The wedding of

Amber and Christian’s journey began in the summer of 2018. From their very first date, they quickly became inseparable. Despite attending different colleges, they made it a priority to see each other every weekend—often driving hours just to spend a little time together. In 2021, they took the next step and moved into their first apartment, where they adopted their first pet: Angus, a very sweet and spunky kitty who they loved dearly and is no longer with us. Not long after, their family grew with the addition of Eloise Ryen, their adventurous five-year-old pug daughter. Over the years, Amber and Christian have shared countless road trips, early morning hikes, cozy weekends, and a mutual love for good coffee from local shops. Their bond has grown alongside their accomplishments—Christian earned his bachelor’s degrees in Chemistry and Mathematics in 2022, and Amber followed with a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and an associate degree in Veterinary Nursing in 2023. They now own a home together in Stillwater, still spending their days with their beloved pets, Eloise and Skiperdee ( their tortoise). Christian is perusing his PhD in Chemistry while Amber continues to care for animals with passion and heart. They’re so excited to finally tie the knot and celebrate this next chapter with the people they love most.
