Our story began on the very first day of high school during first block when we were seated next to each other in computer programming class. Over the years, we had a few more classes together, but it wasn’t until senior year when Allison asked Connor to prom that things really took off. That summer, we officially started dating just over a month before college move-in.

We spent the next four years navigating long distance—Connor at Creighton, Allison at Iowa—surviving on weekend visits, late-night FaceTime calls, and way too many hours on I-80. After graduation, we finally got to start our post-grad life together. With the help of our family, we packed our bags and moved from Dallas county IA to Dallas, TX.

Fast forward to August 2025, just after our six-year anniversary, Connor proposed at one of our favorite places—our family home at Table Rock Lake. We celebrated with family, a great dinner, and the perfect late summer sunset.

Over the years, we've come to appreciate just how well we balance each other—Allison, the creative dreamer who carefully thinks through every detail, and Connor, the steady and analytical voice of reason. Through every stage of life, we've been each other's greatest support, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate the beginning of this next chapter with you all. To our family and friends—thank you for being part of our lives, for your unwavering support, and for the wisdom and encouragement you’ve shared over the years. We are beyond grateful to have you by our side and so excited to celebrate this moment with you!
