Our Wedding

Like all great 21st-century romances, ours began in a hospital… and on Hinge. We were both working in Tucson, AZ, unknowingly orbiting each other in the same hospital until a well-timed swipe brought us face-to-face. Alex made the first move — and in a bold twist, invited Kayla to dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse&nbsp;on his birthday&nbsp;for our first date. Lucky for him, it paid off. We've basically been inseparable ever since. A year later, we moved in together and adopted our beloved fur-child:&nbsp;Garlick Crab Rangoon. She is named after Kayla’s favorite foods, and we love her just as much as our DoorDash order. Eventually, the desert heat got the best of us, so we traded saguaros for pine trees and moved to Flagstaff. We bought a house, fell in love with the mountain life, and settled into a cozy rhythm of hikes, dog snuggles, and learning to love each other's quirks. Kayla has bravely endured Alex’s passion for WWE (and now she perpetually has Cody Rhodes’ theme song stuck in her head), while Alex has fully embraced the fact that for Kayla,&nbsp;every day is Halloween&nbsp;— and there’s no such thing as too many pumpkins or skeleton décor. Two years after that first steakhouse date, Alex proposed on Kayla’s birthday at a cozy garden bar. He had a ring, a plan, and&nbsp;one small hiccup&nbsp;— momentarily blanking on her middle name mid-speech (nerves are real!). She said yes anyway. They celebrated that weekend at a Phoenix resort with cocktails, poolside lounging, and Goodwill thrifting. Now, here we are — about to say “I do” with the people we love most by our side. Thank you for being part of our wild, silly, spooky, and steak-filled story. Love,Kayla &amp; Alex (&amp; ChatGPT)

Q + A

Drury Inn & Suites Flagstaff

A bus is booked for wedding day transportation for all guests. The bus will leave the Drury Inn at 3:30pm on Saturday October 18th to drop off guests at the venue. The bus will leave Aldea Weddings in the Woods after the reception at 10:00pm to return back to the Drury Inn. Alternatively, guests are welcome to drive to the venue themselves. The venue has ample parking and is about 15 minutes away from the hotel. Uber and Lyft have also been reliable for us in Flagstaff, but they likely will not be able to accommodate everyone at the wedding.

AZ Limo

A commonly used shuttle from the Phoenix airport to Flagstaff. For those guests who wish to fly into the Phoenix airport without a car rental. Phoenix to Flagstaff is about a 2.5 hour drive.
