Our Wedding

We started as friends. Just two people who somehow always ended up talking to each other. We talked about everything and nothing. We’d always be teasing each other. We were both completely oblivious. That is until Jonah admitted he had feelings. He didn’t want to because we were friends, but he “did and he couldn’t help it” It wasn’t like in the movies where the music swells and everything suddenly makes sense. It was quieter than that. It was staying around a little longer at places or on the phone just to keep talking. Finding any and all reasons to do something to see each other. It was knowing exactly what the other person was thinking just by a look. Same humor, same competitiveness, same sarcastic comments at the worst possible time, or saying something people wouldn’t ever imagine saying. We are basically the same person — just in two different bodies. Everyone else seemed to notice what was happening before we did. The way we gravitated toward each other. The way we defended each other and always had each others back. Somewhere between inside jokes and LATE-night conversations, the friendship started to blur into something softer... Warmer...And then one day, it just clicked. Not because something big happened. But because being without each other suddenly felt wrong. Starting as friends with the same hobbies turned into going anywhere and everywhere with each other — An inseparable bond! What started as friendship, became home!

Our Story

Photos

Vanessa is Becca's older sister. Growing up she has always been Becca's role model and her rock. They also used to be told that they were "twins" which they both disagreed with every time until they got older, they decided to accept the fact that everyone saying that was correct. Vanessa is the type of person to drop anything for anyone and is the best sister anyone could ask for. She is always giving great advice even if its the hard truth. At parties when Vanessa and Becca are both drinking it is highly likely you can find them both on the dance floor...most likely singing with a microphone, dancing, or whipping their head around which probably is giving them a sore neck the next day.

Mal and Becca have been friends since 2021. Anytime they would go do something together, everyone would ask how long they have been friends and they were shocked that it hasn't been their whole life. As their friendship grew, they always referred to each other as "soul sister" to the point they decided to get matching tattoos of that. Before Becca moved to Lacrosse, you could always find her at Mal's house. Mal then moved out of Lacrosse and Becca moved to Lacrosse. You then could always find Mal at Becca's house. They could have a good time going on an adventure or sitting in the same room in silence.

Maya is Becca's sister-in-law. They were actually friends before Maya and Nathan were together. When Maya turned 16, she invited Becca to her birthday party which made Becca feel like the COOLEST girl ever. Even though Becca didn't go out for dance Maya found it in her to still be her friend ;) Shortly after that Maya and Nathan found love that ultimately brought Maya into the Lee family for good! Whenever Becca has the chance, she will always mention that SHE was in Maya's life first. Maya is the sweetest soul anyone could ever know, and Becca is so lucky to have such a sweet, loving, beautiful, and caring sister-in-law.

Alyssa is Becca's cousin. They have been besties from the start. Alyssa used to always follow Becca's lead when they were kids. (dangerous right?)  When they were young you could most definitely find them planning on how they would be able to have a sleepover. Most times they got their way. They managed to be each other's favorite even after Becca burnt Alyssa with a sparkler AND burned her leg on a moped. These days as they are older when they are together you can find them watching videos of the dumb stuff they did as toddlers. Anytime Alyssa comes home they try and make a plan to see each other, even if it is just for a little bit. 

Alyssa Johnson

Ariel and Becca have been friends for over a decade. You could always find them with each other in High School. When they were together, they are always up to something, and it probably was no good. Whether it was fooling around when we should have been focused at volleyball. Or even something completely different like taking Becca's kitchen faucet, spraying the kitchen floor, and then sliding through it.  They also thought we were so cool taking pictures on Becca's DS with fake rotten teeth in their mouth. You could find them passing a volleyball strictly with their head to see how high of a volley they could get, this went on for hours.  You could also find Ariel on Becca's shoulders at parties or the bar, for whatever reason they thought it was such a good idea. 

