justin trauma bonded while working in Dutch Harbour, Alaska. They instantly clicked and have been close friends since. Justin and Nick will got on Alaskan hunts together and have nightly phone check-ins on the newest gear or cars. Over the years Cody, Nick and Justin will go on caribou and moose hunting trips together.

Tyler and Nick have been friends for a long time. Both were in the tech crew at their local high school together. Getting to know Tyler over the years, it was a no brainer he had to be with us on our day. He has always been there for Nick and it’s a life time friendship for sure.

Nick and Tim have also been friends since their days in tech together. Tim has been there as well for Nick and they will be friends for life. Can’t wait for him to be there for us.

Nick and Donnie met while working for Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Working with each other on fish surveys and fishing on the local streams in Alaska.
