Our Wedding

We first met right after our freshman year of high school during "summer gym" at Lafayette High School. Little did we know that our chance encounter would develop into nearly eight years together by the time of our wedding. Over the years, we've shared countless concerts, band competitions, football games, vacations, and formals. These shared experiences have shaped our journey together, filling it with cherished memories and strengthening the love we celebrate as we approach our wedding day.If someone had told us at age 14 and 15 that Ian would propose on top of a mountain in Salzburg, Austria, and that we would be married a year later, we probably would have laughed. While we both hoped to stay together, we knew the challenges and changes that were ahead of us. Yet, through it all, we've grown together, becoming the best versions of ourselves because of our relationship. 	Now, all these years later, we've confronted both expected and unexpected challenges, each one strengthening our bond and making us a more resilient team. We're thrilled to share this special day with our loved ones and look forward to the future milestones that await us as husband and wife. 	Reflecting on our journey from high school teenagers to soon-to-be husband and wife, we're grateful for the love, support, and growth we've experienced together. Each step has led us closer to this moment, where we stand ready to embark on the next chapter of our lives hand in hand.

Megan has been by my side since the day she was born. She has never failed to be my support system and it’s only fitting that she be right by my side on this special day. She is always ready to crack a joke and her wit is sure to keep everyone on their toes!


Megan Mullins

Merrick is a Kappa Kappa Gamma new member educator turned roommate turned lifelong friend. She always makes sure the vibes are perfect whether it’s building the perfect playlist, planning the itinerary, or cleaning up after all of us. I’m so excited to have her by my side!

Merrick Cooley

I met Abby through Kappa Kappa Gamma and gained an amazing friend. She is the definition of life of the party. She is always ready to share a funny story, a night out, and sound advice. She’ll be sure to keep us all smiling on the big day!!


Abby Ligons

Ella has been there for me since I joined Kappa Kappa Gamma at Centre. She is always down for a late-night dance party, a crafting session, or a movie night. I can’t wait for our upcoming decor projects and to share the dance floor with her!! 


Ella Aponte

Hillary has been in my life since kindergarten and is my longest friends. We made so many memories throughout elementary school, middle school, high school, and college and I can’t wait for the memories to come. Hillary’s spunky, genuine, and fun-loving personality makes her the best person to have in your corner! 

Hillary Johnson

Noelia was one of the first friends I made at Centre, and I couldn’t imagine my Centre experience without her. She is one of the most caring people I know and is always there to listen when you need her most. I can’t wait to have her support on the big day!

Caleb and I officially became friends during our freshman year of high school after years of playing against each other in youth football. We spent countless hours together in class, on the football field, and after transferring to the same high school after our sophomore year. Four years later we are back in school together at UK in the College of Engineering still helping each other get through our classes. Caleb is studying Biomedical Engineering and will be one hell of an engineer when he graduates.

Hutton is a long-lost friend turned "big" brother in my fraternity. After playing youth baseball together we went our separate ways only to find ourselves becoming friends again when I joined Beta Theta Pi at Center College. We initially had no idea who each other was until his wife Merrick and Jacqueline just so happened to be roommates my sophomore year. After a short conversation, we realized our connection and the rest, as they say, is history. Hutton is currently studying medicine at the University of Kentucky Medical School.

Hutton Cooley

Ashton is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. Responsible for introducing me to Beta Theta Pi, and occasionally carrying me through my physics courses at Centre, Ashton has been by my side through almost all of my collegiate career. A fellow student-athlete, Ashton is a maniac on the Tennis courts and is currently planning on teaching tennis in Lexington to whoever is lucky enough to have him as a coach. I can't speak highly enough about him and the support he offered me when I was deciding on what my next steps would be in my education and life.

Stranger, turned brother, turned roommate, it was a pleasure to live with Elliott for my first year back in Lexington after leaving Centre. From late-night Sonic and Cookout runs, to neverending binging of TV shows after long days in class, Elliott is someone that I know I can count on for almost anything. While he currently lives in Illinois, I'm not sure that there is anyone who can beat his passion for the Kentucky Wildcats, and is my constant source for all things recruiting. Elliot is currently planning on attending medical school once his wife, Rachel, finishes her master's in computer science

Boo Pig Sooie! Patrick is another one of my fraternity brothers who I first met as my freshman-year dorm neighbor, but unfortunately is the only one in our friend group who likes sub-par sports teams. All jokes aside, Patrick has been a dependable friend who continually gives solid advice and is always willing to lend an ear when I need someone to talk to. While he may not understand how to pick a good team to support, he sure has his pulse on all things sports and if you try talking to him and he doesn't respond, he's probably listening to Arkansas baseball in the other ear, so cut him some slack. Patrick is currently studying for his master's in Epidemiology at the University of South Carolina.

Conlan "The General" Beck is one of the funniest and most hardworking people I know. When I first started spending time with Conlan one of the first things I noticed was his love for racing. For those of you who know my racing background, this was a very welcome sight to see when I went off to college. From playing racing video games to planning a trip to Eldora to catch a dirt race, Conlan was the man in college that I was able to share my passion for racing when many just think it's all about making "left turns". Conlan is currently studying medicine at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine.
