Our Wedding

Kelsey and Nathan met at Bradford High School through mutual friends. Kelsey was immediately smitten and Nathan was eventually worn down into realizing how cool Kelsey really was. They started dating in the summer of 2013, right before Nathan left to go to University of Minnesota. While Kelsey stayed local and went to UW-Parkside. Despite all the ups and downs of long distance, they made it through the long four years with the help of Greyhound buses and an unlimited texting plan. They moved into their first apartment together in 2020. After a year in lockdown, they decided to add on their one and only baby, Winter. Together they enjoyed walking the RiverWalk, trying every brewery within walking distance and going to every festival Milwaukee had to offer. After a few years, they said bye to Milwaukee and traveled four hours north to Eau Claire. There they were able to find new places to explore and were able to reconnect with old friends in Minneapolis. A lot of people asked when they would finally get married and they never really had an answer. Eventually seemed like a good enough answer. But on February 14th, 2024 at the Chichen Itza pyramids, Nathan asked Kelsey if she will keep having a lifetime of adventures with him. And she said yes!

Our Story

Photos

Becca is Nathan’s cousin and one of our favorite people to be around. She is someone who people naturally gravitate towards because she is so easy to talk to and easy to get along with. She is someone who we are happy to not only be able to call family but a friend. And we are so excited to have her as a part of our ceremony in such a big way.

Maddy is my little sister, but she’s also my best friend. She is outgoing and one of the most thoughtful people I know. She’s also the one person who I can go to and I know there will be no judgement. Having her by my side on such a special day truly means everything to me.

Maddy Mendoza

I was able to get to know Jenna later in life when she started dating Nathan’s brother Tony. She is so fun and down to earth. You don't get to pick your sister-in-law but I would not change one thing about her. I am so grateful that she is going to be in my life. And so grateful for my wonderful nieces that she is raising to be amazing women. 

Jenna Ayala

Tony is my brother and has naturally been by my side for almost my entire life (and his entire life). He's been there for me through every chapter, offering support, honesty, and a lot of laughter. Family is the most important thing you have, and Tony embodies that better than anyone I know. I am honored to have him by my side at my wedding. 

Tony Caputa

Collin is one of my best friends and has been by my side for some of the most memorable moments of my life. He's the most outgoing person I know and pushes me to be better, whether I ask for it or not. Even when life has put a ton of miles between us, we always pick up right where we left off. I am grateful to have him standing with me at my wedding.
