Our Wedding

We met at Oregon State University through Bethany's cousin, Robert, who Makai was roommates with at the time. We started out as friends then grew to be best friends and fell in love. We have so much fun together either chilling at home, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, or traveling together. Thank you for being apart of our story as family or friends. We are so thankful for you in our lives! Here's to many happy years ahead. ❤️
