It was the Summer of 2018 in Muscatine, Iowa. Bri and Will were interning at HNI Corporation as accountants. Both were heading into their senior year of college (Bri at Augustana and Will at Iowa). That Summer they were working at factories next to each other and quickly became friends. As the Summer neared its end, they realized they had a strong connection and wanted to continue seeing each other. As the school year started, they would drive and visit each other on the weekends and by September 1st they were officially dating. From then on, they mastered a few years of long distance and eventually made Springfield their home together in 2022. In November of 2023, Will surprised Bri in Iowa City in front of the capital building and popped the question (go hawks!). Hawkeyes were able to pull out a win the next day and continue the celebrations. This wedding will be 7 years in the making and Bri and Will are excited to celebrate with all their loved ones.
