Casey and Brooke met during college, where they both pursued careers in ultrasound. Casey was accepted into the Aurora ultrasound program in 2018, but ultimately decided to obtain a minor in management and start the program the following year. Everything happens for a reason of course, because he met Brooke in 2019, as they now shared several classes together! The two developed an immediate friendship. Some of their first conversations consisted of them sharing stories from their CNA jobs, Brooke laughing at Casey's reenactments of ghost stories from him working night shift, and discussions of where they'd like to work in the future. Brooke and Casey had in person classes together until March 2020. Classes then switched to online and they spent many days in quarantine talking on the phone for hours. They would study together, watch movies online together, and talk about future aspirations. Come July 2020, Casey planned a date at the House on the Rock and the rest was truly history. Casey asked Brooke to be his girlfriend on August 16th 2020. Fast forward a few years, Brooke and Casey bought a house together in New Berlin. They also added a very important member to their family - their dog, Point! On June 29th 2024, Casey proposed to Brooke at Minooka park. Minooka park being special to them as they often take Point there to run around and hike. And for those wondering, of course Point was witness to the proposal! He even had a white bandana to wear at the engagement party that said "I do, too!" Brooke and Casey feel they have found in each other a best friend and partner in all of life's adventures and are excited for their future together. The pair will be tieing the knot on August 16th 2025, exactly five years after Casey asked Brooke to be his girlfriend. We cannot wait to celebrate our marriage with our closest friends and family by our side. We are eternally grateful for each and every one of you who have been apart of our story! Love, Casey and Brooke
