Nate attended Illinois Wesleyan University at the same time I attended Illinois State University. Sophomore year, a friend of mine asked if I'd be interested in a fraternity "date party" and showed me a picture of Nate and without hesitation, I said yes and here we are 7.5 years later! :) Since sophomore year of college, we've made the best memories including two trips to Europe, Nate's family's cabin trips, sports games, vacations to Florida, Nashville, Michigan, NYC, and Colorado to starting our careers in Chicago, moving in together, getting engaged, becoming dog parents to Augie, buying our first condo, to all of the in between! We are so excited for June 28th, 2025, and can't wait to celebrate our big day with you!
