We're getting married!

Cory and Jess met in college through Jess’ brother, Tyler, who was also Cory’s roommate at the time. Jess was attending Winona State, but later transferred to UW-Stout; conveniently only a 20-minute drive to Eau Claire, where Cory was attending school. It wasn’t until Cory’s senior year in college that the two started dating. Jess was a year behind Cory in school so they knew a distant relationship would be in their future, little did they know it would be for the next three years. Cory moved to Sioux Falls, SD after college for his job, while Jess finished her last year of school. After graduation, Jess got a job in the Twin Cities but was not any closer to Cory, as he was promoted to a job in Davenport, IA. The two went their separate ways for a bit, focusing on their careers, but kept in touch. It wasn’t until Cory moved back to Minnesota when the two found each other again. Following one more year of a distant relationship, Jess finally moved down to Rochester, MN. They moved into a new house together, rescued a couple of dogs, and a year and a half later got engaged. They are now months away from saying “I do” and spending the rest of their lives together. Through thick and thin, the couple have been through so much, strengthening their relationship to what it is today. They couldn’t be happier to announce themselves as Mr. and Mrs. Plinck on April 30, 2022.
