Our Wedding

Darren and Jocelyn's story began at Boulderdash climbing gym. Darren was the manager of the gym, but he was also an experienced crack climber with a love for Joshua Tree. Meanwhile, Jocelyn was a typical gym "bro", more at home on plastic walls than real rock.Despite their different climbing styles, Darren and Jocelyn would often chat whenever Jocelyn came into the gym. Jocelyn was a talker, and Darren was happy to listen to her stories and jokes. They became friendly acquaintances, but nothing more.Then, Darren decided to leave the gym to pursue his passion for outdoor climbing (and other rock-related occupations). He didn't want to lose touch with Jocelyn, so he started inviting her to join him on his outdoor climbing adventures. At first, they went bouldering, even though it wasn't either of their preferred styles.Jocelyn just complained non-stop about how much she hated bouldering. But Darren just smiled and listened, secretly thrilled that he was getting to spend time with this amazing woman. Through all the complaining and groaning, a spark grew between them.They continued climbing together, tackling tougher routes/problems and pushing each other to new heights. Jocelyn hatred of bouldering turned into a full-fledged fury, which eventually made her work a lot harder, and Darren grew into the boulder bro, we now know and love. They found a rhythm as climbing partners and, eventually, as a couple.And that's the story of how Darren and Jocelyn met - through friendly chit chat, outdoor adventures, and lots of complaining about bouldering.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for being such an incredible part of my life, especially during this special journey leading up to my wedding day. Your unwavering support, love, and friendship have meant the world to me, and I am truly blessed to have you by my side.

My amazing forever bestie dating back to Elite Cheer. Hannah has finally came over to the dark side and is now an incredible bad ass Cardiac ICU nurse. Hit her up if you if you're questioning what medications to take with alcohol (plz don't)

Hannah

What started out in high school as my brother's friend  blossomed into both our besties - says a lot about her patience. Emma earned her spot as one of the Brown's and has personally curated my own skin care routine.

Emma (real name Emily)

We met in 6th grade  Mr. Godwin's social studies class and  have been friends ever since. Taylor is a true animal lover and has turned her passion into her occupation - owning her own dog walk/sitting company!

Taylor

Taya is my alter ego climbing twin, adventure partner and dungeons and dragons master. Extremely smart, funny, and kind. The only person to match her competitiveness is my own. Pro tip: don't play Catan with us

Taya

Literally the Sweetest person I know! I don't think I've heard her say anything mean about anyone. I want to be as unabashedly kind as she is when I grow up. She's a soon to be mama and will have a little one by the time of the wedding!

Erin

Julia is a whirlwind of fun and adventure, always the instigator of our escapades. She's not just a forever BFF but also a dedicated, hardworking companion who practically carried me through some of my toughest college classes.

The first time I met Nicole, I thought she came straight off the set of Jersey Shore. I had no clue so much personality could come from such a small person. Nicole is an incredible L&D nurse and recently had a baby girl of her own!

Nicole

One of the first people I met at Penn State. She’s one of those people you can always count on. She’s also a superhuman and works her ass off as a OBGYN resident while being the best mom to her 1 hear old daughter
