Our Wedding

Our Story

Kasey and Ashley met on their first day of grad school in 2016 at the University of Houston. Toward the end of their first class, the professor suggested they find partners for a group project, at which time Ashley turned to Kasey and said, "Will you be my partner?" —and the rest is history :). Over the past nine years, the couple has shared many adventures, including an epic year of travel around the country in a converted van and a LOT of miles hiked. They've also had a few career transitions: Kasey from therapist to software engineer, and Ashley from pastor to therapist/business owner. And finally, after spending some time exploring towns and cities they might want to call home, they are now settled into their new home in Bend, Oregon. Over the summer, Kasey proposed on a beautiful section of the Pacific Crest Trail in Washington State while they were on a backpacking trip. She proposed at Trap Pass, and says Ashley is trapped with her—lucky Ashley! Soon after, Ashley gave Kasey a ring on the Deschutes River Trail in Bend, surrounded by sunflowers, twinkle lights, and 133 photos. This familiar walk is one they've done together often, and a place where they have dreamt and planned their life together over the past few years. We are so grateful for the wonderful family and friends who continue to be on this journey with us, and we cannot wait to celebrate with you all in this Oregon mountain town that we now call home.

It all began in Houston, Texas. From meeting on the first day of grad school, to saving each other seats in our evening classes, to closing down restaurants as we talked for hours at late-night dinners after class, we had a lot of years for our love to grow.

Early Adventures

We first learned that we love to travel together with ski trips to Kasey's family condo in Crested Butte, a camping trip to Smoky Mountain National Park, and a grand Alaskan adventure to see the northern lights.

Van Life

During the pandemic, we began to dream of a change of pace, and soon after, the plan for van life was born. In 2022, we resigned from our jobs and began a seven-month trip through the U.S. and Canada in a converted Promaster van. It was a year of camping and hiking, and beautiful weather. We spent Spring in the southwest, Summer in the northwest, and Fall in the northeast. During this trip, we visited 25 National Parks, hiked about 1,000 miles, and occasionally stealth parked on city streets, even in NYC!

The Pacific Crest Trail

While on this incredible 2022 adventure, inspired by the book Wild, we parked the van in storage for three weeks and hiked 250 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from Cascade Locks, Oregon to Snoqualimie Pass, Washington. Little did we know that three years later, in 2025, we'd go back for more, and Kasey would propose on a section of the Pacific Crest Trail in Washington, near the place we left off.

The Pacific Northwest

After finishing 2022 in our beloved van, we launched a private counseling practice, Kasey began a coding bootcamp, and we both began working remotely. This afforded us the choice of deciding where to live, and what better place than beautiful Bend, Oregon. We love residing in the PNW, and we're so grateful for the friends who have quickly made this feel like home &lt;3. Along with all the hikes, some of our favorite activities have been regularly skiing at Mt. Bachelor, just 20 minutes from our front door, as well as cutting down our own Christmas tree in the Deschutes National Forest.

The Adventures Continue...

We might not live on four wheels anymore, but with Bend as our home base, we continue to have much to explore. We've found our way to Banff for a second time, the Oregon coast, as well as many other weekend trips around Oregon and Washington. When we were missing the city a couple of years ago, we took off for New York for six weeks for a lot of Broadway and pizza, as well as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! Last but not least, we always love a good trip to visit family and friends!

The Next Big Adventure...

We are so excited for this next chapter of our lives, and to dance and laugh off into the sunset of forever together!

Wedding Party

The airport nearest to Bend is Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM). It is a 30-minute drive or Uber ride from town. If you're coming from out of town, a hotel near downtown is a great option, as many of our meeting points for events or transportation will be downtown. The recommended hotels are mostly within a few blocks of each other. Regarding transportation, for greater flexibility, you might consider getting a rental car. However, this is up to your discretion, as Bend also has Uber, some of the hotels have limited shuttle options, and we are providing transportation for many of the main events, as noted in event details.
