Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Jacqueline and Carson met in May of 2022, just before Carson graduated from their shared alma mater, Central Washington University. Jacqueline’s friends had brought her to her very first rodeo, and by chance she sat right behind Carson. A simple conversation sparked, and the rest is history. Their first date was anything but ordinary; Carson invited Jacqueline to the Ellensburg Airport, where he was working at the time. Not everyone would enjoy a tug ride to refuel an airplane, but for these two, it was the perfect start. Carson stayed for a fifth year of school while Jacqueline finished her degree, and soon after, they packed up their 4Runners, loaded their first cat, Rooster, and made the big move to Anchorage, Alaska. Since then, they’ve added one more cat, Angus, to the family and have been happily living their cat-parent lives up north for over two years, with many adventures still to come.
