Wedding Day

Our Wedding

It all began in December of 2019, thanks to two very determined matchmakers—bridesmaid Sydney and groomsman Ryan—who were convinced we were meant to be. They set us up on a blind date, certain we’d hit it off. And they were right. Cole, however, wasn’t exactly prepared for a first date. He showed up in what we now lovingly call a “grout-fit”—a full grey outfit that made quite the impression. That moment stuck so well that we now celebrate December 23rd each year as Grout-Fit Day, a funny little tribute to how it all started. From the beginning, something just clicked. Not long after that first date, Cole was already planning the next. A few weeks later, on February 1st, 2020, Cole officially asked Abbie to be his girlfriend—and of course, she said yes.Fast forward to August 2021, a big change was coming. Abbie was moving to Bozeman, Montana for college. Long-distance wasn’t easy, but we both knew it was worth it. And after a year apart, Cole realized he loved more than just Abbie—he had also fallen in love with Bozeman. So, he made the move and joined her there a year later. Over the next few years, our relationship grew even stronger. We talked about the future, including the question. Abbie had just one rule: “I have to be graduated from college—then you're free to pop the question.” And Cole listened. In June 2025, just a month after Abbie’s graduation, Cole planned a camping trip to a beautiful site surrounded by aspen trees. While they were there, they carved their initials into one of the trees—something small and sentimental. Then, Cole got down on one knee and asked Abbie to marry him. Now, after years of laughter, growth, long-distance calls, and unforgettable memories, we’re so excited to finally celebrate this next chapter with all of you. Our wedding day is more than just a day—it’s a celebration of everything that brought us here: the grout-fit, the miles between us, the late-night talks, and all the love in between. We can’t wait to share this special moment with our favorite people and start the rest of our forever together. Let’s celebrate!
