Our Story In Pictures

The very first time we hung out outside of camp. It was senior year of high school. We played spikeball. Luke was "patient" with Tess' abilities.

Senior year prom at De Soto High School. The only problem for Luke was that he went with a different girl! He really pulled out all the stops as the driver with his sodas and 2000 Subaru Outback.

Luke and our friend Caleb host the Camp Tekakwitha Talent Show. They literally roped Tess into their antics.

At camp before we were even dating!

St. Izzy's Barn Bash 2021.

Luke planned a surprise date for Tess to Williamsburg (two hours from Manhattan) to get her Guy and Mae's BBQ. It was closed so we ended up in the next town at Freddy’s.

Theta semi-formal dance at the Sunset Zoo, which is where we went on our second date.
