Our Wedding

Kelsie and Robert grew up just minutes apart in Granada Hills, California—attending the same elementary school, playing on the same playground, even roaming the same high school halls... but somehow, they never actually met.After high school, life took them in different directions: Kelsie became an emergency room nurse, and Robert went to Utah to sell windows.The two finally crossed paths thanks to a perfectly timed match-up: Kelsie’s best friend Samantha started dating Robert’s best friend Jason. When Kelsie flew to Utah for a family wedding, Samantha convinced her to go on a date with Robert. He took her to dinner and bowling—where Kelsie absolutely crushed him. (Robert has been trying to win a rematch ever since.)From that first night, they were hooked. The next few months were filled with plane tickets, airport goodbyes, and every-other-weekend adventures. They bonded over USC football, breakfast food, snowboarding, and lake days—and quickly realized they were made for each other.Fast forward to today: they’ve built a life together, welcomed their beautiful daughter Hailey, and now they’re getting married! Bear Lake, a place filled with special memories, is where they’ll say “I do” surrounded by the people they love most.They can’t wait to celebrate with you in August of 2026!&nbsp;

The closest airport to the venue is Salt Lake City International Airport which is about 2 hours away. We recommended flying into SLC and renting a car from there.
