Reception

After Party

I first met the Brusselback family sometime in 2004 when I joined an All Star cheer team at Black Hills Gymnastics. I mostly got to know Sarah because we were on the cheer team together, but his family had been well integrated into the gym for many years. Tim was there as we practiced every so often, and a couple of my teammates actually had crushes on him. We never spoke really, but I remembered him being around.Fast forward to 2011, we are both attending Washington State University. As most know, Pullman is a small town. Campus is even smaller. At the time, I worked at Pita Pit. One regular day, I'm just doing my thing, working away and then Tim walks in. I didn't recognize him at first but it took no time to realize how cute he was. I get a little social anxiety sometimes so of course my heart starts to race, I can't look him in the eye, like I don't know how to behave around the opposite sex suddenly. I finish up making his food and go to hand it to him and then he gives me a wink. This simple wink gave me heart palpitations and I had to catch my breath. Who does he think he is? Actually- Who is he??Not long after, my girl Lindsay and I decide we are going out to Taco Tuesday. This place sold mini pitchers filled with whatever mixed drink you wanted for something like $8. So we proceed to drink. At this point, Tim and a few of his friends came to the back of the bar and now that I had some liquid courage, I could go confront him about the wink and introduce myself. We were both unavailble at the time but it was nice to know that he was from Olympia too!We go on with our normal lives. Tim checks in with me on Facebook every so often and then about year or so later we both became available. I had actually purchased tickets to a paint rave called Life in Color and didn't have anyone to go with. I was encouraged to ask Tim, even though I was afraid to, I did it. "Hey, are you free on May 19th?" he responds saying that's his birthday and I instantly think he obviously has plans and won't be able to go. But I was wrong. Tim said he had no plans and so I told him what I had in mind and he happily agreed. That night was a little awkward at first but the chemistry was undeniable as the night progressed. That night changed everything. We were inseparable after that. Except for the fact that I still had one semester left at WSU and he was no longer attending. We made it through easily, we realized early on how similar we are and it was, for the most part, a piece of cake. Four months in to our relationship, Tim asks me if I want to move to California after I graduate. I had always wanted to live in CA and really had no desire to move back to Seattle so I jumped on the opportunity. I graduated in on December 8th 2012, we move in with his parents for about a month while we coordinated the move and made sure we could actually live together. *Spoiler- it worked really well and we made the trek down with my dog, a Uhaul and big dreams. Risk and reward, you know? But it was never a risk, I had never been more sure about anything before.Here we are now, 4+ years later, still so in love and beyond excited to share this day with our friends and family. There will be laughter, good food, probably a couple happy tears, lots of dancing and plenty of memories to cherish for the rest of our lives.

Our Little Love Story

Tim surprised me with a well thought out plan of a puppy proposal on Thanksgiving day 2015, the day before my birthday. He gathered our family and somehow managed to keep this puppy a secret from me for weeks. It was the best day of my life and the most perfect proposal I could have ever dreamed up.

Janessa is my ride or die, my bestie boo, and one of my most favorite people in the world. We met in high school for cheer and loved each other from the get go. She and I bonded on multiple levels and at one point, she invited me to live with her for a couple moths while I was going through a big life change. She's extremely responsible, hilarious, a shoulder to lean on, a perfect partner to go for a midnight cruise after a long day, and without a doubt the one person I need by my side on such an important day.

My sweet sister was born when I was 16 and that day a lifelong dream had been fulfilled.I finally had a sister. After being around my step brothers and brothers my whole life, I finally have a sissy to do girly stuff with. I am lucky enough that we remain close despite our age difference and our physical distance from one another. She deserves to experience this wedding day like a princess where we can dress up together, do our makeup and take lots and lots of fun pictures. I cannot wait to share this special time together.

Ahh my Illary. The strongest, yet gentlest human I've ever encountered. She has always been my girl crush, my big sister, my confidante. She and I aren't just friends, we are sisters and I wouldn't have it any other way. I cherish Hillary's advice, support, dirty jokes, positive outlook and overall just the amazing person she is despite the challenges she has been faced with in life. And because she's my sister, of course I need her by my side.

I cannot describe how impactful Katlyn's friendship is to me. She is someone I've always looked up to and consistently feel blessed to share this life with her. She's calm, but fierce, she's particularly herself, she has the biggest, most thoughtful heart you'll come across. Not to mention- she will laugh with you and sneak in jokes you wouldn't expect from her. My wedding party wouldn't be complete without my Katlyn &lt;3

Ajia is hands down my Hippie Soulmate. She and I connected instantly when Tim brought me around his friends and I've held her close ever since. We speak to each other on a consistent, daily basis and understand each others minds so well. Her soul shines so bright that it is impossible not to love her. She fights a daily battle and is forever one of my heroes for facing daily life with a smile and positive attitude. I love her forever.

Lindsay was easily the one person who got me through some of the hardest days but most importantly, she has experienced some of my greatest days along side me as well. I met Lindsay at WSU but ironically, we were both from Olympia. We bonded quickly, got ourselves into quite a few shenanigans during college and had a blast doing it. She is the best partner in crime, wifey and comedian I've had the pleasure knowing and she absolutely needs to be by  my side.

Julia is the ultimate woman in my eyes. She is ambitious, driven and not willing to let anything get in the way of her dreams. I have always felt welcomed from day one into the Brusselback clan and my love and admiration for Julia continues to grow year after year. She is a sister to me even before Tim and I say "I do" and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Sarah and I go way back. Back to the Black Hills All Stars days over 12 years ago. She is hands down the funnest person I've ever known. Always down for a good time, hardworking and overall just a great person to be around. Sarah has always had a special place in my heart and I love that I fell in love with her brother so I can keep her and the rest of the clan forever.

Being able to witness  Charlotte grow and develop over the last few years has been such a pleasure. She's got talent running through her veins and her potential is greater than she probably realizes. She's welcomed me with with open arms, and is without a doubt a sister to me forever.
