It all began in 2018 at a Halloween party. The moment Karissa saw Bailey, she felt something special, an instant connection she couldn’t explain. Too shy to approach him, she simply referred to him as “Patagonia Hat Boy,” the mysterious guy who had already captured her heart without even knowing it. A few days passed without so much as a word between them, until Halloween night brought them back together. Hunter Pelzman and Bailey were hanging out when Hunter asked Medora Larson if they could come over, so the guys joined Karissa and Medora to hang out. Laughter filled the air as they all hung out, and a spark between Karissa and Bailey began to shine. Of course, every great love story has its unforgettable moment for them, it was when Bailey accidentally threw a basketball straight at Karissa’s face. (A true accident, of course!) But somehow, even that became part of the charm of their beginning. Later that night, Karissa got Bailey’s Snapchat from Hunter, and the two stayed up talking until the early hours of the morning. From that moment on, they were inseparable. In January of 2024, they took the next big step and bought their first home together. Soon after, they learned they were expecting their greatest adventure yet their baby girl, Everli Jaydn Endres. Then, on August 25th, during their maternity photoshoot, Bailey got down on one knee and asked Karissa to spend forever with him. Completely caught off guard, she was speechless the photos captured it all: the surprise, the joy, and the moment their love story turned into a forever one.
