Isaac and Emma met in September of 2021 at a bowling tournament in Illinois. He was there bowling for Marian University and she was there cheering on her friend on the same bowling team. Emma's friend introduced her to Isaac and they became fast friends - the fastest friendship either of them had ever developed. Friendship at First Sight. For the next year, Emma and Isaac continued to grow their friendship, enjoying countless game nights and bowling outings. Their bond started to turn into romantic feelings, but neither of them would admit it right away. At the beginning of August 2022, Emma took the leap and told Isaac how she felt. He responded saying he felt the same way! On August 2nd, 2022 they went on their first official date, and it turned into multiple dates in one night. Going to Bay Beach, then mini golfing, then dinner, then Dave & Busters, and finally ending the night with one of their favorite activities: playing Yahtzee. From that night on, Isaac and Emma's love for one another only grew. It reached a peak when Isaac proposed on April 10th, 2025 (with a heart-shaped pizza, cookie dough words, and a ring pop) and it will reach another when they exchange their vows on September 19, 2026.
