You all know either the bride or the groom, but you may not know our story. We met in middle school at youth group when Katelyn was in 7th grade and Luke in 8th. We didn't start to get to know each other better until we went to Camp Elim (a Christian camp in Colorado Springs) a year later. I think that's when we could tell that God was in control of our relationship even though we were still just friends at the time. He got us through many hard times in both of our lives and He is the reason we get to celebrate our marriage. We went to all four years of high school together and were each other's best friends the whole time. We are planning to live in Spearfish, SD while Katelyn finishes school at Black Hills State University. Luke will graduate from Front Range Community College in May with an associate's degree in auto mechanics and will continue his work in Spearfish. We are so excited for everyone to join us at the wedding!
