“Reahana and Chris met through mutual friends. For a while, they only knew of each other, but it wasn’t until a friend put together a Ragnar relay team that they truly connected. From that moment on, their journey together began, filled with adventure, laughter, and an easygoing love that never felt rushed. They were together for 11 years before deciding to tie the knot. Marriage was never something they felt pressured to do- after all, not much really changes at that point- but she did want a ring! Chris, being the thoughtful guy he is, asked Reahana’s dad for permission, and my dad simply told him, ‘You’ll know when the time is right.’ Chris had originally planned a grand proposal- something in the desert with a bonfire and all of their friends- but sometimes the best moments happen unexpectedly. One night, after coming home from a concert, the timing just felt right. As they pulled into the driveway at 3 a.m., with the rain still drizzling outside, Chris told Reahana to wait a second. He went inside, came back out with their dog, Pabst, and a ring. Just like that, he asked her to marry him. It was intimate, spontaneous, and absolutely perfect. When it came to planning their wedding, they had one goal in mind: throw an amazing party. They’ve never been a black-tie, three course dinner type, so a traditional wedding didn’t feel like them. Instead, they leaned into what they loved the most-the desert, good people, and a laid back atmosphere. After spending so many years together, their wedding wasn’t about tradition, it was about celebrating finally making it official in a way that felt right. They wanted the night to feel like a giant bonfire party, just on a bigger scale. No frills, no pressure, just music, drinks, dancing, and the people who meant the most to them. It wasn’t just a wedding; it was their kind of celebration, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.”
