Our Wedding

On November 27, 2021, our lives changed forever. What started as a simple meeting blossomed into something far greater than we ever expected. From that first moment, we knew there was something special between us, something that felt like destiny. As time passed, we’ve laughed together, grown together, and supported each other through everything life has thrown our way.Every day since that date has been filled with moments of joy, love, and a deepening connection. We’ve learned so much from one another and built a partnership founded on trust, kindness, and a shared dream of forever.We are beyond grateful to have found each other, and as we take this next step in our journey, we’re excited to continue building a life full of love, laughter, and adventure—together.

The beginning

From the moment Corey and I crossed paths, it was clear that this wasn’t just a friendship—it was the start of something truly special. We instantly became close, not only with each other, but with each other's families as well. Our connection was deep, natural, and immediate, making it feel like we had known each other forever.But what really made this bond even more memorable was the way our families connected. Owen, with his big heart and endless curiosity, was absolutely obsessed with Corey from the second they met. It was love at first sight for him—Corey had this way of making everyone feel like family right away, and Owen couldn’t get enough of him. Whether it was sharing stories, laughing together, or just hanging out, their connection was undeniable.As our families became intertwined, it didn’t just feel like we were building friendships—it felt like we were all becoming one big, extended family. It’s moments like these that remind us how important it is to surround ourselves with people who make us feel at home.

Family

Corey and I began our relationship during a time of growth and change. He was in his senior year of high school, and I was just a sophomore, but from the very start, we knew something special was happening between us. We navigated those high school years side by side, cheering each other on through all the highs and lows.One of the most memorable moments came when Corey walked across the stage at graduation. I got to be there, right by his side, supporting him as he achieved one of his biggest milestones. And just a couple of years later, it was his turn to cheer for me as I graduated. That moment—watching him smile with pride as I walked the stage—was such a full-circle feeling. It wasn’t just about us crossing those stages—it was about us crossing them together.Through all the late-night talks, shared dreams, and every achievement we celebrated, it was clear that we were building something that would last forever.

After Corey graduated, he set out to follow his dream of becoming a welder, hitting the road to chase opportunities and build his future. It wasn’t easy being apart—long-distance relationships never are—but Corey made sure that no matter how many miles were between us, I always knew how much I meant to him.He was there, in every text, every call, and every sweet gesture that reminded me we were still in this together. No matter how busy life got, he never let the distance dim what we had. It was a challenge, for sure, but it also made us stronger and more sure of our connection. I knew, without a doubt, that we were building something that was worth the wait.

Long distance

One of the most unforgettable experiences Corey and I shared was our very first vacation together. We were joined by my sister Carlee, her husband Dalton, and their two energetic boys, Owen and Oliver. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, and the fun we had was beyond anything we could have imagined.From laughter-filled days to exploring new places, every moment was a reminder of how lucky we were to have such a tight-knit, loving family around us. Corey fit right in with my family, and it didn’t take long before it felt like we’d all been on countless vacations together. Owen and Oliver brought endless joy, and we were all there to create memories that would last a lifetime.It wasn’t just about the sights we saw, but the moments we shared, making each day more special than the last. It was one of those trips that you look back on and think, “We couldn’t have asked for anything better.”

Our First Vacation together

On February 9th, 2024, we took a huge step forward in our journey together—we bought our very first house! It was a moment we had dreamed about and worked toward for so long, and finally seeing it become a reality felt surreal.From the excitement of choosing the perfect place to making it our own, every step was filled with joy, anticipation, and a little bit of nervousness. But more than anything, it was a symbol of how far we’ve come and the future we’re building together. This house isn’t just a place—it’s the start of so many new memories, filled with love, laughter, and everything that makes a home truly ours.

On July 27th, 2024, Corey made our dreams even bigger when he proposed to me. It was a moment that took my breath away—unexpected yet perfectly us. Surrounded by love and excitement, he asked me to spend forever with him, and of course, I said yes.That day wasn’t just about the ring or the proposal—it was about the life we had already built and the future we were about to create together. It was the beginning of the next chapter, one that would be filled with even more love, growth, and memories. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to share my forever with.

Carlee isn’t just my sister—she’s my built-in best friend. Over the years, she’s been my rock, always there when I need her most. No matter the situation, she knows exactly how to bring out the best in me, and I’m so grateful for that.

For the last seven years, Carlee has stepped into the role of a mother figure in my life, offering wisdom, love, and support when I’ve needed it most. She’s helped guide me through so many moments, big and small, and has always shown up with open arms and an open heart. I couldn’t be more thankful for her—she’s truly one of the most important people in my life.

