Our Wedding

Rochelle and Colby both grew up in Southern Oregon and first crossed paths in 2014 through mutual friends. Life took them in different directions, but in 2018 they reconnected and sparks flew the very first time they saw each other again. That same year, Colby moved to Portland for the Air Force, and in 2019, Rochelle joined him there to begin her nursing career and start their new chapter together. Over the next five years, they filled their lives with laughter, adventures, and countless memories. Then, Colby surprised Rochelle in the most beautiful way by getting down on one knee and asking her to marry him in the hills of Ashland.

Sarah has been Rochelle’s best friend since high school, but their story goes back even further. They first met in first grade, hung out a few times growing up, and became inseparable in high school as cheerleaders and having classes together. From driving around town after getting Dutch Bros in Rochelle’s busted Toyota to endless laughter about the silliest things, they’ve made countless memories over the years. Even now, living four hours apart, they still make time to see each other and pick up right where they left off.

Tenaya has been by Rochelle’s side through every season of life, so it’s only fitting she’ll be right there on the biggest day yet.

Rochelle is so thankful for a friendship as easy and strong as this one.
