Our paths first crossed in 2017 when Kris walked into Kippy’s as I was bartending. He was cracking all the jokes and caught my eye instantly, as I did his. Although our relationship initially had its ups and downs, the undeniable connection between us persisted. By 2020, we decided to make our bond official. On the first day of spring, March 20th, 2022, he sealed our love story by proposing at one of the cherished venues from our early dates - the Botanical Garden in Des Moines. Our love story took another amazing turn shortly after Kris proposed when we welcomed our dog, Quiggle Sue, into our lives. She quickly became an integral part of our journey and enriches our lives in countless ways. We look forward to the many adventures that lie ahead.
