Celebration TBD

Our journey began in fall of 2011 as friends & college freshman at SOU in Ashland, OR. Little did we know we would begin dating 4 years later & get married another 5 after that! In 2015 we found ourselves both living in Portland & rekindled our friendship which quickly turned to dating. After only a couple short months together we packed our bags & hit the road to Waukesha, WI. Larsen hitch-hiking & Chelsea following on the train. We lived there for almost a year & then traveled all around the country & Canada having a blast! In fall 2016 we settled back in Portland & began building our future & roots in the city we both love. We got pets, built a business, bought a home, made new friends, lost old ones, found our green thumbs & experienced it all side by side. By fall 2019 we knew for a fact the type of love & companionship we had for each other was something special & took the next leap - ENGAGEMENT! Larsen proposed on a trip back to Waukesha in front of the first home we shared together a place very dear to our hearts. We started planning our big wedding for fall of 2020 & BOOM a global pandemic hit! After months of trying to figure out what to do - postpone? follow through? make a new plan? We realized what mattered to us the most was continuing our life plans even if they looked a little different than we had originally planned. We let our wedding party know they were relieved of their duties and we would just be having a small courthouse wedding & instead they surprised us with an impromptu friends celebration in Lents Park right by our house! On September 3rd, 2020 we went to the courthouse with our immediate family & officially tied the knot! Update as of 7/6/21 - The time has finally come! Our 1st year wedding anniversary party is officially on the books for this upcoming 9/4/21! We can't wait to celebrate with you!!
