Our Wedding

Walker and McKinley's story is a perfect example of the "invisible thread." Both attending Capital High School in Helena, Walker being a football player, and McKinley being on the cheer team, started their journey that would eventually lead them to each other. As both graduated, Walker in 2015 and McKinley in 2016, they continued their education and athletics at Montana State University. McKinley and Walker always had some sort of a pull to each other. Although there were couple hangouts in college, even a break in at a college party (story for another time), nothing lead to anything but they still found themselves consistently crossing each other's path. McKinley always said that she cheered for Walker while he played because he was another capital kid and Chayton (McKinley's brother) and Tiegan (Walker's brother) were currently playing football together at Capital. Years went on and McKinley and Walker would chat here and there but still nothing. Once they both graduated from MSU and moved back to Helena, Walker FINALLY asked McKinley on a real date and have been inseparable since. Walker and McKinley always had a feeling that it would be them in the end, and thank God for that invisible thread. McKinley and Walker have endured more life in the last four years than a lot of couples have in a lifetime, but it has only brought them closer together, closer to God and even more and more in love everyday.

“An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, and circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle. But it will never break.”
