We met each other in our freshman year of college at Bethany Lutheran College. We both had mutual friends and ended up playing on the same intramural volleyball team. During our sophomore year, our very first date was perfectly us: church in the morning, followed by great food for brunch. Since then, we’ve built our relationship on faith, fun, and plenty of little traditions—working out together, rewatching Harry Potter for the hundredth time, and treating ourselves to Mexican food and ice cream more often than we’ll admit. Luke proposed to me on May 31st when I visited him in Mankato. The day started with homemade pancakes, a gym trip, and a spontaneous Jimmy John’s picnic. At a quiet park near a river, Luke got on one knee and asked me to marry him. We are so excited to spend the rest of our lives loving and growing with each other.
