Our Wedding

Aaron and Makena met second semester freshmen year in biology class. They were put in a semester long group together, where they had to work closely both during and outside of class. During this time, groomsman Zian sat behind them and told Aaron he saw their chemistry. After they both passed the class, they went on their first date to Burgerville for milkshakes :)

How We Met

Our Story

Photos

Lily and Makena are best friend soulmates. They met in middle school and became close in high school (*Fun fact, Lily was too hyper when they met, and Makena was not a fan at first. But alas, Lily did not give up!). No matter how long it has been since they last saw each other, when they meet up, it's like no time passed at all.

CiCi is Makena's older sister and closest sibling. Growing up, they always stuck together. When they get together, laughing fits always ensue.

Madi and Makena met in high school and were quick friends. Though quick friends, their friendship is for a lifetime. When together, they're a force to be reckoned with, bringing a fine sprinkle of chaos everywhere they went (if you couldn't tell from the picture).

Aaron and Reid met during their freshmen football at Lewis & Clark. They were quick to become friends, and were practically inseparable during their 4 years at L&C. Aaron and Reid roomed together from sophomore year on, and even during breaks during school, would visit each other in Portland or LA.

Aidan is Aaron's little (he is actually an inch taller than Aaron) brother, being 3 years younger. Aidan and Aaron were close siblings growing up in Cedar Mill and have gotten closer again since Aidan was in undergrad at University of Arizona. Whenever Aidan and Aaron are together, you can expect many comments such as "Do you play basketball?" or "You must be good at sports".

Aaron and Zian also met during the freshmen football season at L&C. During freshmen and sophomore year during the COVID pandemic, Aaron and Zian got closer, hanging out when they were (supposed to be) locked down. They were always known to party together, drinking and having a good time wherever they went.
