Erik and McKenzie began their journey at a La Crosse hospital, where they both worked as nurses. After a long night shift one morning, they chose to unwind at a cozy café. What started as a simple breakfast turned into hours of meaningful conversation, lighting a spark between them. As their friendship blossomed, deeper feelings emerged. During the pandemic, a cozy date night at home marked the start of their romantic path. Fast forward three delightful years filled with travel, laughter, and shared adventures, Erik knew it was time to take the next step. On a beautiful day at a breathtaking waterfall, Erik created a memorable proposal. He tucked a stunning engagement ring into the harness of their beloved corgi, Chandler. As they stood together admiring the magnificent falls, he revealed the ring. McKenzie’s enthusiastic ‘yes’ rang out in joy, and now they eagerly prepare to embrace the exciting adventure of marriage! The wedding will take place at: The Cargill Room at The Waterfront Restaurant. 332 Front St S, La Crosse, WI 54601
