Our Wedding

<p style="text-align: left;">11 years ago…First picture together!<br /></p>

Even though Brady and Sara were on opposite ends for a picture…their friendship was so sweet. From having a heart to heart on a bridge to sharing emotions at TEC…sparks were waiting to ignite.

Friends Then - Now Taking His Last Name!

Teens Encounter Christ is where the two met - this retreat occurs 4 times a year, all over southern Minnesota. Brady and Sara first met and worked together as high schoolers in 2014, from then on it’s been history. Since 2022, the two enjoy working these weekends as adults - gaining relationships with the youth and learning even more about what the power of God can do.

Have you ever seen so many cats on a Christmas card? These furry babes mean so much to Brady and Sara. Simon and Eleanor came with Sara when she moved to Rochester in 2021 but in 2022 they decided 4 was a good number. Mochi was adopted and a couple months go by then along came Sophie. It is never a dull moment; would strongly recommend adopting a cat or 3 if you haven’t already!

The Cats Have Taken Over

The past 5 years have been nothing but simple and now…a wedding! Brady and Sara cannot wait to celebrate their special day! Especially with such wonderful people. They are extremely lucky to have each and every one of you in their lives. You matter and play a huge part in this world!

Life is short; the world is wide…let’s make some memories! 

Our Story

Mazatlan & Years Gone By💛

this pretty lady and I met in vet tech school in 2015 and later worked together as CVTs in Willmar, MN. she is hands down one of the best moms and has 3 incredible daughters..I always say they are perfect..which is absolutely accurate. we will never stop quoting “Bridesmaids”. you are courageous of all the things you do! miss Wonder Woman or should I say….it is MA’AM.

MaKenzi

one of the most beautiful and kindest woman you’ll ever know. we met in 2015 in Willmar, MN and our bond has become as strong as my sourdough starter when it gets “fed”. shout out to you as well for gifting me the starter; her name is gerty. you impress me the way you get through and juggle life. I told Kailie she has to move to Rochester because our kids need to go to her daycare.

Kailie

my boo. she is always right there when I need to rant with a side of chips and queso. this gorgeous lady and I met in 2015 in vet tech school and later worked together in Morris, MN as CVTs. her husband and Brady are also so similar it’s uncanny. mamma mia will always be a staple in our hearts. kels also knows how to have a good time…too good sometimes. her french bulldog looks like scrappy-doo, please ask her to show you.

Kelsey

you are grace. this lovely and strong lady and i have known each  other forever. we met in 2000 and did dance class for 7 years. life has thrown so many things our way but you always seem so gracious no matter what. we traveled to Mexico, made too many tik toks…or maybe not enough together. she put me in a harness and we defied gravity. that was wild. a coach, dog mom, baker..so much more. you amaze me.

Jazzy

this adventurous man and I met in high school. he is truly one who will listen and be there for me when I need. is there a place you haven’t traveled to? speaking several languages and traveling the world are things I’ve admired. from kicking back on the lake in Rochester to gaming when you’re in town or international; we always pick up right where we left off. 

Nick

a kind man who wears his heart on his sleeve. from high school buds over 10 years ago to being a groomsman in your wedding. it was incredible standing by your side as you marry your dream woman. we game, we laugh, we are there for each other no matter what. a dedicated worker, you inspire me to make renovations to our house. you have accomplished so much over the years, never stop being you.

my man, my cousin. it’s been real growing up and experiencing the world, life and family get togethers. you are so genuine, your actions do not go unnoticed. you have a natural, creative eye, never stop your photography journey. have y’all seen the photos he took of our engagement in Mazatlan?! he will go the extra mile and more when help is needed. never stop doing what you do.

Mason

one of the most humble men you’ll ever know. I’ve seen it all, since birth. my brother. we’ve grown up and seen so many life stages, changes and events. I had the honor of being a groomsman, standing by your side while you marry your high school sweetheart. what a night, celebrating with all of our loved ones and friends, so sick. you have done so much good for this world and I only see that progressing. love you little bro.

just like your sister, we also met over 10 years ago through TEC. your importance of structuring your family has always been so prominent. you are a light of the world which makes your courageousness so bold. the way you love your nieces and nephew is inspiring. you have always been so patient with any curveball life throws you. I’m so thankful to gain another brother in my life.

my dude, my cousin. we’ve seen each other grow up and find our happiness in life. being a part of your wedding, seeing you marry your true love was such an experience. you thrive everyday to make life better. you speak with the power of God and we are thrilled to have you lead our ceremony. we wouldn’t want to have it any other way. the respect you show each day has led you to who you are today.
