WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!

Wisconsin is where they both grew up; Nathan in Florence, WI and Carly in Evansville, WI. Nathan went to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO, before coming back to UW-Madison for his masters. Carly attended Edgewood College and went to England for a year. During that time, received a Design degree and minors in Photography and Psych. And then they met...Nathan and Carly met in Madison, Wisconsin while both attending university in December 2014, a semester before they both graduated. After a month or so of convincing Carly to go out with him, Carly finally decided to meet Nathan one evening for a drink. They couldn't stop talking, one of them rode a mechanical bull at the bar and the night came to a close. They met again the next day for a second date at the Brunch Club. Over blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes, Nathan & Carly started to fall for each other and they've been so in love ever since.

Nathan received his orders to Sheppard AFB for ENJJPT pilot training in 2015, he left after graduation and Carly followed shortly after. During this time, Carly decided to start Carly Nicole Photography and worked in Marketing. They were stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Tx for about two years! During Nathan's class 17-01 drop in October 2015, they found out that Nathan will fly the F-16 VIPER. They moved to Holloman AFB in Alamogordo, New Mexico for continued training for the year of 2017. Carly continued photographing White Sands sessions and started teaching English to Chinese children. They also adopted Stella, who loves long walks and playing all day! While awaiting the next permanent station of duty list, Carly kept wondering what the chances were that Truax Field - Madison, WI would be on the list. Nathan said it would be the dream, but doubtful and no chance. Wouldn't you know it.... Truax Field- Madison, WI was on the list! They delightfully took the assignment, after a dice roll and moved back to Madison, WI. They just purchased their first home together right outside of Madison in Sun Prairie, WI, where they will live for the next three or so years and they are just about to get their 2nd puppy named Piper in the middle of May (It's a Corgi)!

During a trip to San Fransico and Napa Valley, Nathan planned to pop the question. They enjoyed donuts in San Fransico, yachting around the harbor, food tours, wine tastings, and finally, it was the day he proposed. Nathan planned the perfect day with a trip to the nail salon, next up was a gorgeous wine train ride and stops at some wineries. They then went to dinner, where Nathan planned to propose. Giving the camera to someone to take a photo, he had a sign held up in the background of the photo with "Will you marry me?" on it, she looked at the camera and photo, then he got down on one knee and proposed. She said yes!

Nathan and Carly would love to share the joy of our wedding with you on Friday, July 20th, 2018. They have tried the best donuts, the most delicious foods, tasted the wine, picked the venue, prepared every last detail and after months of planning, it is going to be the best day ever and you're invited!
