Our Wedding

Like many 21st-century love stories, ours began online in 2019, when social media became the world's main meeting place. What started as casual phone calls and late-night messages quickly became something much more meaningful. For weeks, we bonded over shared interests, good jokes, and the rare comfort of someone who just gets you. Finally, we decided that it was time to meet in person, even though the world hadn't quite returned to normal, and we had our first date at a bonfire. That bonfire became a turning point in our story, marking the first of many days spent together, and our time behind screens finally felt like a real, human connection. At this time, we didn't know what the future would hold, but we were certain that we wanted to face it together. 	Fast forward 5 years, one very spoiled dog, and countless spur-of-the-moment adventures later, we're still laughing, talking for hours, and now getting ready to say forever! What began as two people finding light in uncertain times has grown into a love that feels like home, and we can't wait to celebrate with the people that we love.

Our People

"Although I first met Kylee in middle school, our friendship truly began to grow during our senior year of high school when we had AP Literature together. That class gave us countless memories. From stressing over timed essays and laughing until we cried. Since then, our friendship has continued to grow, and I can't imagine going through college without her."

Paige

"It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since Kylee and I first met. We were just starting sixth grade when she moved in next door, and that was the start of something special. My favorite memories with Kylee will always be the summers we spent growing up side by side. Since we lived in Aberdeen, also known as "the home of nothing to do," we had to get creative. That's how legendary games like Hobo Fairy Princess and Amish ft. Slim Jim (Cody) was born."

"Kylee is my older sister. She has been one of the best parts of my life. She's my built-in best friend and my role model. She's always been there to laugh with, fight with, and make memories that I'll never forget. No matter what, I'll always be grateful I got to grow up with her by my side and get to have a good big sister like her."

Paisley

"Kylee and I met sometime in 2020, shortly after I started dating her brother Cody. The more I hung around the house and spent time with the whole family, Kylee and I got to know each other a little bit more. Ever since I moved to Brookings and started going to SDSU last year, we've been able to hang out more and grow even closer."

I became friends with Spencer, like how every Gen Z baby makes their friends....by working at Walmart. From there, we became great friends and have made many everlasting memories, from countless hunts to the bushes of downtown Brookings!

Preston

"Spencer and I met during my freshman year at college. He was my first friend that I had in college, and I value that very much. He is one of my best friends, and although we have busy schedules that can keep us from hanging out, my friendship with Spencer means a lot to me. I will always have his back with anything and everything, except when he thinks he's better at fantasy football than me."

Briley

"Growing up with Kylee was like growing up with a gaurenteed best friend. We'd spend every day hanging out, and I remeber always being the test subject when we did something stupid or dangerous. These are the kind of memories that that make it so exciting to grow up, and see how we have grown. When she met Spencer, I got really used to him being around the house, as he seemed to fit in seamlessly with our family. He's always been a fun person to be around and I've loved the trips I've gone on with them. I'm excited for the next one we all get to go on!"
