The Bride and Groom
Whitney
Bride
Whitney grew up in Brownsburg, IN. She had an early love of movies, animals, and music, which led to her extensive collection of DVDs, Spice Girl Memorabilia, and stuffed animals. She spent a lot of her time riding her bike to the library, and always had at least one book on every family trip. She loved learning about horses and whales, and would tell everyone who asked that she wanted to be a Killer Whale Trainer when she grew up. She always had to be the center of attention when there were guests at the house, and would sing for everyone. She played soccer and joined a lot of clubs in high school, like spell bowl and student council. She got her degree in History, but worked as a server at a few different restaurants until she went to school for Surgical Technology. She graduated in 2015 and immediately started a job at IU University Hospital in Indianapolis. She worked with the ENT and Liver teams on many complicated cancer surgeries, and kept her job as a server at Longhorn on weekends. In 2019, she left Indiana to become a traveler, which brought her to Oregon. She worked in Seattle and Tacoma before heading back to Oregon. She loves spending time with the dogs, eating ice cream, and collecting rocks and crystals. She is so thankful to have a partner like Trevor who has given her a wonderful new family and a place to call home.
