Our Wedding

Linden Boulet and Sierra Esau's love story started back in high school when they were just 17. They both felt the sparks fly after walking the runway together at their high school fashion show. A fundraiser put on for the graduating class of that year. From then on, they've been inseparable. They tackled university together, and now they're proud homeowners with a cute pup in tow. In the summertime, they love hauling their camper to the mountains and hiking up as many trails as they can find. These memories are what made Jasper National Park the perfect place for Linden to propose to Sierra. Making all future trips to the mountains exceedingly special for the couple. As they gear up for their big day, surrounded by their closest friends and family, Linden and Sierra can't wait to keep adding chapters to their love story—one that's all about laughter, love, and embracing every moment together.

As Sierra embarks on this new chapter of her life, she is grateful to have Payton by her side.

Brooke and Sierra's friendship sparked when Brooke started dating Kallen, Linden's younger brother. From bonding over many manicures and their mutual love for their Yorkies, they have always felt more like sisters than sister-in-laws. Brooke's warm, outgoing personality shines a light in every room she enters. Sierra is beyond grateful to have Brooke standing by her side on her wedding day.

While Sierra and Brenna crossed paths in high school, it wasn't until college when their friendship blossomed. Brenna's quick-wit and animated storytelling makes her a friend to everyone she meets. When Linden asked Brenna to help him carryout his proposal plans, she did not hesitate. Highlighting her selfless nature that the couple have always admired about her. Sierra couldn't imagine saying "I do" with Brenna by her side.

Linden and Matt have been best friends since they were 5 years old. Their friendship was built on dirtbiking &amp; snowmobiling and as kids, the pair would often compete with each other on who could make the best engine noises in class. Now, years later, Matt is the best storyteller and hardest worker Linden knows. He is thrilled to have Matt by his side at the wedding, just like they sat side by side in Kindergarten.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Linden and Jayden have been best friends since they were kids, spending weekends at the lake together with their families. They drifted apart in their teens but reconnected in recent years through their love of snowmobiling. The pair now hit the mountains almost every winter weekend, often spending more time together than with their wives. His great sense of humor and carefree attitude makes Jayden the perfect choice as Linden's groomsman.

Linden and Devon have been great friends since elementary school. Devon's good-nature and friendly banter has made him a close companion for Linden over the years. From spending a Saturday helping Linden move a shed from a neighbor's yard, to offering to set up his company's photo booth at his wedding, and countless other adventures. Devon is the kind of friend, and now groomsman, everyone wishes they had.

Jeremy and Linden spent their childhood skateboarding, grabbing slushies, and strumming guitars together after school. As young boys, the pair has many fond memories together building jumps for their pedal bikes. To this day, you can still often hear them laughing about one particular memory of Jeremy's biggest faceplant off on of those jumps. Linden is excited to have Jeremy, his partner in fun and mischief, as a groomsman on his big day.
