Our Wedding

We met at work right after I switched from night shift to day shift in 2024. John was clearly interested in getting to know me better and I can't lie, I was just as curious about him. After about 3 days of working together he finally asked me for my number and Discord name; luckily for me he thought my Discord name was adorable and not dumb (GiraffeFaceMcGee). We've been practically inseparable ever since! John fell in love not just with me, but with my daughter, Nora, as well. He's been an amazing step father to her and she just adores him and his whole family!! Her being so open to the different family dynamic definitely helped pave the way for us to truly fall in love with each other. Shortly after starting to date, we discovered that we had our own little bundle of joy on the way. Though we were scared, we vowed at that moment to do whatever it took to be the best parents for both of our kids. Once Percy joined our family and we were deep in the newborn trenches it became obvious that we could make it through anything. On September 16th of 2025 John spoiled me with a date to see the newest installment of the Conjuring films (some of my favorite horror movies) and dinner. We got home and I was telling him how I had a great day and I was so lucky to have him. I hosed down our double stroller, and then walked into the garage where when I turned to look at him, he had gotten to one knee and said "Let's make it the best day then." I cried and forgot to say yes (Sorry babe) while I excitedly grabbed my ring from him and then wrapped him in a hug. From Dungeons and Dragons, to video games and movies, I am so excited to have found my best friend and who my heart craves. I can't wait to officially join our families together by marrying the kindest, most genuine man I have ever met!! Hope to celebrate with you all at our wedding!!! With love, The Soon to be Mrs. Weisensel!!

Two nerds becoming one family!

Our Story

Photos

We chose a Mix of friends and family to stand with us on our big day. It was a hard decision to make for sure, but one we are so happy with now that we've gotten everyone together a few times to get to know eachother more. 
Our crew is kind, gentle, crazy, loud and of course supportive. None of this would be possible without our gents and ladies standing beside us during the planning, set up, and of course saying of our vows. We love each and every one of them like family and are so happy they all said yes!!!

Our daughter! She's so excited to be a princess for our big day and dance the night away with all her favorite people!

Nora Michaela Mislivecek 

Our little man! Percy is indifferent to this whole thing as he'll be just over a year old, but with his naturally bubbly personality, he will do a fantastic job!!

Percival Orion Weisensel

We met Dakota while working at the grocery store, and although there's an almost 10 year age gap, she quickly became one of Sammi's most trusted friends! She's watched Sammi go from "I'll never get married!" to screaming excitedly about the engagement and every little moment in between!

Dakota Coppernoll

As part of John's family and also our mutual best friend, it was an obvious choice to ask Tanner to be our best man. His goofy sense of humor, compassionate heart, and willingness to tell us when we are being ridiculous are some of our favorite traits of his.

Tanner Say

Older sister, original best friend, and first ever punching bag for Sammi. Alex is hugely important in our lives and we are lucky to be able to have her with us on this special day! 

Alexandra Nelson

Manny has been one of our funniest friends since we met him. From getting a little too drunk the first time we hung out, to celebrating our little man at our baby shower he's always been supportive! Goofy and also down to earth he's sure to bring some level of chaos to our party that we couldn't go without!

Manny Galarza

Loud and proud is the best way to describe Skeeter. She quickly became one of Sammi's closest friends with her honesty and fearlessness. We're sure she'll bring an element of both chaos and order to the day that we couldn't do ourselves.

Skeeter

Fellow Dungeons and Dragons player and overall just cool dude. We met Zach through work and he's been a staple in all of our hangouts since. He and his wife Skeeter are some of the most fun people we know and we are so excited to have them around to spice up the day for us!

Zach

Sammi's cousin, Nora's God Mother, and mother to Nora's favorite little cousins! Brooke has been so helpful with everything from childcare and parenting advice, to just general hang outs to get Sammi out and about once in a while. Her kind heart and gentle soul make her a perfect addition to round out the group of crazy and kind girls we've chosen for our wedding.

