2020: We met at Wiggly Field, a bar in Weston, WI, where a mutual friend introduced us on Tyler's 25th birthday. Eleven days later, we had our first date at Leine Lodge. We knew each other just over two weeks, and Tyler asked me to be his girlfriend—it just felt right. Then came COVID, giving us the unique opportunity to slow down, truly connect, and build the foundation of our relationship. This summer marked the beginning of countless sunny and peaceful days on the boat. We met each other's families, and Tyler later introduced me to his family cabin up north in Manitowish Waters, WI—a place that would hold so many cherished memories. 2021: We took an exciting step forward by moving into our first home together. Each day, a new chance to learn and discover more about each other! We shared more firsts, like our first official tent camping trip and cheering on the Packers at our first game together. During this year, we learned so much about each other! 2022: This year brought more adventures, including a sunny trip to Florida and the addition of Griffin, our sweet fur baby, who instantly stole our hearts at 9 weeks old. We couldn't have picked a better pup out of the litter! 2023: We returned to Leine Lodge, bringing our parents along to share the spot where we had our first date. We also traveled outside the U.S. for the first time together for a warm vacation to Mexico. Shortly after, we celebrated Griffin’s first birthday, got our first pop-up camper, and shared in the joy of Isaac and Kassie's wedding in Salt Lake City, UT. Another highlight was attending our first concert together—HARDY! 2024: A year to remember! We celebrated my 30th birthday surrounded by friends and family, and the biggest surprise of all—we got engaged! My high school best friend and Matron of Honor photographed our engagement photos, some taken at Leine Lodge—a place so special to us. 2025: More adventures awaited us as we experienced Nashville and later celebrated Tyler’s 30th birthday with our friends and family. We also get to experience Marissa and Michael's marriage this coming September, just 5 weeks before we tie the knot. We can't wait for the most meaningful celebration of all—our wedding day! It’s been an incredible journey so far, and we’re beyond excited to begin the next chapter of our story. We can’t wait to celebrate our day with you!
