Wedding Day

Ceremony

Reception

Our first homecoming, Ty drove us in his Uncle Zane and Aunt Cathy’s yellow sports car. Years later, it came full circle when he proposed with her engagement band <3

First Homecoming together Sept 21,2019

 Who knew Ty tossing a half-cut tennis ball at my feet would someday lead to a wedding? 

The place that started it all 

Senior year during Covid, when I got to cheer at his games. I’m pretty sure he was living out his One Tree Hill fantasy. (His favorite TV show) Little did I know it would carry on into Monday night league games too 😂

Tys Forever Cheerleader ;)

5 years together called for my favorite things, and Ty’s least favorite thing to do- pictures!! 

5 Years 

Feb 11,2025 Ty and I bought my great aunts house and moved in! Right before Valentine’s Day- best gift ever! 

Our Home

After 6 years Ty finally asked me to marry him in my favorite spot- my front porch. Shoutout to my sister Jayden for getting me out of my work clothes lol!

The Proposal

Our Wedding

Oh, where do I even begin? I still remember the very first time I saw Ty. We were at a Liberty Union basketball game, and I was sitting with one of my best friends, Tara. She leaned over and whispered, “That’s the new kid.” I glanced over and said, “He’s kinda cute… but he really should fade up the sides of his hair more.” (Should’ve known I’d end up doing hair for a living!) A few months later, out of nowhere, I get a Snapchat from that same “new kid” that literally just said “streaks.” And somehow, that one word started a conversation that never really stopped. The first time I actually talked to him in person was at a track meet. I was probably running the mile and the 800m, and because I was way too shy to even look at him (despite us texting nonstop), he threw a half-cut tennis ball just to get my attention. I even remember him peeking under the fence to watch me run- and honestly, from that moment on, even at just 16, I knew he was the one. Since then, life has been full of seasons: boot camp, deployments, cosmetology school, fire and medic school, and even buying our first home together. Through it all, I’ve only grown to love him more than I ever thought possible. I can’t wait to finally marry you, Ty Nelson.

Her story 

I remember seeing Jasmine for the first time at a track meet — probably Circleville or Logan Elm. She was running the mile or 800m, and I noticed right away how fast she was, with the longest stride, and winning the race. I didn’t talk to her that day. The first time I did, she wouldn’t even look at me. So, I tossed one of our half-cut tennis balls at her feet, and she finally looked up. From there, we started talking,and we never really stopped.

His Story 

Our Story

Photos

My beautiful twin sis, built-in bestie, and partner in all the chaos. She’s most likely to be the party on the dance floor, but I couldn’t do life (or this day) without her. She will always be my first soulmate.

Jayden Roach 

Tara and I have been besties since 7th grade—forever kind of friends. Bonus points that her husband and Ty are besties too, and we live less than 5 minutes apart (built-in hangouts 🙌). She may be the “quiet one,” but her friendship and kindness are anything but. 

Tara Shook 

Since birth, Jillian’s been my built-in bestie. Never had to worry about making friends in kindergarten when I already had her by my side. She’s more like a sister, the life of the party, and guaranteed to make me laugh until my cheeks hurt.

Jillian Wagner 

So excited I’m gaining the best sister-in-law! Camille is gorgeous, hilarious, and always keeps things fun. She’s also my built-in makeup model LOL. AND she even will take photos on my digital camera until I get the one. Officially sisters, and I can’t wait for all the family memories ahead!

Camille Boggs 

Elise is my stunning little sister who can always get me laughing at the dinner table. I love that she’s always down to shop with me and play with our Scarlett girl. In my mind she’s still 5, so it’s wild seeing her all grown up—but I’m so excited she’s here with me on my wedding day!

Elise Young 

I call her Grace because it’s her salon name (mine’s Melia), but she’s always been the updo wizard and glam girl I’ve needed. She’s basically me… just in a more colorful font;) I love that she’s fearlessly herself, and you can always catch her rocking the most creative eyeshadow looks. 

Kenzie (Grace) Walsh 

We met competing at a pageant and have been besties ever since. She’s the most hilarious, absolutely stunning person, never afraid to be herself, and truly the friend God always knew I needed<3