A few years ago, Conner and I became really close friends, and since then, he’s become more like a brother to me. We’re always finding ways to hang out—whether it’s hitting the golf course or coming up with excuses just to spend time together. It’s that kind of friendship that turns into something even deeper, and I’m lucky to have him in my life.

When it came time to choose someone to stand by my side on my big day, there was no question. Conner is more than just a friend—he’s family. I couldn’t ask for a better brother to support me through life’s big moments.

Ashleigh and I have been inseparable since the moment I was born. Growing up, we would dream about our weddings—imagining what they would look like, what our dresses would be like. But there was always one thing we knew for sure: we wanted each other by our sides on our big days. That kind of bond is rare, and I’m so lucky to have her as my constant through life.

We were so alike that when my brother decided to cut my hair, Ashleigh decided she wanted to look like me, too. So, she took matters into her own hands and cut her hair just like mine. It’s just one of the countless memories we’ve shared over the years that shows how deeply connected we are.

I can’t imagine my life without Ashleigh in it—she’s more than just a best friend; she’s family, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side for this next chapter.

Jacob and I recently became really close, but from the moment he came into Laura and my life, he’s always been there for us. He’s the kind of friend you can count on no matter what. When I need help with something or just need someone there, Jacob’s the first person I call.

His support has meant the world to me, and I’m beyond grateful for the friendship we’ve built. It’s the kind of connection that doesn’t come around often, and I’m proud to have him by my side.

Megan and I have been best friends since seventh grade. It’s funny to think back to how it all started—I was being a little bit of a "mean girl" and thought she was rude. But six years later, here we are, completely inseparable.

No matter what time it is, if I call Megan, she always picks up. She’s been there for me through every up and down, and I truly couldn’t ask for a better best friend. Through thick and thin, she’s been by my side, and I’m so thankful for her unwavering support and loyalty.

Megan Conley

Jordon and I became really close from the moment Laura and I got together. He’s one of my closest friends, and I know that whenever I’m out of town, Laura can count on him. Whether it’s helping around the house or just being there for anything she might need, Jordon is always ready to step up without hesitation.

I can call him anytime of the day, and he’ll pick up on the first ring, ready to hang out or lend a hand. Having someone like Jordon in my life—someone who’s reliable, supportive, and always there—is a true blessing.

Jordon Linville 

Katie is my soon-to-be sister-in-law, and honestly, I can’t even put into words how excited I am about it—though "beyond thrilled" might come close. From the very beginning of Corey and I's relationship, Katie and I have always been close. She’s always had my back, no matter what, and that kind of support means the world to me.

I’ve heard other girls talk about the challenges of getting along with their boyfriends' sisters, but I’ve never understood that. I got lucky. I’ve always felt welcomed and loved by Katie, and I couldn’t ask for a better sister to have in my life.

I’m beyond thankful to have her by my side on my big day, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us as sisters.

Since Logan and my sister Katie have been together, he’s become a big part of our lives. The way he treats her from day one earned my respect instantly—he’s a man of integrity, kindness, and loyalty. I’ve seen firsthand how much he cares for her, and that made it easy to welcome him into the family.

Logan’s the kind of guy I know I can always count on, no matter what. Whether it's offering support or just being there when needed, he’s someone I’m proud to call family.

Abby is my absolute best friend, and we first crossed paths in dental assistant school. We were both adjusting to the challenges of a new program, and from the very beginning, we clicked. Whether it was helping each other through tough exams or sharing laughs during break time, Abby's positive energy and support made the experience so much more enjoyable. We quickly became each other’s go-to person for advice, encouragement, and a little bit of humor to get through the tough days. I’m so thankful that dental assistant school brought us together, and I know that our friendship will last far beyond graduation.

Mason and I have been really close since the first time I met him. He’s the kind of guy you can always count on for a good time, and no matter what, he’ll stand by you. His loyalty and good vibes have made him someone I’m proud to have in my life.

I’m beyond glad that Mason is a part of Lauralee’s and my big day. Having him by our side means a lot, and I’m excited to celebrate this new chapter with him.

Mason King

Savannah and I became friends during our senior year of high school, and it felt like an instant connection. We had a few classes together and quickly realized we shared similar interests, from our sense of humor to our love for music and spontaneous adventures. There was just something about the way we could talk for hours without missing a beat, and before long, we were hanging out outside of school too. It was like we had known each other for years, and our friendship became one of the highlights of that final year.

Savannah Vice

Zach and I only met only around 2 years ago, but he has turned into one of my very best friends. We have spent a lot of time together in the time we have known one another wether its playing golf, working, and even small vacations. I know I can always count on him and would be there in a heartbeat if i needed him.
