Daws and Syd wedding Aug 10, 2024

 I’m so behind in updating the blog but want to at least hit the biggest milestones and this wedding was definitely that! Sydney has been a part of our family for many years but it became official on Aug 10, 2024. 

Daws and Syd met in the 8th grade and he’s loved her ever since! They went to different High Schools and didn’t hang out very much their Freshman and Sophomore years but started dating their Junior year and have been inseparable ever since.

Syd is so easy to love! She is kind and thoughtful and fun to be around. Matt and I loved getting time with the 2 of them while they were still in high school. 


After high school Syd went to school at the University of Hawaii and Dawson to Utah State. They maintained their relationship-long distance.  They knew they were each others person from a young age but I love that they each still got a college experience, living with roommates away at school. 

After a semester at UH, Syd came back to Bend for a few months and then moved to SLC with friends for a year before the wedding. It was nice for them to live just an hour and a half from each other rather than separated by the ocean or a long drive. 

Quite a bit of family made it out for the wedding. We had a morning walk of the river trail and cold plunge each morning for those that wanted to join. 



Syd’s family put on a beautiful bridal shower for Sydney at their amazing Airbnb


We had a BBQ in our backyard the night before the wedding with the Blackburns and Dawsons. 




And the wedding day was absolutely perfect. Syd had planned every detail; it was a beautiful celebration of Dawson and Sydney! 












So happy to finally be married 🥰




Our girls ❤️

              Such a fun night with so much dancing!! 
Hank and Slade threw a surprise cousin dance in and the others didn’t miss a beat! 







Sure love these 2 ❤️