Ariel Scanlan

Rachel and Becca have also been friends for 10 plus years. Around 7th grade Becca's favorite thing to do was hot tub at Rachel's grandma's house and dye Rachel's hair. They have been through thick and thin and still managed to come out of everything friends! Back in the day you could find them at fires, side by siding, playing yard games, going out to eat, shopping, or just jamming in car rides. For a good amount of time they had a ritual to go out to eat at JTs every Wednesday for steak dinners. You could also find them laughing for hours at videos they took the night before or even videos from months ago as if it just happened. Rachel is so down to earth and has always been there for Becca for whatever she needed willing to give advice and be there for whatever she could.

Casey is one of Becca's lifelong friends. Becca's mom does in home daycare and Casey's mom works at Becca's neighbor's house which is also Casey's uncle. In the summer Casey would go to work with her mom and Becca and her would have countless playdates. They also used to do dancing videos and post them on YouTube (cringe right lol) They would play countless hours of "bar", house, and so much more. They also played sports together in high school. Becca later went on to coach Casey in Volleyball which ended up in an ER trip when Casey rammed her nose into the bleachers and needed stitches. Casey and Becca thought it was a good idea to rollerblade from Houston all the way to Rushford; turns out it was a horrible idea. They played women's league volleyball together in Winona for a few years and they also played bar league softball together which they looked forward to as they got to see each other every week. Whenever they had the chance, they would always go early to one another's house before games to just be able to see each other longer. 

Casey Porter

Caislee is Becca's niece and godchild. She is spoiled beyond measure and has any person she meets wrapped around her finger! She quite literally gets whatever she wants because Auntie B can't tell her no. She is what we call a sour patch kid, she is sour and then she is sweet. Everyone always says how much Caislee looks like her Auntie B and for some reason they say she acts like her Auntie B as well, so Becca takes that as a good thing!! Caislee sure does love her Uncle "Nonah" as well. Anytime Becca calls or shows up without Jonah, Caislee never hesitates to ask where he is or if he will be coming to see her. When they have sleepovers at auntie and uncles house they always make sure to make one of her favorite meals and usually go to scooters the next morning so Cais can get a smoothie and Auntie B can get her coffee!

Ella started daycare at Becca's moms at 3 months old until she went to preschool. Ella and Becca are besties and they even have matching necklaces to prove it!! Becca would always come home from college during nap time and sneak Ella to her room so they could nap together. Becca will forever miss the days she was called 'Gecca' because it was the cutest thing ever.  Whenever Becca and Ella see each other, they always give the biggest hug! Ella is in dance so Becca always tries to be there to do her makeup and then go support her at her dance recital! They both can’t wait to get ready for the big wedding day together!

Josh is Jonah's younger brother. Josh, Jonah, and Becca were roommates for a few years where they all grew pretty close.  You could find them playing softball, playing the wii, or videogames when they were together. 

Josh Waite 

Dylan is Becca's older brother. Dylan and Jonah know each other from softball as they are on the same team. That is actually how they ended up together. Jonah asked Dylan ig Becca was any good at volleyball since they needed another girl to play. Becca ended up on that team, they became friends, and the rest is history.  You can find the two talking about hunting, sports, and so much more. Becca and Dylan used to hate each other-- like had to be separated in car rides or they would fight the whole time. As they got older, they found out that they actually did kind of like each other which made them pretty close. 

Dylan Lee

Nathan is Becca's older brother. Nathan was always the trouble maker of the family. One time he was possibly under the influence and made the bad decision to punch a window. Then coming home with a bloody hand told Becca we needed to tell their parents that she swung a hose clamp at him which caused the cut. They ran with the story and for years Becca took the blame and criticism from the whole football team as he had to miss camp due to his injury. Jonah and Nathan together can be dangerous. Never leave them in a swim up bar alone because they will either act like they are dating or be splashing all over and probably get threatened to be kicked out at least a few times.

Jordan is Becca's brother-in-law. You could find him and Becca making fun of each other 99% of the time. 

Jordan Erdmann

Cullan is Becca's long time hometown friend. Very quickly Jonah and Cullan hit it off and became pretty close and are like two peas in a pod.

Urijah is Jonah's nephew. He sure is a little hunny! Urijah had a very good memory remembering the smallest things which surprises us every time that he has remembered it. When Uncle Jonah and Auntie Bec come over he is always wanting to play "just for a little bit" One of his favorite places being downstairs!
