Our Wedding

It all started the modern way… sliding into DMs. For over a year, Alyssa and Bobby talked on Instagram — a steady mix of light flirting, life updates, and the classic,“So… are we ever actually going to hang out in real life?”..Eventually, they did.Their first official date?Opening day of Alyssa’s frozen yogurt shop.Yes. That opening day...While Alyssa was stress-sweating over machines that wouldn’t cooperate and silently questioning every life choice that led her there, Bobby calmly stepped in, helped program the equipment, and gently forced her to actually unlock the doors...Nothing says romance like troubleshooting soft-serve...Somehow, between the chaos, the freezer alarms, and the “we’re really doing this” energy — something clicked...From there, life moved fast. There were more businesses, bigger dreams, long nights, early mornings, ranch chores, risk-taking, problem-solving, and a whole lot of “okay… we’ll figure it out.”..They’ve built a lot together — but more importantly, they’ve built a partnership where one person panics and the other says, “You’ve got this.” (They alternate.)..What started as Instagram messages turned into choosing each other every single day — in the exciting moments, the exhausting ones, and especially the chaotic grand-opening ones...Now they’re saying “I do” in Bend, Oregon, surrounded by the people who’ve watched this whole DM-to-dream-team evolution unfold...Moral of the story?Shoot your shot.Answer the DM.And marry the person who shows up on your most chaotic day… and stays for the cleanup.
