We met in high school almost 10 years ago—Noah was a senior, and Caroline was a junior. Their first date? A Royals game, where Noah, with all the confidence of a teenage heartthrob, asked Caroline out. The night took an interesting turn when, as Noah was dropping Caroline off, he ran into her dad, Nick, hanging out in the garage with a cigar and some music. Needless to say, Noah was a little nervous, but he stuck around—so we knew he was a keeper. Despite long distances, separate colleges, and even the challenges of COVID, Noah always made sure to visit Caroline, no matter how far apart they were. After Caroline graduated from Missouri State in 2022, she moved back home. Fast forward to February 2023, and they welcomed Plaza, an 8-year-old Wheaten Terrier, into their family (thanks to Noah losing a bet to Caroline). In September 2023, after nearly seven years of laughs, love, and dodging Nick’s intimidating dad vibes, Noah proposed to Caroline at Loose Park. And now, we’re excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
