Some love stories start with a grand gesture. Ours started with skis, snowboards, and a guy in jeans. We were introduced by two of our best friends, Mikayla and Brendan Coy, and our very first date was a group snowboarding trip to Tyrol Basin in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, in early January 2021. Nolan showed up in jeans instead of snowpants, and I couldn’t stop laughing — but in the best way. It was adorable, unexpected, and somehow totally him. Somewhere between the chairlift rides and snow-covered wipeouts, I got butterflies. I remember wanting the lift ride to last longer, just so I could keep talking to this guy who was playing it all very cool. Over the years, we’ve built a life full of laughter, love, and a deep friendship that keeps getting stronger. We’ve grown together, supported each other, and found joy in all the little moments. Now, in the same month and the same town where it all began, we’re getting married — and we can’t wait to celebrate with the people who’ve cheered us on along the way. Thank you for being part of our story.
