Our Wedding

<p>In November 2017, we were introduced through a mutual friend. After our first date, we went on with life as if we had known each other forever. Six years later, here we are - engaged and ready to spend forever with each other by our side. We have each truly found our best friends in one another and cannot wait to spend forever together.</p>

For months Taylor had been secretly planning a proposal with my best friend, Jessica. I had no idea. Taylor had been planning to take me to the cross at Jumonsville, and had wanted to do some pictures. Ill be honest, I complained for weeks about it. The day before we were planning to go, Jessica took me to lunch and to get my nails done. I didnt suspect anything because we had a weekend trip booked together. On June 22, 2023, Taylor and I walked up to the cross at Jumonville, where he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I honestly didn’t believe him I was so caught off guard. Once the shock wore off, of course I said yes! Looking back on everything, I couldnt believe I never once picked up on this surprise that was in the works for months.

Our First Christmas Engaged

Growing up, Chelsea and I had quite our differences, especially because she is 10 years older than me. Now, we are inseparable. Chelsea is my go to person for just about anything. She is always down for a trip to a coffee shop together, a shopping spree, or dinner. It was an easy decision to have Chelsea as my maid of honor.

Jessica and I have been best friends since middle school. To be honest, neither of us even remember how we became friends. Jessica and I are always up for a trip to TJ Maxx and dinner. Jessica has been through everything with me - from high school drama, to the stress of college, and secretly helping Taylor plan the perfect proposal. I couldn’t imagine a wedding without Jessica by my side as a bridesmaid. 

Jessica 

Hannah and I have been friends since elementary school when we ended up on the same softball team. Growing up we shared many vacations together and played a lot of softball. We have so many memories together, I couldn’t imagine her not being bridesmaid on our wedding day.

Baylee and I met in college during our first semester when we sat next to each other in Intro to National Security & Intelligence. A few weeks into the semester we realized we lived next to each other. Baylee basically lived in my room the second semester, and we have quite the memories from our time at Fairmont State. There was no way I wasn’t going to have Baylee next to me as a bridesmaid on our day.

Growing up as cousins, Hannah and I were never not scheming to plan sleepovers after dinners at our Nanny and Pappy’s house. Being only six months apart, we have always been more like sisters than cousins. It is only fitting that she’ll join me as a bridesmaid on my wedding day. 

Bryanna and I met in college. We were in the same major, involved in most of the same extracurricular activities, and sat together in all of the classes we shared. We have so many memories, I absolutely needed Bryanna as one of my bridesmaids.

Kev and I have been friends since high school where we met during football camp. When we are together, you normally can find us in the woods if it is hunting season. We have so many memories together, it was an easy decision to make Kev my best man. 

Manny and I met when we were freshman in college at Penn State Fayette. Manny, his girlfriend, Brittany, Liv, and I, have all gotten to be good friends. We enjoy grabbing a bite to eat and having game nights together. It is fitting that I have Manny next to me as a groomsman.

Growing up with Shane, I remember the hours and hours we spent together at my Grandparents' house in the summer. When we weren't together fishing, or getting into trouble somehow, we were playing video games. It is so important to me that I have Shane as a groomsmen on our wedding day. 

Shane

Brayden is Olivia’s cousin, although they have been more like brother and sister growing up. Brayden quickly became one of my friends when I started dating Olivia. It’s hard to not like someone who loves to hunt as much as I do. With all of us being so close, we both agreed we needed Brayden with us as a groomsmen on our day! 

Brayden

Jake is another one of Olivia’s cousins. We often joke that Brayden and Jake are a package deal. Jake and I actually met when we were young and attended the same elementary school. All of the cousins spend so much time together, we needed them all by our side for the wedding day! 

Jake

Cooper is the youngest of Olivia’s cousins and definitely the orneriest. We all enjoy spending time together and sharing hunting stories. We can’t wait to have Cooper with us as a groomsmen for our day!

Everleigh is the newest addition to our wedding party. Her mom and dad are Kev, the best man, and his girlfriend Cedra. How can we not include this cutie in our big day? We are so looking forward to including her and watching her grow!

Everleigh

Kaitlyn and I became friends in high school when we played on the same softball team. When we became friends, I had no idea that she would be the one to introduce Taylor and I. We couldn’t imagine not recognizing our matchmaker on our wedding day!
