Timeline

Bridal Party

Nadine and I met at the ripe age of seven, and saying we became friends fast was an UNDERSTATEMENT. To be quite honest, this moment is what we’ve been waiting for the whole fifteen years we’ve known each other, back in second grade where we both said we would be each others maid of honor. Here we are living the dream! We’ve been through the thick and the thin together, done things NO ONE else will ever know about, and created a bond that will never be broken. It’s amazing to look back on all we’ve been through and the stupid things we’ve done, like drool over Tobias Eaton from Divergent to planning this amazing moment. I had my moment, you were my maid of honor, now it’s my turn to return the favor. I love you beyond words and I’m so happy and honored to stand by your side for the happiest day of your life. Love you bunches forever and always.

I met Nadine in 2nd grade, and I’ll admit—I was immediately jealous of how insanely smart she was. But as the years went on, that jealousy turned into admiration, and we grew closer and closer. By middle school, we were inseparable, especially after forming our legendary friend group, ROYGBIV. Every lunch period was spent laughing until we cried, making memories I still hold close to this day. Saying goodbye to her and our friends at the end of 8th grade was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done—I cried so much at our graduation because I knew this was the moment that would either make or break our friendship. But Nadine is one of those rare people who gives 110% to the people she loves, and I was lucky enough to be one of them. She was one of the few who always reached out, always made the effort, and because of that, we never lost each other. And now here we are... YOUR WEDDING DAY!! I am beyond grateful to stand by your side on this special day. Nadine, I love you so so much, and I can’t wait to see what this next chapter of life has in store for you! Xoxo <3

Kate

Nadine and I have known each other for as long as I can remember. Our parents formed a close knit friend group in college, so our families have always stayed connected. 
The gatherings and trips we've gone on with our families together have always been memorable. Even though we don't see eachother frequently, Nadine has always been a rock -- kind, and nonjudgmental. No matter how much time passes between visits, reconnecting with her always feels effortless, like picking up right where we left off! I remember when she and Zack hadn’t been dating for long. She was so excited, telling me how wonderful he was and how much she looked forward to getting to know him better.
I'm so excited to see you two continue to grow together! 

Audrey

Nadine and I met while we were working as youth care counselors at Safe Place. I remember she was the main person I wanted to learn from because of her strong work ethic, skills in the field, and undeniable elite sense of humor. There have been multiple occasions where I cried at work, as Nadine knows, and one of those times was when she told me she was going to a new job. I was so sad to lose my work bestie and I told her that she couldn’t get rid of me that easily! She told me I couldn’t get rid of her either and honestly I think we got closer as time went on even though we weren’t coworkers anymore. We went from tea time in the office to tea time at Insomnia Coffee, and I’m looking forward to continuing tea time with her. I’m so beyond happy for both Nadine and Zack and honored to be a part of their journey!

Groom's Party

Zack and I met in 2018 on Xbox. We've become great friends throughout our time together, playing video games daily, talking nonstop on other social media platforms, sending funny memes and reels, and doing whatever entertains us. Our years of friendship have always been on Xbox. He didn't know who I was in person, nor did I know who he was in person. We've seen each other's photos on Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media, but not in person. So, one day, I traveled to him, and we finally met in person after 7 years of talking to each other on Xbox. It was amazing seeing this man and being friends with him. But he and I became more than just friends; we became brothers. I will be by this man's side no matter what happens down the path. I am proud of him and his fiancee for taking a big step in their relationship. And I am grateful to be the best man for him. I can't wait to celebrate this moment with you.

Zack and I met through Xbox, just like most of our friend group. We spent countless hours playing whatever games we could find, laughing, talking, and escaping from the stresses of everyday life. Over the years, those late-night sessions turned us into more than just gaming buddies—we became brothers. When we finally met in person for Ryan and Taylor’s wedding in West Virginia, the moment was surreal. As fate would have it, we ended up standing right next to each other while checking into our rooms. Completely oblivious, I didn’t even realize it was him until he called out to me. When I turned around, I was met with a towering figure—the same friend I had spent years talking to, now right in front of me. It was an unbelievable moment. The time we shared together, along with the rest of our group in Virginia, is something I’ll never forget. It was a reminder of how deep our friendships run, even when built through a screen. I hope we get the chance to do it all again, but for now, I couldn’t be happier to celebrate this new chapter in Zack’s life.

