We met in college, thanks to Liv’s older brother, who happened to have a cute friend. What started as a simple introduction quickly turned into something much more, and we fell in love early on. We spent two years together at St. Olaf, a time that shaped not only our relationship, but who we were becoming as individuals. Those years were building a foundation that has carried us ever since. After college, we took a leap and moved out west to Idaho, not entirely sure what we were getting ourselves into. What was meant to be a short summer adventure slowly turned into a life we didn’t want to leave. Together, we’ve built a home surrounded by incredible friends and the kind of everyday adventures that have become so meaningful to us. A big part of our life together is supporting each other in the things we love. Liv is always right there alongside Chris—encouraging his hunting trips, hopping on a dirt bike, enjoying meals he proudly cooks (usually for her), and sharing in a good beer at the end of the day. Chris does the same for Liv, cheering her on in trail running, joining her on ski days, taste-testing whatever she’s baking, and embracing whatever new interest she decides to take on next. Through every season, we’ve continued to grow together—learning how to show up for one another, to encourage each other, and to build a life that feels like our own. We feel so lucky to have found each other when we did and to have had the chance to grow up side by side. We’re so excited to get married and to celebrate our love story with everyone who has supported us along the way!
