A Pyramid Proposal at Chichen Itza

Our Story

Transportation

Dustin is not only my older brother but has been my best friend my entire life. He has always looked out for me and included me in everything despite our almost ten year age difference. I was always invited and welcomed with the older guys whether it was out boating, chilling by the pool, playing poker all night, or just hanging watching UFC and Seahawk games.

Dustin

Kristina and I were partnered by our professor 10 years ago at UW. We became instant friends when we discovered no amount of studying helps directionally challenged college kids in the woods with a compass. Kristina was exactly the same then as she is now – quick to laugh and curious about everything. She’s there when I need life advice, want to share my dreams, or need&nbsp;coffee and a new book!

Kristina 

I&nbsp;met Christy in 8th&nbsp;grade and I remember being drawn to how genuine she was. I was new to the school that year but she invited me over anyway! We’ve been going on walks, to charity events, and girl trips ever since and I hope it never ends because Christy is one of the most selfless, fun, down to earth people I’ve ever known!

Christy

I met Trevor in first grade at recess on the soccer field. He kept yelling “Pass me the ball Zachary!” It drove me nuts but was the start of a lifelong friendship that continued all the way until now. No matter where Trevor has lived throughout our lives, his house has always been my second home.&nbsp;Cheers to many more nights of tequila shots, board games, and dance parties (and hogging the music).

Trevor

Brent and I go back to Kindergarten – we grew up together playing on all the same sports teams. Brent is one of my favorite people in the world to travel with because anywhere you go with him you know it’s going to be a good time. He’s easy going, very inclusive and says some of the funniest one liners I’ve ever heard.

Brent

Lyndsay (Lou) is one of my oldest and closest friends. After 27 years of friendship, she knows me so well that sometimes I don’t have to explain anything and she still gets it. All of my memories with Lou&nbsp;involve an insane amount of laughter, with both of us eventually ending up on the floor in&nbsp;tears! I think when we’re 90, she will still be as aware, hilarious, and honest as she is now!

Lyndsay 

My brother knew he’d found the one early on in his&nbsp;relationship with Nicole&nbsp;and as I’ve gotten to know her&nbsp;like he does, it’s easy to see why! Nicole is incredibly attentive and conscientious about others. She is always down for a coffee, wine, Pilates, or brunch date and somehow she’s always able to see the bigger picture. In the last 4 years Nicole and I have grown from friends to sisters and I love that I can say we’re family!

Nicole D.

Many of my friends are very funny
and unique in their own ways. Andy is without a doubt one of the funniest human
beings on this planet. He’s blunt, honest, and incredibly loyal and will shout
at you aggressively if you don’t move your Sorry! piece quick enough.

Andy

I’m incredibly lucky that both of my brothers have great taste in girls! Allyssa is incredibly dependable and hard-working, with an awesome sense of humor. She is always present for others, putting other people’s needs above her own. Whether I need a laugh or a shoulder to cry on, she’s got a SnapChat filter or bottle of Rose&nbsp;waiting to brighten any day!

Allyssa 

Living with Adam (and Trevor) was some of the most fun and funny 2 years of my life. Adam is the wittiest person I know and will have you going “Wait what?” Then when you get the witty joke he said you will be doubled over laughing. Halo missions?

Adam

“Captain Stan”, is a straight
shooter that will give you honest candid advice whenever you need it. I value
his opinion, how he thinks about things, and his work ethic is second to none.
His stubbornness is also quite entertaining, whether it’s arguing about
Starcraft 2 strategies, debating UFO’s/Aliens, or which UFC fighter is going to
win. It’s always going to be a good time with Austin.&nbsp;

Austin

Danie and I grew up together. When we were little&nbsp;we&nbsp;lived close enough to walk to each other’s houses, which was critical to our ability to practice our basketball moves. Danie is someone I’ve known my entire life – from our DT days, to me third-wheeling it, to my mom chasing her around our house, to oreo cakes, and our teaching days – her positive energy and outlook on life has never changed!&nbsp;&nbsp;

Danie 

Some of the best times of my life were hanging out with Alex when he lived on Alki beach and I would stay at his place for the weekend (the basement game room setup was sick). What I really admire about Alex is his constant connection and reaching out to his friends. Whether he's calling you on a random Tuesday to see what's new or trying to organize all the boys to just hang. He seems to be the glue to many friendships.&nbsp;

Alex

I&nbsp;met Nicole in 8th&nbsp;grade and we became instant best friends. We dressed alike, our Pomeranians were friends, we were weird, goofy, and tended to laugh until one of us was either snorting or in tears&hellip; 20 years later, not much has changed! Nicole has the biggest, warmest heart, is the kind of person who’d give you the coat off her back in a snowstorm – and she’s been that way since the day we met.&nbsp;

Nicole G.

