Our Wedding

<p>Lars and Mackenzie started their journey at a place that that is still special to them this day. They were set up on a blind date at Mt. Baker through mutual friends, Jay and Sierra. Mackenzie was "tricked" into meeting Lars, after being asked multiple times by their friends to set her up with him. Although Mackenzie tried her hardest to give Lars the cold shoulder and act uninterested, he eventually wore her down with his charm and sick snowboarding skills. She realized she may have been wrong to write this guy off so quickly and ended up asking him for his number at the end of the day. Living in different cities they figured this couldn't possibly work out, but she let him take her out anyways. After just one date, Lars had a feeling this girl was the one but made sure to play it cool. They quickly became infatuated with each other and fell madly in love. Sharing a home and two dogs together, they are building the life they have always dreamed of, ready to take on the world together.</p>

Our Story

Photos

Sister of the Bride - Casey and Mackenzie share a relationship built not just on family, but on years of standing by each other through thick and thin. Growing up together playing in the water and wilderness they overcame life's obstacles and created an unbreakable bond. Outside of her role as sister, Casey is a passionate surfer who finds peace on the waves and is a dedicated technical consultant, where her sharp mind and problem-solving skills shine. Her love for her sister runs deep, and she's honored to be standing by her side as she begins this new chapter of her life.

Best friend of the Groom - Max and Lars have known each other since they were just two years old. They grew up together as next door neighbors and consider each other as family more than friends. Their relationship is one that always picks up right where it left off- no matter how much time has passed it's like no time has gone by at all. Max is happily married to his beautiful wife Christina and together they share a lovely family in Prosper, Texas including daughter Avery, son Connor and two dogs Riley and Ellie. This year marks the 10th wedding anniversary of Max and Christina where Lars proudly stood by as Best Man for him. Max is returning the favor now, being there for him as a lifelong friend and brother.
