We can't wait to celebrate with you!

We originally met by way of two of our best friends (Jon's best man, Dillon, and Zoë's friend and bridesmaid, Kim) who started dating. Feel free to ask them how Jon and Zoë helped them get together (it was mostly Jon, *wink wink*). For those not familiar with Stevens Point, there isn't much to do but go to house parties and downtown to the bars (of which there are plenty). It only took a few run ins for Jon to FINALLY catch Zoë's eye, but of course this was shortly before Jon graduated from UWSP and moved away. Right place, wrong time!

Remember those two lovebirds Kim and Dillon? Yeah they got married and of course Jon and Zoë would certainly be part of the wedding party festivities. Jon was scheming how to convince Kim and Dillon to have him and Zoë walk together for the wedding. It didn't take much convincing! Before you knew it, Jon was trying to get Zoë's attention to have her sit next to him on the wedding party bus. Luckily there was a perfectly empty seat next to him! A few adult beverages later, Jon and Zoë were planning the penultimate grand march entrance. What could they possibly do that would be both fun and entertaining for everyone else? You know that lift thing from Dirty Dancing? Let's try that! While waiting for some other photos to be taken, Jon and Zoë did a few practice runs of the iconic lift, certainly not the best looking attempts in the world. Fast forward to go time and we were certainly questioning our decision to attempt the lift and we had no back up plan! A little bit of liquid courage is all you need for those scenarios and Jon and Zoë pulled off the move with ease and with plenty of mouths agape in the crowd! As you can see from the photo below! We started dating shortly after and the rest is history.
