There will be holiday mountain traffic so give yourself plenty of extra time to get to the church. We recommend checking your traffic app often as it is not uncommon for there to be significant delays. Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early as the ceremony will start promptly at 4:00.

Our Wedding

Sydnie and Vance met at Indiana University in December of 2018 through mutual friends. Even though the first night they met was relatively awkward, Sydnie agreed to a first date with Vance. Vance insisted that he was horrible at ice skating, but Sydnie thought he was being humble and planned their first date at an ice skating rink. Vance had to hold onto the rail the entire time and took a very dramatic fall. Although Vance was attending Wabash at the time, he still drove to see Sydnie at IU almost every weekend. In 2022, they both graduated from IU and Sydnie moved back home to Colorado while Vance stayed in Indiana. Although long distance wasn't ideal, they were able to see each other every month and their relationship was strengthened by the distance. In December of 2023, long distance was finally over when they moved to North Carolina so Sydnie could attend Elon University's DPT program.

Our Love Story

Vance and Sydnie got engaged on January 3rd, 2023 on Echo Lake in Colorado. The photoshoot had been planned since August as a four-year anniversary celebration. For months, Sydnie suspected Vance was going to propose during the photoshoot. Although Sydnie is known to be indecisive, she answered "yes!" with no hesitation. They popped champagne (which froze in the air because it was 15°) and celebrated that night with family.
