Our Wedding

Photos

Wade and I met while he was pursuing his master's degree at the Air Force Institute of Technology and I was attending Miami University (the one in Ohio, not Florida). Our first date was at the Germantown Creamery in a picturesque town between Dayton and Oxford (not England). Since we lived an hour apart, we often met halfway for lake hikes and Chik-Fil-A picnics during our early dates.

Six months later, Wade graduated and relocated to Mississippi for pilot training. Over the next year and a half, we navigated a long-distance relationship, with Hannah flying out to visit whenever she could.

On December 23rd, 2024, Wade proposed at the Broadmoor in Colorado. It was the happiest day of our lives (so far)!

Next year, we'll be heading to Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan, where Wade will be flying the KC-135 for the next 3 to 4 years. We can't wait to see what this new chapter has in store for us!

Our Story

Meet Emily, Hannah’s Matron of Honor and her incredible sister. Emily tied the knot last year, and Hannah had the privilege of standing by her side as her Maid of Honor—officially welcoming Josh into the family, along with their wiener dog, Winnie (who, let’s be honest, may be everyone’s favorite). From childhood memories of “borrowing” each other’s clothes and writing on one another with permanent marker, to becoming each other’s biggest support through adulthood, Emily and Hannah have been through it all. Emily has stood by Hannah through every high and low, and now she’s honored to stand by her side on one of the most meaningful days of her life and couldn’t imagine anyone else by her side

Shae and Hannah met at Miami University in January of 2022 through their sorority, and from that moment on, they became inseparable college best friends. Shae is the life of the party, always ready for a good time, and can strike up a conversation with absolutely anyone. Hannah is so excited to have her by her side to celebrate!

Kate and Hannah met through Ryan (one of Wade’s groomsmen) and Wade, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. They bonded over the challenges of military life—trying to decode endless acronyms they still don’t understand and navigating long distance like pros (or at least pretending to be). Hannah can’t imagine getting through it all without Kate, and now they’re standing by each other’s side in each others weddings

Kate Dye

Emely and Hannah have been best friends since middle school, growing up side by side through all of life’s phases. Emily is one of the kindest, most dependable people you’ll ever meet—someone who’s always there when you need her. Hannah is so excited to have her by her side on such a special day!

Emely Hernandez

Hannah met Kaylie through Emely, and the three of them have been inseparable ever since. Most of their time together involves laughing at things no one else understands—and honestly, sometimes they don’t even know what they’re laughing about either. Kaylie’s sense of humor is unmatched, her energy is contagious, and she somehow makes every moment more fun. Hannah is so grateful for their friendship and couldn’t imagine this day without Kaylie by her side.

Kaylie Roessler

This is Kathryn! She met Hannah through her older brother, Wade. Since Hannah came into his life, Kathryn has been so excited to gain another sister. She’s currently pursuing her doctorate in Occupational Therapy at Indiana University (she’s seriously smart!) and can’t wait to celebrate Hannah and Wade’s big day!

Kathryn Lawrie

Meet Kaley! She’s Wade’s sister-in-law and is married to his brother, Blake. The two currently live in England and are expecting their first baby (so excited!!). Kaley and Blake were thrilled to meet Hannah at a family wedding last summer and have loved seeing how happy she and Wade are together. Kaley is excited to gain another sister and can’t wait to celebrate the two of them in July!

Kaley Lawrie

Meet Kendall, Hannah’s youngest bridesmaid and her little cousin! Not only is she an amazing singer (prepare for impromptu performances), but she’s also the undefeated foosball champion of the family. She’s always guaranteed to bring a smile to your face—unless you’re playing foosball against her, then it’s game over. Hannah has loved watching her grow up and is so excited to her by her side on this day!

Kendall Weirich

Katelyn is Hannah’s sweet little cousin and one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet. With her bright smile and kind heart she lights up every room she walks into. Whether she’s making someone laugh, giving the best hugs, or just being herself, Katelyn brings so much joy to everyone around her. Hannah feels so lucky to have her be part of this special day!

As Wade's older brother, Blake has the privilege of knowing Wade since the day he was born.  Inseparable growing up, Blake and Wade had many adventures and misadventures together - though he will assure you that the misadventures had nothing to do with an older brother's bad influence.  He is thrilled to welcome Hannah into the family, and very excited for Wade and Hannah's future life together in Japan!

Blake Lawrie

Originally raised in small town Alabama, JC traveled to colorful Colorado to attend the United States Air Force Academy. It was here in Basic training that he and Wade first crossed paths. They’d spend the next two years together in the same squadron until the military forced them apart. But the mighty distance across the Academy‘s terrazzo was not vast enough to keep them separated, as they continued to spend most weekends for another two years together.  Since then, JC has been to Vance AFB for pilot training and is now stationed at hurlburt field, flying the AC130J.
