Wedding Day

Farewell Dinner

Our Wedding

Our love story began like many others during the infamous pandemic... with a right swipe ( I think that's how you match on hinge, who remembers anymore lol). With Ryan working nights and Erin working crazy hours and weekends it took two whole months before we had our first date on a Thursday in mid September. Luckily Erin's cousins (shout out Justin and Mia) encouraged her/ pushed her not to bail on their first date as Erin was miserably hungover from celebrating the day before (if you know you know). Erin disappointed Ryan right off the bat by not bringing Roscoe as he was only a couple months old and did not have all of his shots yet. Luckily the first date went well and there was a second one (a whole month later) and Erin made up for it by bringing Roscoe along. Fast forward a couple months and a few deeper conversations later and Erin tried breaking things off with Ryan as he did not want to settle down within the next 7-10 years... (how's that going for you babe? hahah) All it took was one drunk text and Ryan showing up in an Elf onesie and the rest is history. Well until sweet Drauger boy came along right before Christmas 2020. Both Ryan and Erin agreed should the boys not get along then we would part ways. I'll let the photos show how that went... now the rest is history.

Elijah has been part of my life since I was about seven years old, he became my god father at some point a few years after we had met and has been one of the biggest and best influences I’ve had over the years. It’s an honor to have him officiating the most important day of my life.

From meeting overseas, to inviting me to work with him baby sitting polar bears and being a roommate in Alaska, Mike and I have been through quite a bit since we’ve known each other.

From Alaska to Texas and back to Alaska, Mark is great life long friend who happens to be holding my god dogs hostage.

Chris is one of my first cousins, so safe to say we’ve been through it all over the years. From racing / building / breaking bikes and cars, to hunting and exploring the hollers and woods, you name it and we’ve probably done it at one point or another.

Trenton is one of my best friends from school, and probably one of the people I’ve gone through the most with growing up. I’m going to leave it at that.
