In 2013 Amber was in her second year of physical therapy school and Garrett had just moved to Maryland to start a job at a power plant after nine years in the Navy. “We were both on Match.com. We met and talked for 6 hours at Buffalo Wild Wings.”
“Garrett told me he wanted to go to Vegas for a weekend and just spend some time together. He said for the tour we had to take a shuttle. We got out at a helicopter port and he had a big smile on his face when I asked excitedly if we were going on a helicopter. The pilot quickly tells us the itinerary which included landing in the Grand Canyon for a picnic lunch and photo ops. We landed in the Grand Canyon! What a breathtaking sight. We go to get our picture taken by the pilot and sure enough, as we stand on the edge of one of the ledges, Garrett dropped to his knee. I obviously said Yes!”
100 guests were in attendance for their outdoor April nuptials at Musket Ridge, including five bridesmaids and two groomsmen. “The walk from the golf club where my dad and I waited for the ceremony site was nerve-wracking but then I saw Garrett. He wiped away tears and was smiling so big, it took the nerves away.”
The couple chose a rustic theme for their wedding decor, with a color palette of coral, gray and navy. “The venue had the most amazing view for guests both at the ceremony and during the reception. The ceremony site sat right at the edge of the course and the reception about 150 ft above it looked out onto green fairways lined with trees.”
Amber is a physical therapist and Garrett is reactor operator at a nuclear power plant. They currently reside in Avondale, Arizona.
