It all started with a chance encounter, so rare that we laugh about it even now. We met in September of 2024 after I had been in a bad accident, and Mike, being Mike, wanted to make sure everyone was okay. Although we didn’t know it at the time, it was the beginning of an incredible journey. At first, it felt like a simple connection — a casual conversation, some shared laughs, and a spark we couldn’t ignore. But little did we know, it was the start of a love story we would cherish for a lifetime. From the very beginning, we realized that we complemented each other in ways we never thought possible. We both hate asparagus... but aside from that, we enjoy most other things, like hunting, fishing, and hiking, as well as the occasional thrifting trip to Kansas City. Another big part of our lives consists of babysitting our good friends' kids in exchange for some of the best smoked food around. You know who you are. ;) As the days turned into months, we discovered more about each other — not just the little quirks and inside jokes, but the deeper, more meaningful parts of ourselves that only the closest people get to see. Through all the ups and downs, we’ve always been there for each other, building a bond based on trust, respect, love, and, above all, faith. We’ve shared countless memories, from snowmobiling at Grandpops, driving around blaring our favorite songs, and getting our bowling game to a T, to the quiet, everyday moments that have made our relationship feel like home. Whether we’re laughing, talking about our dreams, or just sitting in comfortable silence, we know we’re exactly where we’re meant to be. Now, we’re taking the next step — together, hand in hand, ready to begin the most exciting chapter of our lives. Our wedding isn’t just the celebration of a promise to each other; it’s a celebration of everything we’ve been through and everything we will continue to share. We feel so incredibly blessed to have found each other, and we can’t wait to share our special day with all of you. It’s because of you, our family and friends, that our journey has been even more meaningful, and we are so grateful for the love and support you’ve shown us. Here’s to love, laughter, a lifetime of memories, and a strong bond in our faith. We are so excited to begin this next adventure as husband and wife.
