Our Wedding

On a warm summer night, under a blanket of stars, fate had its own plans as we swiped through dating apps, hoping to find either a great date or maybe even true love. Lucky for us, we found both. Our first date was nothing short of magical. Kyle suggested meeting at the fountain on Coronado Island, a spot Tess initially wasn’t thrilled about—especially with the drive over the Coronado Bridge. Little did she know, she was about to be proven wrong. We headed to the Irish Pub nearby, sharing nachos and a beer while watching the baseball game. After dinner, we took a long walk on the beach, talking for hours. We discovered we share the same birthday, that Kyle is an Oakland A's fan while Tess loves the Dodgers, and so much more. As we neared the Hotel Del, fireworks lit up the sky—not just the ones we were feeling in our hearts, but actual fireworks! It felt like the universe was celebrating with us. To top it all off, we stumbled upon a screening of 'The Goonies' on a giant inflatable screen. We watched Chunk, Sloth, and the gang save the day, wrapping up what was truly the best first date ever. Since then, we've fallen more and more in love with each passing year. We've traveled to new places, moved twice, lived through a pandemic, started new careers, and celebrated major milestones together. Each step has strengthened our bond, and we've embarked on an incredible adventure that we know will last a lifetime.

Abigail isn’t just my only female cousin—she’s my ride or die and an irreplaceable part of my life. She’s been my rock through everything, bringing endless joy to my world. From beach days, BBQs, and late-night talks to makeovers, movie nights, family parties, and every Christmas spent together, our memories mean everything to me. As Kyle and I's former roommate, she knows us better than most. This helps her plan the best joint birthday parties out there while making Kyle and I both feel equally loved on our birthday!  She’s always been there, no matter what, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side as I marry my best friend.

Lex has been by my side since 3rd grade, and I couldn’t imagine anyone else as my Best Man. With his quick wit and sarcastic humor, he’s always kept me laughing. But beyond the jokes, Lex is incredibly smart—a puzzle-solving genius who’s always up for a challenge. We bonded over video games and middle school band, where he helped foster my love for heavy metal music.  

Lex is more than just a friend; he’s loyal, caring, and one of the best people I know. Watching him be an amazing husband and dad has only deepened my respect for him. From childhood adventures to lifelong memories, Lex has been there through it all, and I’m honored to have him by my side on my wedding day.

Lex Stout

I’ve been there for Evan since day one, blessed with the privilege and honor of being their big sister. From that moment, something clicked between us. Growing up, we had our fair share of sibling fights, but we never spoke badly about each other and always had each other’s backs. That loyalty has never wavered, and I know it never will. We keep each other in check and support each other with unconditional love. When Kyle and I started talking about getting married, I made sure he checked in with Evan first. They mean the world to me, and I couldn’t imagine tying the knot without them by my side!

Evan Murray

I met Nick in 5th grade, and even back then, his sense of humor could light up any room. He’s one of the most genuinely happy and spiritual people I know, always looking out for others with a deeply caring heart. We hung out in high school, but it wasn’t until after college that we truly became close.  

Nick’s loyalty and compassion have made a huge impact on my life, and I’ve always admired his dedication as a husband and dad. He’s the kind of friend who’s always there for you, no matter what. I’m grateful to have him by my side as a groomsman on my wedding day.

Nick Smith

Kristi is my buddy and always will be. From being my old coworker to becoming my trusted confidant, she’s always been there for me with unwavering support and understanding. Her adventurous spirit and spunky personality make every moment unforgettable, and her creativity adds a special touch to everything she does. She’s not only been my rock but also shares a special bond with Kyle, who’s lucky to call her a coworker and friend. Oh, and let’s not forget—she’s a potato enthusiast through and through! 

Kristi South

I met Logan in college, and we instantly bonded over our love for music—he’s my band buddy for life. We still laugh about his “grandpa voice,” a joke that never gets old. These days, we’re motorcycle buddies, cruising the open road and chatting about old cars whenever we get the chance.  

Logan’s not just brilliant—his engineer’s mind can solve anything—but he’s also one of the most loyal friends I’ve ever had. Through all of life’s twists and turns, he’s always been there. I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without him by my side as a groomsman.

Tess' Something Blue Crew: A Special Honor					Lauren, Angela, Sam, Midori, BrianaI’ve known my Girl Scouts since 5th grade, and they’ve been some of the most important people in my life ever since. From camping adventures and late-night card games to endless laughter and learning, we’ve grown together in ways I never could have imagined. We’re all unique individuals, but we’d be so much less without each other. These girls are my core humans, always reminding me of the timeless saying, “Make new friends but keep the old.” No matter where life takes us, I know our bond will last forever.
