Our Wedding

In March of 2022, I joined a Discord server an old friend had been in for several months based around charity streamers. Kimberly and I didn’t hang out as much at first as our schedules didn't align, but I enjoyed watching her live on Twitch playing Animal Crossing or A Short Hike whenever I had time. It was around November when I started joining the server's karaoke channel more often, playing guitar and singing. Kimberly was the first one to start consistently joining and singing with me in calls, and I immediately fell in love with her voice. Soon after, we created "Non-Stop Karaoke November," a month-long goal of having karaoke every day. Once we started, we quickly became really close, knowing each other’s favorite songs, games, and anime. Even after November ended, we continued singing and hanging out on a daily basis. By February, we had been texting throughout the day and having 5-hour calls with each other after work. On Valentine’s Day, we finally confirmed our feelings. Thanks to my work, Kimberly had the opportunity to spontaneously fly across the country from Dry Ridge, KY, to visit and stay with me in person in Ketchikan, AK. Our one week together quickly turned into three, and after some decision-making and a month back in Kentucky to pack her belongings, we officially moved in together in Ketchikan in April of 2023. Living together in Ketchikan was an amazing experience, from scootering to Rotary Beach to kayaking in the Tongass Narrows. We’ve taken care of Primrose, Kimberly’s cat that she brought when she moved in, as well as adopted Typha, a loveable stray that found and chose us.&nbsp; Since then, we have moved back to Anchorage, had adventures in Colorado, Kentucky, and Ireland, and cemented ourselves as a pair that has never left each other’s side. In February of 2025, we officially announced our engagement, although we have been seriously devoted and planning on our future together since the beginning. - Marlon

His Story

We met in 2022, through old, mutual friends on Discord. Yes, we met online!At the time, we were both respectively helping small content creators/streamers with charity work, usually something personal to the creator or Make-A-Wish campaigns. We both seemed to have a drive towards charity, and sharing our generosity, which drew us to the same communities to begin with.Our personal friendship really blossomed during November of 2022, where we jokingly started “Non-Stop Karaoke November” by joining a group call every single day. Although it started as a joke concept, we actually ended up going through until mid-December. We didn't always sing, we would play games and chat with each other, but it was our favorite pastime.Our friendship eventually evolved when we recognized our feelings were more than friendly, and began dating in mid-February of 2023. From the beginning, we knew what we wanted from each other, and how we wanted our futures to go. We both found the person we wanted to grow up and grow old with.In a crazy whirlwind, we moved in with each other in April 2023. I moved from Kentucky to a small island at the bottom of Alaska, and we have been practically inseparable since! Marlon and I have had many adventures together, moving from Ketchikan to Anchorage, from one apartment to another, flying over 10 times in just two years, and even going to Ireland. A lot of amazing things have happened!In February of 2025, we announced our engagement to friends and family... although, we might have held onto that secret for a while. Sorry! ❤︎We have already started building our little family, with two cats named Primrose and Typha. Primrose came with me when I first moved in with Marlon, but we found Typha later on together. For our Wedding, we hope to expand our family even further, by including all of you to join us in celebration of our wedding. We appreciate that you came to visit us for this momentous occasion, as you all are OUR guests of honor. This day is dedicated to unity, and love becoming official, forever. Thank you for being here and being a part of it!- Kimberly

Q + A

Flights!

We recommend flying to Anchorage, AK (ANC) rather than to Soldotna or Kenai, as Anchorage is easier to travel to. Please book early as the Summer prices rise and seats are taken quickly during Alaska's tourist season.

Transportation!

Renting a vehicle is highly recommended as Soldotna is an approximately 2.5 hour drive from Anchorage. Rental companies such as Avis and Enterprise are located at the Anchorage Airport, and Turo (AirBnB for cars) is also a recommended choice. If you are traveling in a larger group, or want the true Alaska camping experience, there are many RV rental services available as well!
