Our story began on a cold February day at the University of North Dakota, where a chance encounter changed everything. Alex spotted me across the room at a social gathering and instantly knew he had to get to know me. What started as a simple conversation quickly turned into daily chats that lasted for months. As fate would have it, we also discovered we had classes together, which made going to school a whole lot more exciting when your crush is sitting just a few rows away. From college parties and Greek events to study dates, the one thing that remained constant was us. After graduation, as we figured out what our next adventures would look like, it was clear—whatever came next, we’d be doing it together. Three cities, two additional degrees, and two lovable dogs later, we knew we were ready for the next chapter. So, on July 12th on a private beach in Destin, FL, Alex got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. And of course, with tears in both of our eyes, I said YES!
We can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together! After checking with my dad to make sure August 30th didn’t conflict with a UND home game (priorities, right?), we knew that would be the perfect day to say "I do!" We're beyond excited to celebrate this special day with our closest friends and family, and we can't wait to share the love and joy of this next chapter with all of you!
