Our Wedding

<p>	This love story started in 2016 when Sara Olsen and Cole Denham met each other in high school, on the bus to be exact. What started as a few instagram messages, yes, Sara slid into Cole’s DM’s, grew into a love that has been growing for nearly a decade. What may have started as the most awkward first date at the movies, led to 9+ years of memories, and forever to go. They made it official on January 27th, 2017. After moving out into their first place together, they have spent the last five years building a home and a life together, sharing countless memories, adventures and everyday moments along the way. On November 22nd, 2025 Cole FINALLY proposed under the redwoods. Now, after growing up together, navigating life side by side, and making so many memories, they are so excited to finally say “I do!” and begin this next chapter together.</p>

Our Story

Hey everyone, 

My name is Haily and I am Sara’s best friend. Although best friend doesn’t quite do our friendship justice. In truth she is the yin to my yang. She keeps me balanced by teaching me to be more forgiving, reeling me in when I’m getting a little too wild, and pulling me out of my shell when I’m not being wild enough for her. She has been there through every blessing and every heart ache that life has thrown at me. After having my daughter, Rylie, she became the greatest godmother that I could ever ask for my daughter. She loves her as if she was her own child and we count our lucky stars for being blessed with someone that can love and cheer us on the way that she does. We have celebrated each and every stage of our lives together since the third grade. Like any couple Colio and her have had their trials and tribulations, and they have handled each one with an admirable amount of grace, love, and respect for one another. I cannot wait to watch their journey as a married couple unfold. I know that their marriage will open new doors for them as a family and only deepen the love they already hold for one another. Colio, you are her perfect match. Thank you for always being there for her. I love you both.

I am Travis, and I have been best friends with Cole since kindergarten, which means we have had plenty of time to perfect the art of giving each other a hard time. Despite never coordinating beforehand, we also have an impressive ability to show up wearing nearly identical outfits—something neither of them is willing to take responsibility for.  Between the nonstop banter and a lifetime of questionable decisions, our friendship has never been short on laughs. After all these years, I couldn’t be happier for Cole and Sara and I am so proud to be Cole’s Best Man… matching outfit not guaranteed.

Hi everyone! 
My name is Jordan, I met Sara 4 years ago in nursing school. The craziness of nursing school I think is what brought us so close together. Over the years I have been able to watch Sara become the best auntie to all her nieces and nephews, an amazing nurse, and now the bride to be! I am so excited for this next journey for Cole and Sara and honored to be standing by her side while they tie the knot!

I've had the pleasure of knowing Cole since freshman year. From waiting for the bus in the mornings for school too putting lift kits on my truck we were always doing something. Countless hours working at the tree lot and pumpkin patch we became even better friends. Even when I moved away for a couple years we still talked almost daily. I'm so happy for both Cole and Sara i can't wait to see where this next chapter takes them both. Love you guys.

My name is Tatiana, and I am Sara’s little sister. I’m so honored and excited to be a Junior Bridesmaid in her wedding!
Cole has always been so nice to me, and I’m really glad I got the chance to meet him and now get to call him my brother-in-law. Sara and Cole have brought so much laughter and fun into our family. One of my favorite memories is their tortilla challenge while we were camping, where they smacked each other with tortillas and tried not to spit out the water in their mouths. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard!
Another unforgettable moment was when Sara terrified our brother Anthony while dressed up in a Halloween costume. There have been so many funny and special memories with them, and I’m so grateful for all the happiness they’ve brought into our family.
I love Sara and Cole both very much, and I truly couldn’t imagine my life without them. I’m so excited to celebrate their love and be part of their special day! ❤️

My name is Matthew, and I’m one of Cole’s groomsmen, but funny enough, I actually met Sara first through my wife. We were all pretty young then, out causing trouble and enjoying life, and Sara and my wife were basically always together. Cole came into the picture not long after, and over the years the four of us became incredibly close. At this point, I don’t really think of Sara and Cole as just friends anymore. They’re family. We’ve shared camping trips, BBQs, game nights, and plenty of nights where none of us really needed a reason to hang out. Some of those memories are crystal clear, and some are a little harder to remember the next morning. One that always stands out is my 21st birthday, when Sara made a five-gallon jug of Bahama Mama. I remember that part pretty well… after that, things get a little blurry. One of my favorite early memories with Cole was our first big trip to Shasta. It was one of those trips where it really felt like all of us were becoming a family. Sara can come off shy and quiet at first, but anyone who really knows her knows that around her people, she is anything but. Sara and Cole are almost complete opposites in a lot of ways, but I think that’s exactly why they work so well. They balance each other out, and I honestly can’t picture two people who fit each other better. I’m grateful to have been part of so much of their story already, and I can’t wait to see what comes next for them.

My name is Cloey, and I am Sara’s little sister. I am beyond excited and honored to be a Junior Bridesmaid in her wedding!
I was only one year old when Sara came into our family, so I’ve never known a life without her as my big sister. She has always been such a special part of my life, and I’m so lucky to have grown up with her by my side.
One of my favorite memories with Sara and Cole is when we went to Six Flags and went on a kid roller coaster. The three of us laughed from start to finish. It’s one of those silly memories that I’ll always remember and smile about.
I was also very young when Cole came into our family, so even though I’m so happy that he will officially become my brother-in-law, I’ve never really known a life without him either. To me, he has always been my brother and a part of our family.
I love Sara and Cole so much, and I’m so grateful for all the memories, laughter, and love they have brought into my life. I couldn’t imagine my life without either of them, and I’m so excited to stand by Sara’s side and celebrate their wedding day! ❤️

My name is Trey and I’ve had the great pleasure of knowing Cole and Sara since high school. I have very fond memories of walking past them in between classes and also making a point to stop and say hi even for just a bit. I’ve moved around a bit from that time and even though we’ve grown apart only in terms of on the map, We’ve been known to talk on the phone for hours even when there’s nothing left to say, we’re still there for each other. And Sara will jump into the conversation from time to time. Even apart we’ve only grown closer. Very thankful for Cole and Sara, even if I don’t say it enough. 
Love y’all and can’t wait to be up there with you buddy.
