We were introduced by a mutual friend (Thank you Maddie). Cory came to a basketball game with Maddie and she introduced them after the game. Rachel went in for a hand shake but Cory said, "I've been waiting awhile for this... I'd actually prefer a hug". They never looked back.

After a school year of hanging out, meeting friends, and making plenty more together they decided to make it official that following summer. They were going to see how the summer went being in different states, but they quickly decided that they didn't want to wait any longer. What they didn't realize was that those relationships, and their's, would be forever.

After five years of dating, Cory bought the ring and came up with a plan he knew Rachel would love. He proposed on a rented out rooftop with perfect summer weather in downtown Omaha where he popped the question and they enjoyed Rachel's favorite food (Burger and fries from Leadbelly) catered across town to them. Later Cory had all of their best friends surprise her and celebrate on the rooftop all night long.

Cory and Rachel cannot wait to tie the knot in September. The wedding is in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where Rachel is from, and where they are close to friends and family. They are so excited to have you all help them to celebrate their big day!
