Welcome to our Hoppe ever after!

We met at the Waukesha Gun Club, where we both worked. We worked together for about three months before Kiran pursued a different job position. We were both involved with other people at the time of us meeting which lead to a strict co-worker relationship. Little did we know, we would choose each other for the rest of our lives.

In October of 2013, Kiran came into WGC for a fun night of shooting and Alison was working. She and her dad had just joined a shooting league and were looking for an extra person to be on their team. Knowing that Kiran was good at shooting, she asked him to shoot in this short league with her. Week after week, they enjoyed a pizza together after shooting, which sparked a beautiful relationship.

We try to do some sort of get-away every year and in 2019, we found ourselves doing a small road trip up the East side of Wisconsin and down the West side of Michigan. On this trip, we visited Mackinac City, took a drive through the beautiful tunnel of trees, and drove Jeeps through the Silver Lake sand dunes (so much fun!). While at the Sleeping Bear sand dunes, we stumbled upon the most gorgeous view of Lake Michigan. We snuck off the main tourist area and found a spot where we could lay down a blanket, pour a few drinks, and enjoy the view. Alison's inner child came out and she started drawing a heart with their names in it in the sand. Kiran walked over to check it out and when Alison was done writing, she turned around and saw Kiran down on one knee with the stunning view of Lake Michigan behind him. To no surprise, Alison screamed and said yes!

We are so excited to take this journey together and are extremely grateful to have you celebrate with us. See you at the wedding!