Victor

Zack and I didn’t meet in traditional way but we met through a hobby that we both enjoy. Playing video games, we had some amazing memories and stories that we played together. Within that we created a bond and trust that is unbreakable. Sometimes we do things in unison without even thinking about it. We have had times of great laughter that was endless to the point it made our stomachs hurt. Other times where we would cry together and it helped us grow our friendship and also led us to meet some of the amazing friends that we have today. Now we carry that friendship on through our lives and we have created a kind of brotherhood that I can only see growing from here.

Ryan

Zack and I met when we were both on the same baseball team, and it was during that time we developed a friendship. Zack and I both played Xbox together and we still do to this day. It was through Xbox where we met Ryan, Victor and Dom. I have very fond memories of the times where we used to sit on Zack’s roof at his house in Sherwood, and the time that Zack, his cousin and myself after a baseball game decided to play in the middle of the highway because we were bored. Zack will always be one of my brothers and a close friend for life.

Special Roles

Dave is Zack's uncle, and was very surprised when we asked him to officiate! He thought we were going to ask him for some more kitchen knives. 

David Lyman

Moscow is our baby and turns 2 years old on our wedding day! We walk him at Jenkins Estate, which is why we picked it as our venue.

Moscow

Caiden's momma is Sam, who we met at groomsman Ryan's wedding in 2023! Caiden is the first baby in the group, and we all became his lucky aunts and uncles from the moment we met.

Wedding Party

Welcome to our "registry"! 

Rather than an itemized registry, we decided to take notes from Up's Carl and Ellie and make an Adventure Fund instead! We want to have an adventure-filled Mini Moon ahead of our honeymoon in Ireland in 1-2 years.

Where are we headed?... 

TBD! 

We are currently brainstorming where we will spend a few amazing days together as newlyweds! Whether it's a mountain, lakeside, or ocean, we'll be sure to share photos from along the way.

How this works: 

We will book the hotel for our mini moon, and have budgeted spending money for experiences and food. Contribute what you can to help reimburse us for the booking costs, and to contribute to the adventures we are planning! Contributions can be made prior to the wedding using Nadine's Venmo account, or as check or cash mailed to our home (all payment information below!). We will also have an "Adventure Funds" jar at the wedding if you wish to contribute then!

Total Goal: $5,000

The Venue 

The outdoor reception and indoor dinner will be at Jenkins Estate, in Beaverton OR! Jenkins Estate is a public park with acres of walking trails (our nearly daily activity with Moscow!) and a historic house, and is the perfect place to experience Oregon's lush greenery.

Can I bring a plus one? 

Everyone listed in your RSVP group is invited! You will see this group when you RSVP, and can select who from your group is attending. Please do not bring additional guests, as our venue space can only accommodate the number of people we have planned for.

Why October 24th?

October 24th is Moscow's birthday; (20)24 is when we began living together, adopted Moscow, bought a house together, and got engaged; and #24 was Zack's basketball number in high school!

Food

We will provide Wingstop, Panera Mac and Cheese, and fruits and vegetables! Dessert will be mini cookies from Crumbl. Please note your dietary restrictions on the RSVP so we can plan for correct amounts of allergy-conscious food!

Travel

Explore Beaverton

Beaverton is our first and forever hometown together and has some amazing eats to check out! For breakfast go to Longbottom's Coffee, and for dinner and drinks head to our bar, Malone's! Handel's is a West Coast speciality and has the best ice cream and milkshakes, it is mandatory to try Red Robin's Campfire Sauce with their bottomless fries, and you can jump into the Oregonian lifestyle by grabbing a flavored energy drink or lemonade from Dutch Bros! (Nadine swears by the Stop Light Rebel)

Visit the Oregon Coast 

The Oregon Coast is our favorite spot! It's beautiful and rainy and freezing and windy and salty and magnificent. You should opt for sweatshirts and beanies rather than swimsuits for this one! Seaside is our personal favorite... It has a monument marking the end of the historic Oregon Trail, has mini golf, arcade games, and salt water taffy galore, and is where we got engaged! Seaside, Cannon Beach, and Manzanita are all about 2 hours west of Beaverton.

Visit Mt. Hood

Come explore the mountain you'll be able to see from anywhere in the Portland area! Visit the resorts of Meadows for a historic lodge and ski trails, Ski Bowl for intertubing, or head to Trillium Lake for the most Oregon-esque views! Located 2-3 hours east of Portland.

Visit Portland

Explore everything that Portland has to offer, including the Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, and excursions on the Willamette River. Find the craziest bars and the most thrift stores you've ever seen in a 2 block radius, and indulge in some famous Oregon salmon and Portland Hops! celebrate Rose City by catching a Thorns or Timbers soccer game on Saturday if you can get tickets!
