Our Wedding

<p>To put a start to our story sounds easy but isn’t. The reality of it is our journey began on Bumbl (not a paid brand deal lol). We’d like to say it was as simple as that. Our journey took us through more than that, first it was sneaking into the local resort followed by going to fair the first time which we’ve now made an annual trip. Roller skating to nightly drives and just talking getting to the depths of each other. Our ice breaker was, “ Do you know who Smino is”. We began going on monthly dates to a nice restaurant every 4th to commemorate when I first asked her to be my girlfriend. We took a trip to California where she met most of my family along with going to 6 flags for the first time together. It was our first roadtrip together. We started going to local hockey games, which then led to her new found love of the Green Bay Packers which we attended a game together sitting pretty much front row thanks to her purchase. We found a love for supercross and know almost religiously watch it every Saturday after going to a race together. The list goes on and on of adventures we experienced together! The biggest one was our trip to Colorado. We were nonstop finding thing to try after thing to try. NHL game, red rock amphitheater, f1 racing simulators, escape rooms, art museums, etc which led us to the Denver botanical gardens the place I hold forever as where we became engaged! We now plan to continue our story together with the help of everyone around us to grow our love endlessly.</p>

Annabelle is the kind of friend you can count on for a lifetime. She has a radiant soul that brings light to everyone she meets, and I feel truly lucky just to know her. I love her dearly and couldn't imagine anyone else standing by my side as my bridesmaid.

Nicolas has been Samantha's best friend for going on 5 years . He’s the kind of steady, easygoing presence who keeps everyone laughing and calmly handles any last‑minute chaos. He’s celebrated so many milestones with her. As Bridesman, he’s honored to stand by Samantha’s side and help make the day relaxed, joyful, and full of meaning.

One could say it all started with this guy right here. First it was in Apple Valley where they would meet. I was just starting my sophomore year at a new school and he truly was the first person to talk to me. He really helped me come into my own there. From music to sports to style it felt like we had everything in common, we're not going to mention the time we bought the same shoes or even that it happened twice. After it was all said and down i was able to convince him to move to AZ. Seeing him now create his own life out here is extraordinary. This guy really has been with me through so much I'm more surprised he hasn't ran to the hills from me. I love him just like a brother and that'll never change.

Man oh man how we became friends I have no clue. Just a random Sunday going out to play football, new season, same team or so I thought. All i knew is this dude just took a pick 6 from one endzone to the other, not gonna lie i thought i was cooked. Before I knew it we started chatting one time after a practice before going to phoenix for a tournament which lasted for an hour or two. That led to carpooling to a game one time where i think he left his keys in the truck on purpose cause when he came buy to pick then up he didn't leave till 2am. That quickly escalated to him coming over every weekend to play boardgames where we both kept buying new games before every weekend. I couldn't be more thankful for a guy like him to come into my life when he did.

Riley is one of my best friends, we've been through everything together. Even when we don't talk we're still super close at heart. She helped me get through some of the hardest parts of my life. We basically explored all of Tucson one summer. Now were going through some of the biggest changes in our lives. Im getting married and gonna be an auntie.  I love her so much and I'm glad to have someone so pure in my life. 

Riley McClain

Gawllyyy where do we even start with you. Its more surprising that we havent acquired a record than it is that Im getting married. From the first time I showed up at your door something clicked and for the next 10 years there wasnt anything we didnt attempt to do. Scooters, dirtbikes, bmx bikes, sports, the beach, all nighters, bonfires, we did it all. The absolute extravaganzas we went through, riding 7 miles to the mall just to get picked up once we made it, our double bike rides that always ended up with it breaking! I need to stop before I say something to incriminating. I am so glad that youre making it out to be apart of my wedding, I cant wait to be there for yours.
