As we look forward to our wedding day, we are filled with such gratitude and joy reflecting on the beautiful journey that we've shared over the last few years. In 2021, Cole and I met on a double date with our close friends in Bloomington, IN. From the moment we met, there was an instant connection shared between us that turned into a beautiful love story. Cole and I continued chatting that year and keeping up to date on each-other's lives. I went to visit Cole at the Big Ten Men's Golf Championship at French Lick Resort in the Spring of 2022 where I found myself rooting for Purdue over Indiana which made me quickly realize I had fallen for this man very hard. We spent the summer visiting each other every week and sharing many lake days, concerts, and golf tournaments together. When I moved to New York City in the fall of 2022 and Cole moved to Florida to pursue professional golf, we faced the challenge of long distance which only strengthened our relationship and deepened our commitment to one another. Cole spent weekends visiting me in New York where we strolled Central Park, ate $1 slice of pizzas, and attended sporting events such as Rangers & Yankees games. I ended up making the move to Jacksonville, Florida to continue working with corporate retail and moving in with Cole. We enjoyed a beautiful year in Jacksonville before making the move back to Indiana. In Jacksonville, we shared many sunset beach walks with our dog Indy, rooting on the Jaguars even though we are Colts fans, and spending time with friends and family. This is also where Cole proposed to me which marked the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. This was one of the happiest moments of our lives, and we are so lucky to have such great friends and family surrounding us to help celebrate this beautiful time. We are now eagerly awaiting our wedding day while also enjoying this sweet time of being engaged. We are so excited to celebrate our love and the future that lies ahead. Thank you for being a part of our journey - we are looking forward to celebrating with all of you in November!
