Our Wedding

Our StoryWe weren’t looking for love when we met, but life had other plans. It all started on the sidelines of a youth football field. Dennis was a dedicated coach, and so clearly there for the right reasons. I was a football mom, just showing support for my sons, we never imagined that we would find something so unexpected and so right in each other.What began as small conversations, just a few words exchanged between plays, turned into deep talks that stretched long into the night. We connected quickly, in a way that felt easy and real, like we’d known each other forever.Our love was never about grand gestures, it’s grown in the quiet, everyday moments. We both cherish the simple things: crisp fall air, cozy nights by the fire, and being surrounded by family. Those are the moments when we feel most at home with each other.But what truly brought us closer was our shared heart for giving back. Together, we’ve volunteered for car washes, haunted houses, and anything else that could raise money for the team and support the kids. We’ve built more than just memories we’ve built a life centered on service, laughter, and community. Helping others, side by side, has made our bond even stronger.Now, we’re stepping into our next chapter still side by side, and stronger than ever.We’re so excited to celebrate this life we’re building, with the people who’ve been part of our journey. From a football field to forever.This is us.

Caitlin has always been more than just Dennis’s sister  she’s been his rock. The one constant presence in his life, always ready to do anything for him, to protect him, and to make sure he’s okay. Her love and loyalty are unwavering, and her strength has carried them both through life’s challenges.

Chris is Dennis’s oldest brother, and while he never misses a chance to mess with him, there’s no doubt where his heart is. Behind the jokes and teasing is someone who would drop everything in a heartbeat to help Dennis — no questions asked. That’s the kind of big brother he’s always been.

Christopher Byerly

Steve and Dennis first met at Piney Green Volunteer Fire Department, and from day one, Steve became more than just a fellow firefighter  he became a mentor and a true friend. As a captain, Steve has always led by example, constantly helping and pushing Dennis to grow both as a firefighter and as a person. Thanks to Steve’s guidance and support, Dennis earned his certification and now proudly serves as an engineer. And through it all, he continues to learn and grow every day.

Kyle isn’t just Lindsay’s firstborn he’s her lifelong teammate, biggest supporter, and occasional reality check. Having grown up together (literally), the two have mastered the art of tag-teaming life’s challenges, from diaper duty to adulting dilemmas. They've moved mountains, built dreams, and probably survived more than most could understand along the way.
Lindsay wouldn’t want anyone else by her side, he knows her best, keeps her grounded, and always brings the greatest laughs.

Mae is Lindsay’s daughter-in-law and an important part of the family. From the moment she joined their lives, she brought warmth, kindness, and support that everyone deeply appreciates. Mae’s genuine care for Lindsay and the whole family shines through in everything she does, creating a strong bond built on love and respect. She stands by them through life’s highs and lows, making their family circle even stronger and more connected.

Mae Laster

Lauren is Lindsay’s sister, and like all siblings, they have their moments those little disagreements that come with growing up side by side. But beneath it all is something much stronger: an unshakable bond. No matter what life throws their way, Lauren knows Lindsay will always be there for her, and Lindsay knows she can count on Lauren without a second thought. Through every laugh, every tear, every late-night talk and silly argument, they’ve been each other’s biggest cheerleaders. Their connection is built on love, trust, and a lifetime of shared memories and it only grows deeper with time.
