Our Story

Rhett and Alison first met back in Fall 2016, in Nashville while staying the weekend for a Packers vs. Titans game. Thanks to their mutual friends, Mara and Logan Manchek (and Bryn), they wound up staying at the same Airbnb. The Packers lost and the timing wasn’t right for them to start their journey, but the weekend was a blast. Fast forward to Summer 2017, Rhett was living in Minneapolis but regularly visited Milwaukee on the weekends. On a Saturday night, Rhett bumped into Alison and some of her friends at the Irish Pub in downtown Milwaukee. After some smooth talking that night, the two started chatting afterward and eventually he convinced her to go on a date. Their first date was a Jon Pardi/Dierks Bentley concert at Summerfest. They sat in the bleacher seats in the way back, it downpoured, Rhett's mom happened to be at the same concert, and the beer lines were about a mile long. Even though the odds were stacked against this date, Alison had a great time and gave Rhett another date for redemption. The second and third dates went even better and Milwaukee dates became a common occurrence for that Summer and Fall. Even with Rhett living in Minneapolis, he made the regular trip down and Alison made the occasion trip up. After about a year of the back and forth, Alison lured Rhett to Milwaukee. Rhett moved to Milwaukee in 2018, some of it due to Alison, most of it due to being closer to their French Bulldog, Jean Pierre. In 2019 Rhett and Alison bought their first home together in Wauwatosa, WI and in 2020 they added another French Bulldog, Jean Ralphio. With a cute home, two loving dogs, and 4 years together, it was time to make this family official. Which brings you all here.
