Our Wedding

Our first date was a picnic at Lake Couer d'Alene in July 2021. From the moment I saw him there was a spark. We ended the date at Denny's, where we had stayed until closing when they asked us to leave. We still talk about the date to this day as we lost track of time. We knew there was something special and from that moment on we were inseparable.

First Date

In July 2023, Walter and I decided to build our home in North Idaho. We went through so many milestone's during this time together as we were both not working and spent 6 months together on something neither of us had done before; build a house from the ground up. Our friends ask us how we did it as most couples wouldn't be able to make it through even an update on their house together. We like to think that it made us grow closer together and it strengthened our relationship.

Our Home

We had been together almost 4 years when he popped the question. Walter and I went to one of our favorite spots, one of the first hikes we went on when we started dating. Walter was nervous and tripping going up the trail. It was not a huge surprise but we loved every second of that special day. He is truly my best friend and I can't wait to marry him.

Our Story

Photos

I met Brandy in college at Eastern Washington University. We decided one day we were going to be best friends and ever since we have been inseparable, so much so she is part of my family.  She truly is an amazing person and friend to both Walter and I.  I am so happy she is here with us and can't wait to get to see her more as she lives in another state.

Brandy

Hayden

Sister of the Bride - I have known Ashley my whole life and while sisters fight, she has always been there for me. Over the last few years we have gotten very close and I can't imagine not having her by my side. She has been someone I can always count on and go to for advice. She has been the true meaning of a big sister and I can't wait to marry my best friend with her up there with us.

Ashley

Tyler

Sister of the Groom- I have known Susannah for the last few years and we just instantly clicked. She is such a kind hearted person and I can't wait to be able to call her a sister.  No matter the situation I know she is there for us and is just a phone call away.  It could be months since we last talked and it feels as though it was yesterday. I so look forward to more bonding time and seeing her more as she lives across the country.

Susannah

Victoria and I bonded almost immediately in college. She has such a big heart and has been a shining light. We do not get to see each other very often since she lives on the other side of the country but we have been there for each other for every big event since and love to catch up as much as possible. I can't wait to get married to my best friend with her by my side.
