Our Wedding

Our Love Story

Skylar and I met in high school, and what started as a close friendship quickly turned into something we just couldn’t imagine living without.  Together we’ve built a home we love and are proud of. We bought a house in 2022, have two sweet dogs named Lucy and Peach, and even a flock of chickens and ducks that keep life interesting. Our little homestead is full of love (and a bit of chaos). We can’t wait to keep growing and building our life together in this next chapter.  Through every phase of life, we’ve loved each other unconditionally. Eight years later, we get to start the biggest adventure yet: a lifetime together.  We are so excited to celebrate with you all.

Our Story

This is my cousin Lauren — but to call her just my cousin doesn’t quite cover it. She’s my best friend, my partner-in-crime, and truly my other half in life. We’ve been inseparable forever, I honestly don’t know who I’d be without her constant love and support.  There is truly never a dull (or quiet) moment when we are together. Lauren isn’t just family; she is so much more. I feel so thankful to have her standing by my side today and always.

Ashley and I met in February of 2024, and it instantly felt like we had known each other forever. We became best friends the day we met. One of our favorite traditions is cooking dinner together!  Every meal we make is amazing, not just because of the food, but because it’s always filled with love, and a little (A LOT) of taste-testing along the way. Ashley is endlessly supportive and I appreciate her more than words can say. I feel so lucky to have her in my life and even luckier to celebrate this day with her by my side.

Cheyenne and I met WAY back in 2006. She has been my best friend since Kindergarten, that makes her my longest friend and I truly could not imagine my life without her. We've shared countless memories and supported each other through every stage of life.  Now, our friendship has come full circle & even our dogs are best friends! Fun fact: Cheyenne introduced Skylar and I in high school! I’m so excited to have her standing beside us for this special moment and can’t wait to create yet another memory together.

Saphire and I have been friends since 4th grade, and she’s been such an important part of my life ever since. We share the same birthday, we got our first apartment together, we have had countless movie nights, and we even traveled all the way to New York! No matter where we are or what we are doing we always have fun and enjoy each other's company! She’s been with me through every high, low, and chaotic moment in between & I am SO thankful to call her my  best friend.
