Cole was home from Montana State University for Christmas break and through mutual friends, Lauren and Nick, Cole ended up coming over to Lauren's house where I was living at the time. We all decided to go to bainbridge and see the Christmas lights that night. There was an immediate attraction and Cole and I have not gone a day without talking since. Nothing has ever felt so right for either of us, being together instantly felt like "home". Together is where we belonged, and together is where we want to be for the rest of our days.
Our first date in December 2014 was at an outdoor ice skating rink. Five years later we returned to a date night at the outdoor ice skating rink in Downtown Des Moines where Cole asked me to marry him. There has never been a doubt that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, so of course the answer was "YES!". We are so excited to share our special day with you all and begin the next chapter of the rest of our lives!
