We’re Getting Married!

It all started when we were babies. Fred’s sister and Rachel’s brother are the same age, so we all had plenty of play dates! Fred was one grade below Rachel in school, so we didn’t see each other very much…until high school. One day in June, Rachel (somehow) convinced Fred to go kayaking with her. This was our first time hanging out, and obviously we really connected. A few weeks later, Fred (somehow) convinced Rachel to ride in the tractor with him while he was round baling hay. We officially started dating on September 2nd of 2018. We have both grown and changed a lot over the last 7 years, and we are excited to continue growing with one another. December 11th, 2021 we (Rachel) got a puppy, Hazel. She has been the light of our life the last 4 years. May 5th of 2025, we closed on our first home together. We did A LOT of renovations on this home, but now it is perfect and everything we had hoped for. Fred proposed in our (unfinished) kitchen. It was the most perfect way to start our engagement. It caught Rachel super off guard. 2025 held a lot of growing memories for us, and we can’t wait to begin our marriage June 6, 2026!
