We're looking forward to celebrating with you!

We've known each other since freshman year in high school at Luther Prep in Watertown, WI. Alex first asked for a date junior year, but the time just wasn't right. We tried again a few times throughout college at Martin Luther College, but things just weren't ready, and things just didn't click. But each time we tried, even if things didn't go well on a romantic level, we still bounced back and stayed as very good friends. Graduation day, Cassie was called to serve as a teacher in Aberdeen, SD while Alex went to Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, WI, and we lost touch for a time. After a couple of years apart, we reunited at the wedding of some mutual friends. The summer after, Alex began his vicar (pastoral intern) year in Watertown, SD - about an hour and a half away from Cassie. We got reacquainted with each other over that year, and started dating just before Alex went back to Mequon. We dated for nearly two years before he popped the question in Watertown, WI - the place where our story began. Now, eleven and a half years after this all started, we're excited to share our wedding day with you!
