Our Wedding

What better way to start a relationship then being friends first? Our friendship started about 5 years ago when Josh and I met through mutual friends. Josh became close friends with Sean and Dan at work, where my mom also works. It just so happens Sean and my sister started dating, which is how I met Josh. For years Sean would tease Josh and I about being perfect for each other. Of course we just rolled our eyes and laughed it off. Then one night after a group of our friends hung out for a wine night, Josh and I decided we didn't want to go home yet and ended up talking for hours. That's when we knew we had much in common and time spent together was easy and felt right. I still remember telling Josh a few weeks after we started dating that I was going to marry him someday. And here we are!

Friendship turned into love

Josh planned a trip to Ocean Shores for our 2 year anniversary. Of course I didn't think anything of it because we like going on trips so it wasn't out of the ordinary. The second day there, Josh wanted to take a walk on the beach. I found a sand dollar that was full of sand. Josh pointed out a nearby creak that he would rinse it off. While he was kneeling down to rinse it off, I kept thinking how long he was taking. When my back was turned he said my name to get my attention, and when I turned around he was on one knee with a ring in hand. We couldn't stop smiling for days, it was the perfect, most intimate way to purpose, with nobody else around and the beach to ourselves.

Tom and I met freshman year of High School. We were inseparable throughout our time in High School, and into College. We currently live on opposite sides of the country, but we always pick up right where we left off.&nbsp;

Not only is she my Maid of Honor because she's my sister/best friend, but also because she is the main reason how I met Josh! My big sis and I have always been close, and I couldn't be happier to have her by my side.

Bri and I have been friends since we were in our early 20's. Both growing up in Kent we went to different high schools, but through mutual friends we became inseparable! Through thick and thin 

I met Sean through work 10 years ago, and he was instrumental in introducing me to Lisa. Though we don't work together any more, we remain close friends, and soon to be brothers in law.

Sean

Dan is another good friend (going on 8 years) I met through work, we spend countless weeks and weekends together doing just about anything.

We have been very close friends since early 20's when we met through mutual friends. There was a part in our lives we drifted apart, but about 4 years ago we reunited through 6 degrees of separation (longer story) and now we have been framily ever since! 

Angie

Kadan has been in my life for the last three years, and I look forward to him and I officially becoming family.

Kadan

Sara is one of my longest and closest friends. We may not be blood related but I consider her a sister. We met when we were 13 in Jr High and let me say...she has taught me a lot through life! We've been through the good, the bad, and the ugly and I couldn't imagine my day without her by my side with all her grace and charm that you grow to love.