Lauren and I met in 8th&nbsp;grade and she is just as easy to love now as she was then – whether her car is stolen or someone is trying to steal my Halloween candy – Lauren has always been open-hearted and easy going, with an inspiring ability to never take life too seriously!&nbsp;

Lauren 

I’m pretty sure when I first met
Andrew I thought I had just met my twin. We’ve always been step and tow with
our interests and hobbies from bodybuilding, astronomy, talking about aliens or
ancient civilizations. I love talking to Andrew because he is so knowledgeable
about such a vast array of subjects and always provokes deep thought. Then he’ll
switch it up and say the funniest thing with a very dry delivery and have you
dying laughing.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

Andrew

I met Dan when I started working at Allegro Pediatrics in 2012. I immediately gravitated towards Dan. He is one of the smartest, most genuine, funny, and&nbsp;most selfless people I know. He has been there for me through many ups and downs and I can always count on him for unbiased intelligent advice. He doesn’t hesitate to help tutor me with math homework after working an 8 hour day, or invite/include me in with his group of friends.&nbsp;

&nbsp;I met Maggie in Junior High and she is still one of the most attentive listeners I’ve ever known. Whether I missed something being said in class or I am rambling on about whatever’s going on in my life now, Maggie listens and hears everything. She’s quick to consider others, slow to judge, and one of my lifelong friends!

Maggie 

Kyle and I have been buddies since junior high and he was my first introduction to lifting weights. We both trained together for years and ended up fulfilling goals of competing in bodybuilding shows the same year. Kyle and I have very similar stories on how we got to where we are and matching personalities. We still meet up for beers and get solid jaw pumps on at the gym when we talk about life. I value those conversations very much.&nbsp;

Kyle

Erin and I have known each other since 1st grade! I remember being jealous of how smart she was when we were little, and she’s still that way. Erin has one of the most infectious laughs I’ve ever heard and she’s quick to use it! From sleepovers, pool parties, and Camp Firwood days, to girls nights and ladies weekends now – Erin is someone I have always and will always love being around!

Erin 

Brittany is Zach's older sister,&nbsp;someone I love being around because she’s always herself. I’ve learned I can count on her first as a friend, and now as a soon-to-be sister-in-law. From the first time we met she’s been dependable, the best kind of sarcastic, and she’s always made sure to include me. I couldn’t be luckier, or happy to be gaining a sister in Britt!

Brittany

Curtis is Kirsten’s oldest, younger brother. I will be gaining another older brother and I couldn't have asked for a better person than Curt. He is very in tune and down to earth. He’s also a great person to ask for advice on many different subjects. He (and Nicole) are also so welcoming and generous as always inviting and hosting family gatherings and holidays at their home.

Curtis

Heather is Zach's sister-in-law, and&nbsp;has opened her home and her arms to me since the beginning of my relationship with Zach. One of our favorite spots to watch the Seahawks and BBQ, or just hang out, is at Heather and Dustin’s house. Heather is just as generous now as she was then and I can’t wait to officially be family!

Heather 

Travis is Kirsten’s youngest brother. You can always count on Travis to provide humorous and non stop entertaining conversation. What I love about Travis is how genuinely friendly he is and always seems to bring the mood up whenever im around him. He is also my nerd counterpart to myself which grants us great conversations about video games or anything computing/tech.

Travis

Loganne is Kirsten's niece, and Kendall and Hailey are Zach's nieces. When they're together (and when they're not) these little ladies are wild! It's always so much fun to watch them run around together - playing any and all sorts of games and giggling like their lives depend on it!
