Lilli and Tanner first met through friends in August 2020, not realizing that one casual introduction would change everything. Neither was really looking for love at the time, but sometimes the best things happen when you least expect them. From the very beginning, their personalities just seemed to click; easy, natural, and full of laughter. What started as a friendship soon blossomed into a love that felt effortless and true. As their relationship grew, so did their lives together. They moved in with each other and soon welcomed their handsome (and not-so-little) cat, Moo, into the family, who quickly made himself right at home. Through every season, whether celebrating life’s big milestones or simply enjoying cozy nights in with Moo, they discovered how beautifully their lives fit together, each day deepening their love and appreciation for one another. Now, six years to the month after they first met, Lilli and Tanner are beginning the next chapter of their love story as husband and wife, surrounded by family, friends, and the very people who first brought them together, all of whom have shaped their journey and shared in their joy.

Tanner planned a truly unforgettable moment at Round Lake Winery while celebrating his grandma’s birthday. They were taking family photos when Tanner and Lilli decided to capture a picture together. As they posed, Lilli noticed her own family walking around the corner, and in that perfect moment, Tanner got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Of course, Lilli said yes! The moment was filled with love, laughter, and happy tears, made even more special by having both families there to witness it, surrounded by the people who have shaped their journey. It was a moment they will carry in their hearts forever, a beautiful beginning to the next chapter of their love story.
