Our Wedding

We met at a classy little place known for its gourmet cocktails, elegant ambiance, and fine dining. Just kidding—it was a local dive bar, the kind with sticky floors, neon signs, and questionable karaoke. But hey, love shows up in unexpected places (usually somewhere between the jukebox and the pool table). Our timeline hasn’t exactly been a straight line. There were a few breaks, some space, and maybe one or two “What are we even doing?” moments. But somehow, we kept finding our way back to each other—like a boomerang… or a bad habit we just couldn’t quit. Eventually, we realized we weren’t just better together—we were kind of great. And now, after all the detours, we’re finally doing the damn thing. Come celebrate the long road, the dive bar destiny, and the fact that we still actually like each other. ❤️

Our Story

Photos

Krista isn’t just my little sister—she’s my built-in best friend, lifelong partner-in-crime, and the only person who truly knows how weird I’ve always been (and still agreed to stand next to me in public).

She’s been by my side since day one—through every major life moment, every dramatic outfit change, every inside joke only siblings understand. She’s smart, hilarious, brutally honest (sometimes too honest).

There’s no one else I’d trust to fluff my dress, hand me tissues, and threaten anyone who tries to interrupt the cake cutting. I couldn’t imagine this day without her—not just because she’s my sister, but because she’s my heart.

Rahbecka and I go way back—like 6th grade gym class, passing notes in class, making up dances to 2000s pop songs kind of way back.

We’ve been friends for over 20 years, which means she’s seen every awkward phase, every bad haircut, every questionable life choice—and somehow she still showed up for the wedding (now that’s love).

She’s been my ride-or-die through growing up, glowing up, and everything in between. I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side—because honestly, she’s been by my side for pretty much everything else.

Melissa and I didn’t meet in kindergarten or share childhood secrets—but once we did become friends, it was like, “Oh, there you are.”

Since then, she’s been the friend who always shows up—with a bottle of wine, a brutally honest opinion, and the kind of advice that’s both comforting and slightly unhinged (in the best way).

We may not have traded friendship bracelets as kids, but we’ve shared everything else—laughs, tears, memes at 2 a.m., and way too many “we’ll just have one drink” nights.

Basically, she’s one of the best people I know, and I couldn’t imagine this day—or my life—without her in it.

Meet our ring bearer, River—7 years old, Titanic enthusiast, and proud owner of a mullet that could win awards.

When he’s not re-enacting scenes from his favorite historical disaster, he’s charming everyone with his sweet heart, big imagination, and some seriously iconic hair.

He might be small, but he’s taking his big job seriously—just as long as it doesn’t interfere with snack time or an impromptu Titanic trivia session.
