From the beginning, we got to know each other while traveling to Florida with mutual friends. We survived 22 hours in the car, navigating and keeping each other awake with endless conversation through out the night. After a classic spring break week and a missed flight home, we knew we didn't want it to end there. Fast forward 7 years later, a few more flight mishaps, and we still love exploring the world together! From spring break in Cancun, roadtrips to Denver, Laker games in LA and weekends in Austin, we couldn't get enough. Wanderlust set in and abroad we went - knocking out Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Spain, and France on our European tour in 2016. And it didn't stop there! A trip to Hawaii in 2017 introduced us to island time, and we fell in love. The fresh food, ocean waves, good vibes and peacefulness are unlike anything we've experienced and we can't wait to share the Aloha Spirit with each of you! A·LO·HA: A catch-all word of good intentions and feelings. Used as a greeting or parting, but also means love, affection, kindness and goodness. Nothing gets better than that, right?! With no distance too far, we most recently set our sights on Japan. Mike planned a perfect trip during Cherry Blossom season, and it's symbolism of new beginnings took on a whole new meaning for us. One our 3rd day, in Ueno Park, Toyko, we set up our own hanami (cherry blossom viewing) picnic underneath a thousand cherry trees and Mike pulled off the most magical proposal! The rest of the trip was absolute bliss, surrounded by the kindest people, exotic foods and ornate history. When we thought of our wedding, we couldn't picture kicking off our next chapter anywhere else but Hawaii. We would love nothing more than to share it with each of you, who have been there all these years to help create many of the memories that we are so fond of! We may love to travel but our hearts always reside in Milwaukee, and we will also be hosting an at-home reception to celebrate.
