Our Wedding

Our first date was at the Blue Door in OKC, where we sat on metal chairs and spent the night listening to the lesser known singer/songwriter Jason Eady. Little did we know, sitting there in that unassuming listening room, a start of a deep connection was happening that would carry on for years. Beyond music, we share a deep love for simple things, good company, and being outside. Every summer we sneak off to the Rockies, seeking the beauty and adventure of the mountains. A lot of these trips are spent splitting time camping in the bed of an old Tundra, and catching a shower every few days at a random Air Bnb. Any gal that could put up with those conditions and still hang around must be a keeper. In 2022, on one of these mountain trips, we stumbled on to the Stonewall/Cuchara area on our way back home. We ate dinner on the patio, listened to a Texas country band play in light rain, and then got to watch a rainbow form over the lake. We knew this was a special place, but honestly didn't realize we would return to get married until earlier this year. Our 5 year courtship has been filled with ups and downs, prayers, tears, joy, laughter, learning, and a whole lot of grace. You are not receiving this invitation by mistake. We genuinely love and cherish the people in our lives, and going through life's journeys together —and can’t wait for the next one—our wedding day—with all of you!

Elyse is not only my big sister but also my best friend. Though she now lives in Kansas City with her husband, two sons, and two dogs, distance has never kept us apart—we talk every single day. No matter what, Elyse is always there for me with unwavering love, support, and laughter. I couldn’t imagine this special day without her by my side!
