Our Wedding

Our story began when Kevin and I met through eHarmony early in 2023. After weeks of talking on the phone and getting to know each other, I gathered my courage and agreed to meet him in person. We both were pleasantly surprised by our connection and chemistry. Our relationship deepened, we had fun and adventures together, love bloomed, and it was clear that what we wanted was each other. Now, 3 years later, we have faced a medical emergency that nearly took Kevin's life. His and her surgeries, selling our homes, packing up our lives, and moving to Kendrick, Idaho. Here we found open land, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, abundant wildlife, a welcoming community, and the joy of days spent with old and new friends, mainly traveling to and from Oregon, but also a trip back East for a family wedding where I met and fell in love with Kevin's family! Lots of motorcycle rides and runs with Kevin's MC, and we are putting our stamp on our 20-acre farmhouse and land. Despite challenges, our love and commitment grew stronger, and we are grateful for this journey. Now, we invite you to witness and help us celebrate our found love and lifetime commitment to each other.
