Love has a way of weaving people and places together in the most beautiful ways. For Kayley Earwood and Jason Stark, their story is one of devotion, resilience, and the power of family. We’re honored to share their journey, which will lead them to say “I do” right here in Sturgeon Bay on October 5, 2025, at The Gala.
The stunning photo of the happy couple, captured by the talented Lacy West of Lacy West Photography in Copper Cove, Texas, speaks volumes about their love and excitement for the future. We’re so grateful to Lacy for sharing this beautiful moment with us.From Washington to Wisconsin: Following Their Hearts
Kayley, 25, moved to Wisconsin in February 2022 with her family after her father retired from the Army. The move was a leap of love, driven by a desire to be closer to extended family, including Kayley’s extraordinary 97-year-old great-grandmother, who lives in Sturgeon Bay.
Jason, 23, entered Kayley’s life in Washington while he was serving in the Army. Their connection blossomed into a deep love that defied distance, with Jason finishing his military service while maintaining a long-distance relationship with Kayley. When his service ended, Jason made the heartfelt decision to join Kayley in Wisconsin. From there, their journey took them to Kingsland, Texas, where Jason grew up, and where they now call home. Why Sturgeon Bay?
While Texas holds a special place in their hearts, Kayley and Jason chose Sturgeon Bay as the setting for their wedding—a decision rooted in family and tradition. With so many loved ones here, including Kayley’s great-grandmother, there was no better place to celebrate their union than surrounded by those they hold dear.
Their October wedding will be a day filled with love, joy, and cherished moments, honoring the incredible bond they’ve built and the family ties that brought them here. A Story to Treasure.
Kayley and Jason’s love story is a testament to patience, sacrifice, and the unwavering strength of family ties. Their journey from Washington to Wisconsin to Texas, and finally back to Sturgeon Bay for their wedding, reflects the beauty of love’s ability to bring people together, no matter the distance.
Sturgeon Bay can’t wait to celebrate this wonderful couple and their extraordinary love story. Congratulations, Kayley and Jason—you’ve touched our hearts, and we’re so excited to share in your joy!
