Kaden and I both graduated at Sam Barlow high school in 2009. We were never in the same social groups or shared many classes together. What brought us together was a quick message over Facebook. Kaden had another ticket to see Of Monsters and Men and I just so happened to be available. We met at the Crystal Ballroom 12/11/2019 and had a wonderful night from what I remember (hahah!) Kaden was running late and I was busy knocking a few Hammerhead IPAs down and playing Star Wars Pinball in the bar. Unfortunately, towards the end of our night and after lots of dancing and sing-alongs, I was too drunk, locked myself in the bathroom, and eventually got kicked out of the restaurant. Luckily my soon to be husband carted me home safely where I was yelling out drunkenly "he's too nice! I'm so stupid, he can't be so nice!" Luckily Kaden has a heart of gold and this did not deter him from checking on me or offering to go out on another date the next evening to make up for our spoiled, but fun evening the night before. This was the start to many more (memorable) events and adventures. I asked Kaden to be my honey the night I graduated from Concordia University where we celebrated at the firepits at McMenamins Edgefield. This is why we chose to get married at The Blackberry Hall in 2024. We have grown so much together as a couple. We survived the Covid outbreak together. We adopted a grumpy old cat we named Drax, while the universe granted us 2 more cats, Lt. Ro Laren and Mista Bo and more recently we got the bestest boy-Scout! Both of us have excelled in our careers. Kaden is now a seasoned Foreman with the Harver Company, while I am currently wrapping up my Administrator in Training program with Avamere Companies for Skilled Nursing. While planning for our wedding, we have also been searching for our first home to purchase. We have not decided on a location just yet, but we plan to remain in Oregon to start our family. "First comes marriage, then comes baby" as the little rhyme goes. Both of us are excited to join our two families together as one, and the true adventure awaits the newly weds, The Clunas's. We are looking forward to sharing our special day with you soon. Cheers! Rebecca and Kaden
