We're getting married!

It all started with blizzards and burgers! We met working together at Dairy Queen — just two coworkers navigating the chaos of drive-thru rushes and ice cream machines. What began as friendly shifts filled with laughs and shared snack breaks slowly turned into something more. Over time, friendship blossomed into love, and somewhere between cleaning the fryers and stealing glances across the kitchen, we found our forever. From coworkers to best friends to partners in life — we wouldn’t change a thing.

On July 23rd, what started as a peaceful summer picnic by the river in beautiful St. Charles turned into the most unforgettable day of our lives. Surrounded by the quiet rustle of trees and the sparkle of the water, it was just the two of us — no big crowd, no cameras, just a private moment full of love. That’s when Chandler got down on one knee and asked the question that would change everything. I said yes (through happy tears!), and then immediately called everyone I knew — because how could I not share the best moment of my life with the people I love most?