Brooke Rimmert

John's older cousin, one of the kids' favorite uncles, and of course one of the funniest family members Sammi has met on John's side. We love Tony and appreciate all the love and support him and his family have shown us as our relationship has blossomed into what it is now. His goofy personality and naturally loving nature made him a perfect addition to our boys! So grateful to have him in our wedding party!

Tony Bovee

One of the first members of John's family that Sammi met and got to know, Chris quickly became one of her favorites. His caring nature and ability to make even the most mundane of conversations feel interesting is why We asked him to officiate our wedding. 

Chris Thomas

Mya&nbsp;and&nbsp;Sammi&nbsp;have&nbsp;been&nbsp;working&nbsp;to&nbsp;build&nbsp;their&nbsp;friendship&nbsp;over&nbsp;the&nbsp;past&nbsp;year&nbsp;and&nbsp;it&nbsp;has&nbsp;blossomed&nbsp;into&nbsp;something&nbsp;both&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;and&nbsp;exciting.&nbsp;The&nbsp;girls&nbsp;are&nbsp;similar&nbsp;enough&nbsp;to&nbsp;feed&nbsp;off&nbsp;eachothers&nbsp;energy&nbsp;and&nbsp;hype&nbsp;one&nbsp;another&nbsp;up&nbsp;even&nbsp;when&nbsp;they&nbsp;themselves&nbsp;feel&nbsp;uncomfortable&nbsp;or&nbsp;self&nbsp;conscious.&nbsp;It's&nbsp;this&nbsp;dynamic&nbsp;that&nbsp;caused&nbsp;Sammi&nbsp;to&nbsp;decide&nbsp;to&nbsp;ask&nbsp;Mya&nbsp;to&nbsp;join&nbsp;the&nbsp;Bride&nbsp;Tribe&nbsp;to&nbsp;help&nbsp;make&nbsp;the&nbsp;day&nbsp;special&nbsp;and&nbsp;full&nbsp;of&nbsp;fun!

Mya McCord-Hamilton

A&nbsp;childhood&nbsp;friend&nbsp;of&nbsp;John's&nbsp;with&nbsp;an&nbsp;amazing&nbsp;artistic&nbsp;skill&nbsp;and&nbsp;fun&nbsp;personality.&nbsp;His&nbsp;humor&nbsp;and&nbsp;outgoing&nbsp;energy&nbsp;that&nbsp;allowed&nbsp;Sammi&nbsp;to&nbsp;feel&nbsp;comfortable&nbsp;enough&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;herself&nbsp;the&nbsp;first&nbsp;time&nbsp;she&nbsp;met&nbsp;John's&nbsp;friends&nbsp;and&nbsp;family,&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;the&nbsp;perfect&nbsp;addition&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;groomsmen.&nbsp;Can't&nbsp;wait&nbsp;to&nbsp;see&nbsp;his&nbsp;energy&nbsp;in&nbsp;action&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;wedding!

&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; A few people have asked about our plans for a honeymoon, and our answer has been different everytime we respond. John and I have finally landed on one answer!
&#160;&#160;&#160; We are skipping the honeymoon to save money to put towards a home of our own! We decided that it is more important to us to have a forever home to raise our kids and pets in than to go on a trip at this time. 
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; We are hoping to eventually go on a late honeymoon of sorts, but for now our focus lies with growing as a family and providing the best possible life for us and the kids! 
&#160;&#160;&#160; As with everything we do, we don't expect any help, but will also not turn away any advice or gifts! If you want to contribute towards our goals please feel free to reach out or send money via cash or the QR code to Sammi's CashApp below! 
&#160;&#160;&#160; We are beyond excited for this next page in our story and are so grateful for all the love and support you have shown us and our family! Cant wait to celebrate with you all and update you once we figure out our home situation!! 
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Love you!! &#10084;&#65039;
