Our Wedding

<p style="text-align: left;">We met in high school, but our journey together started after our first year of college. Despite being in different places, we started dating long distance and quickly realized what we had was special. Over the years, we have built a life that is anything but ordinary. Samantha travels the country working as a travel nurse, and Bradley works remotely as a nuclear materials engineer. Together with our pup, Bentley, we’ve turned life on the road into an unforgettable adventure. Whether we’re hiking through Ireland, relaxing in the Bahamas, or having a drink at a resort in Mexico, we share a love for discovering new places and creating memories along the way. Now, after 9 years of shared dreams, travels, and late night road trip playlists, we’re so excited to take this next step together!</p>

Our Story

Photos

Hannah is Samantha’s sister and best friend. Just two years apart in age, they've shared a lifetime of laughter, memories and a bond that only sisters can truly understand. From living in the same apartment complex (a time they now realize they took for granted) to traveling across the country just to visit, Hannah has always shown up, without question. Hannah is known for her caring and selfless nature. She always puts others first, and never hesitates to show up when it matters most. Hannah has always been Samantha's biggest supporter. She has been cheering her on through every stage of life. Hannah was even a cheerleader throughout Sam's high school games, but it is Samantha who proudly calls herself Hannah's biggest fan now. There was never a moment’s doubt that Hannah would stand beside her sister on this special day because she always has.

Chelsee is one of Bradley’s older sisters, and now, one of Samantha’s closest friends. From the very beginning, Chelsee welcomed Samantha into the family with open arms, and it didn’t take long for the two of them to bond over nursing, their love for traveling, and of course, Chelsee’s two adorable dogs, Hudson and Riggs. One of the most meaningful moments in their relationship was being a part of Chelsee and Trent’s wedding. Samantha can't wait to now have Chelsee by her side on this special day and is beyond excited to be a part of the family.

Chelsee MacAllister

Miquel is one of Bradley’s older sisters, and over time she’s also become one of Samantha’s favorite people. She and Samantha quickly bonded over their shared love for a good cocktail and Pilates. Bradley and Sam have countless memories with Miquel, especially from their days in Boulder, where many stories started in local bars and ended with a lot of laughter. Samantha is so lucky to have her standing by her side, as both a bridesmaid and a soon-to-be sister.

Miquel Henderson

Aubri is one of Samantha's closest friends. They met in middle school and have been friends ever since. Aubri has been there for Samantha. Through every phase and milestone, she has always been a constant source of love and support. Aubri and her husband Collin are great friends to both Samantha and Bradley. Samantha is so grateful to have her by her side on this special day just like always.

Samantha became friends with Hunter through her sister -Aubri! Hunter has always had a special place in Samantha’s heart. Her kindness and welcoming spirit have made her home a favorite gathering spot, especially for doggy playdates and Super Bowl parties. Whether they’re sharing laughs over drinking games or watching their pups run wild in the backyard, each memory with Hunter will always be treasured. Samantha is so excited and thankful to have her standing by her side on this special day.

Spencer and Bradley met as freshman dorm mates in college, and it didn’t take long before they became close friends. They went on to be housemates for the rest of college. They shared a home, countless memories, and more than a few questionable spring break decisions in Havasu and Cabo. From cheering on the Mariners and Trail Blazers to late night talks and louder than necessary playlists, Spencer has been a constant through it all. Now in med school, he somehow balances studying with finding time to hit the occasional rave. Bradley is proud to have him standing by his side, not just as his Best Man, but as a lifelong friend and brother.

Spencer Goering

Trent is Bradley’s brother-in-law, but more importantly, a great friend and adventure partner. Over the years, they’ve shared plenty of memorable moments, from rafting down rivers to discovering new breweries and endlessly talking about (but never actually starting) the long promised Lord of the Rings marathon that Bradley’s sister keeps saying she’ll host. Whether it’s on the water or over a pint, Trent has been a steady, fun-loving presence in Bradley’s life, and Bradley is truly honored to have him as part of the wedding day.

Trent MacAllister

Bradley and Collin have been close friends since middle school and over the years, their bond has grown into something more like brotherhood. Collin works as a glazier in Henderson, NV, and when he's not working with glass, you'll probably find him with a fishing rod in hand or a cold beer. Bradley and Collin share a long history of garage hangouts, dart games, and doing their best to stay out of trouble (with mixed results). Bradley couldn't be more honored to have him by his side on the big day! 

Collin Fox

Dustin has been a lifelong friend, someone Bradley’s known for as long as he can remember. They grew up side by side, spending countless days bouncing between each other’s houses, getting into just the right amount of mischief. In recent years, their friendship has continued with beach days and bar hopping adventures in Charleston. Now living in North Carolina, Dustin enjoys life on the water, especially boating on the lake near his home. Bradley is grateful to have someone who’s been there since the beginning standing beside him on such an important day.

Dustin Edlund

Takoda was the first friend Bradley made in college, and from day one, they were inseparable study partners. Together, they survived the ups and downs of engineering school and even powered through their master’s degrees. They logged countless hours of homework, projects, and late night cramming sessions (usually at Bradley’s house). But it wasn’t all work. They made time for Boise State Bronco games, brewery runs, and more than a few late nights that started with “just one drink.” Now a fellow engineer, Takoda spends his free time disc golfing, skiing, and boating. Bradley’s grateful to have such a smart, steady, and all around great friend standing by his side on the big day.
