John and I first met in a college chemistry class, where John was the class clown and I was miss goody-two-shoes. We would often talk in class and would even run into each other in the engineering building at Saint Martins. We slowly got to be good friends! John invited me to play ping pong one night after a hard week of studying. We talked each other's ears off while each of us were desperate to win the ping pong match! We learned about each other's family's and were able to see each other's personalities come through more than ever. From that night forward, John and I slowly fell in love with one another and spent lots and lots of time together all throughout that upcoming summer. I would go on tractor rides with John as he farmed, and we would spend the rest of the evenings driving around and finding the best spots to sit and talk for hours. We grew extremely close and learned we both had so many similar interests and perspectives on life. From fishing, to snowboarding, to hiking, and to loving farm life, John and I could both picture spending the rest of our lives together and officially got engaged on October 27th, 2024, after 2 amazing years of dating. We are both eager to be united as one family and to walk through life together!! We talk about our excitement of being married every single day and are so blessed to be husband and wife on August 9th 2025!
