Our story began at the Wisconsin Athletic Club in Wauwatosa, WI — not the time or place either of us expected to meet the person we would one day marry. After our first brief interaction, many friendly smiles and shy waves were exchanged from across the gym until we finally exchanged phone numbers. What began as a simple "hello" between strangers soon turned into long conversations, endless laughter, and an instant connection that felt effortless from the very start. Since then, we’ve explored new places together, celebrated big milestones, and have supported one another through the challenges of nursing school and medical school. Through every season of life, we’ve continued to grow together — finding joy in the everyday moments and strength in the love we have for one another. What began with a leap of faith led us to each other, and we cannot wait to continue life side by side as husband and wife.
