Paxston and Luke’s love story started when their parents met in 1998 becoming fast friends.

Growing up, the two families went on countless ski trips, the beach, and various church events together. On the trips, Luke and Paxston’s older sister Briar were the closest in age, so they became dear friends, with Paxston tagging along with Luke’s younger brother Joey. Paxston always recalled having a crush on Luke, but being considered the “baby” of the friend group and going to different schools, there was never a thought then that they would become husband and wife.

Paxston and Luke’s paths crossed again when a simple comment on Instagram started a conversation, leading to an invitation out for drinks. From the first date in 2020, Paxston and Luke’s love has grown through eight weddings, renaissance festivals, good food and lots of great beer! Although time has changed those two kids, Paxston and Luke cherish the time they shared growing up together, and look forward to continuing creating shared memories, experiences and life changes with each other.

On January 7th, Paxston and Luke will say their vows, making family friends officially family.
