The Story of Us!

When we met in the year 2017, neither one of us had a clue what would unfold over the next several years.&nbsp;What started as an unlikely friendship, grew to the love of a lifetime.&nbsp; To say the least, we both were at very low points in our lives. Yet what surprised us both was to learn that just when you think you are so incredibly broken that you are truly "unlovable", you cross paths with someone who thinks you are the easiest of all humans to love. Every "broken" piece you view of yourself is actually the most beautiful creation. The road was far from easy. Luke joining a family with mostly grown children, Angie learning some very different ways of living that she had never experienced. Not easy....but so worth it! We've had our ups and downs for sure! We've experience loss of people and jobs. We've experienced success of new careers, relationships, hobbies, and an incredible amount of emotional growth. We've experience times of just scraping by, to times of thriving to a point where we have joyfully and intentionally care for others who needed it. We've had times of being almost attached at the hip and times of navigating distance through work travels. We've even traveled back and forth across the country together (a few times) and just loved each other more after! Through it all there is one thing that has been unwavering. The sincere and genuine friendship between us has held strong against every challenge. Not just learning each other but truly KNOWING each other. A never ending effort to speak each other's love language. The ability to comfortably ask for what we are needing, knowing that it will never be "too much". How incredibly beautiful it is to be genuinely seen, and authentically loved. So here we are today, inviting you all to celebrate our commitment to each other by joining us for a weekend of wedding celebrations. We cannot thank you all enough for the support you have shown us through the years. We hope this weekend will not just be a celebration of our marriage, but also of the incredible importance of true connection between those we love.

Our Story

Photos

Angie met Deena at Chryssi's Bachelorette party in 2012 in Boise, ID and they were an instant match!  Over the last 13 years there has been countless memories made.  They have been together through some great times and some of the hardest times.  The distance has never seem to create the slightest of a barrier to the friend ship.  Deena has been Angie's rock through so many twists and turns.  She has even been a temporary home for Luke when he has been over the road through the area and for Conner when he was at Lineman School.  Deena is such a blessing in friendship!

Angie met Chryssi in 2011 through their ex husbands who are cousins.  Angie recalls when Chryssi was first introduced to the family thinking, "finally someone I can relate to!".  The friendship blossomed from family gatherings, to chosen and intentional visits and summer adventures between Idaho and Washington.  There were never ending memories and laughter.  Anything from sitting around fires with music to making our own commercials.  Chryssi has been there through the good times and the hard times.  Despite the twists, turns, and relationship changes this friendship remains!

Chryssi

Angie met Veronica about 23 years ago when she began seeing Angie's brother.  From the moment they met, they became not just sister-in-laws, but true sisters.  So many laughs over the years.  They have always taken great pride in making family gatherings fun (and even a little embarrassing at times).  They have been through some amazing times together.  Sadly, they share the the hardest times in life as well.  The bond between them, and the shared strength as mothers, has been one of the greatest blessings that has been a true source of strength for Angie over the years.  

Veronica

Angie has known Sabrina since she was born, since she is the younger cousin!  Angie has many fond memories in childhood of playing at family events with Sabrina on the farm.  As life does, adulting happened.  There were periods of separation. Thankfully, the paths returned precisely when they were supposed to.  Sabrina and Angie reunited at a time that seemed to be a significantly critical time for both of them.  With young children, navigating relationships, and all of life's challenges.  The connection was there and has never left.  Every moment together is always a blessing, and always fun to play the "twin game"!

Sabrina

Luke met Jeremy in 2012 at Summer Bash (Sand Lake, Or) Annual Event.  It started over general interests and similar senses of humor and has just grown stronger over the years.    Even through life's struggles they have been able to get together and create good memories.  The friendship is just natural regardless of how frequent or infrequent interactions are.  Jeremy is the closest person Luke has to a brother and wouldn't have it any other way!

Jeremy

Luke has known James for approximately 29 years!  They met in the motorcycle community through James' dad when Luke was about 7 years old and James was about 21.  Luke was like the annoying little brother of the group.  Not only did Luke look up to him he also learned what not to do!  As life went on for both of them and Luke matured their relationship changed to more of a friendship and has been steady since.  Through thick and thin they have always been there for each other.  Even if they go some time without talking, with every quick call it's like it's been no time at all.

James

Luke met Rob in 2015 through mutual friends.  They shared a lot of the same outdoor interests and personalities just clicked.  They have been there for each other through the years.  All the good and the bad.  Ironically, Luke and Angie met at a party at Rob's house so Rob's horse shoe pit will always have special meaning!  Rob and Luke can always connect and catch up on life, kids, work, hobbies and can always count on each other to be there if needed for anything.  No questions asked.

Luke met Don around 2022 through mutual friends.  What started more as an "acquaintance" type relationship developed into a more intentional, honest, and important relationship that has been key in challenging thoughts and growth.  Looking at things from different perspectives and experiencing how relationships can deepen in that process has been a truly great experience for Luke.  Don has become someone that Luke can turn to not just for advice, but also as someone who he knows will always push him to keep growing. Mutual interests have began to be discovered and this is only the beginning!
