Gage's Bachelor Party

Our Wedding

Gage and Shelby met through mutual friends in college in August of 2017. They bonded quickly over a shared love of music. For two years they were friendly when they saw each other on campus and bumped into each other at parties. After graduation, they began spending more time together as most of their friends had already moved back home for the summer. It didn't take long for them to realize they were interested in more. Gage and Shelby began officially dating in July of 2019. During their early relationship, the pandemic hit and the world turned upside down. In the years following, they supported each other through multiple losses, moves, and job changes. Shelby began working for a service center dedicated to supporting people with developmental disorders and has quickly earned promotion after promotion. Gage decided to return to school and become a Firefighter and an EMT. Knowing they could depend on each other in their rapidly changing lives brought great comfort. In August 2023, Gage popped the question on a weekend trip to Fort Bragg. During a railbike trip on the Skunk Train, Gage pulled Shelby aside. There were a lot of happy tears - and immediate panic about how they were ever going to plan a wedding. The crying terrified the Skunk Train staff. They were quite relieved to learn everything was okay and sent the newly engaged couple to the train car for a celebratory drink. On the ride back, the motor on their shared railbike died and Gage and Shelby had to pedal twice as hard. They slowed down the entire group. Now, in March 2025, they are officially tying the knot! 5 years of dating down, a lifetime together to go.

Share The Love

We have been blessed with so many wonderful friends throughout our relationship who have supported us as we've grown. We want to say thank you to each and every one of our loved ones. You've helped make us into the people we are, and have been part of so many special memories. Without you, we'd be lost! We so appreciate you putting your lives on pause to be part of our big day. We keep joking that we only had a wedding as an excuse to get to spend more time with our friends. Getting to have you all together in one place has been the biggest gift of all.

My bestfriend from birth. Having a sister has been one of the best parts of my life and I'm so happy that we're still so close as adults. I knew this Virgo was the perfect person as my right hand for such an important moment. 

Sarah

Sydnee is such a fun-loving and kind person who has been  deeply supportive of Gage and me. Sydnee "tricked" me into getting a manicure for my proposal, and did 90% of the planning for my bachelorette. Thankful to have a friend like her. 

Sydnee

Hannah is someone who has always made me laugh. She has kindly listened to my whining over the last 4 years, pushed us to go out out and try new things (like Trivia, even though we placed 9th), and definitely made Gage laugh until he cried. Hannah is a warm person who will help you talk through anything. (Like planning the largest event of your life) 

Hannah

Cheyenne and I have been attached at the hip since we were sophomores in high school. We've been next to each other through many concerts (on stage, playing flute very mediocrely) 
Even in adulthood she's someone I trust so wholeheartedly to help me . It's been so great getting to have her in my life. 

Cheyenne

I had the honor of being Eli's bridesmaid in October 2024. The love she and her partner share has always inspired Gage and me. Eli's compassion, wicked sense of humor, and willingness to be herself are all things I have greatly admired. We shared in the wedding planning woes and have celebrated each other's victories. Glad to have her on our "team". 

Megan and I lived together in college, for 3 out of 4 years.  Hard to believe we met almost 10 years ago! We grew up together from adolescence into adulthood. Even when life was messy she cheered me on. She's always inspired me to dream bigger and never settle. Everyone needs a Megan in their life. 

Megan

Dereck and Gage have been friends since middle school and in respect, appreciation, and maturity, nothing has changed. Dereck is Gage's brother through thick and thin. He is one of the funniest guys around with an incredibly infectious laugh, and he remains one of the greatest men that Gage has ever known.

Dereck

Meeting in 2015 and became practically inseparable since Connor and Gage are a loud but supportive duo. He and Gage have had a decade of friendship under their belts and when it came time to decide who would be in the bridal party, the answer was clear. Connor is supportive, lively, and a great help for organizing people, perfect for the best man position.

Connor

Gage's favorite big sister (also the only one). Separated by distance, united by their love of family and sarcastic comments. Veronica was an obvious choice for the groomsmen's party. Veronica's sharp wit and fierce love dedicated to the lucky few are just two of the reasons we are thrilled to have her. 

Veronica

Gage and Malique have come a long way from becoming friends in 7th grade PE. Their friendship spans years, cities, and state lines, but never wavered. They are the friends that merely pick up where they leave off. Malique's energy enhances any room he is in, a conductor to everyone's hype train. 

Malique

Kristin is one of Gage's oldest and best of friends. Both are theater kids, Both are as dramatic as you would expect. Gage had the honor of being one of Kristin's bridesmaids, and now, years later, he has the honor for her to be one of his groomsmen. 

Kristin

Christine and Gage met in the dorms in 2015 and have remained the best of friends ever since. Never a dull moment between the two, if they are together chaos is soon to follow. Chris leaves Gage heaving with laughter and is always looking forward to the next time they can out weird one another. 

Chris

Strangers, then friends, then brothers. From dorm rooms, frat parties, DND nights, and road trips. Gage and Joseph are brothers in more ways than just fraternity and always come through for one another, now Joseph comes through for his brother again being his groomsman.

Joseph

Justin has been great friends with both Gage and Shelby for over 5 years. First Justin and Gage became friends by chance after meeting while walking home one night, then introducing Shelby a little while later.  Despite now being separated by 500 miles, they still remain to be good friends. While Justin was a candidate for the bridesmaid party, Gage got to keep him on his side of the aisle. 

Justin

We couldn't think of a better person to oversee our union than the person who has been there for Gage from literally Day 1.  Sabrina is the obvious choice and the bride and groom are so thankful that Sabrina was willing to take up the responsibility of marrying the two. 

Sabrina
