We’re getting Married

Our story does not really have a beginning. The two of us have know each other for most of our lives, due to our Noelke and Schneider grandpas being best friends and connecting our families. We distantly grew up together, attending the same schools, but not knowing much about the other. However, one fall night in La Crosse, Brandon (only a sophomore at the time) needed a ride home from Aquinas after a late volleyball game. Ryanne (being a junior with a license) and trying to set up one of her good friends with Brandon, jumped at the opportunity to drive the two home. Shortly after this night and a couple conversations later, Ryanne received a snap chat from Brandon saying, “let’s snap streak.” He really has a way with women. Ryanne somehow found this charming and we started talking more and more. Eventually Ryanne got so lucky again to be asked out by Brandon saying, “Guess what? Wanna date?” Such a charmer. But saying, “yes” to that was the greatest decision Ryanne has ever made. After many great high school years together of going to prom, watching each other succeed in sports, and countless other memories, Ryanne graduated high school and attended UWL. A year later Brandon graduated and attended Saint Mary’s. There we also had many great years together traveling, cooking ramen for each other, spending so many hours at the baseball field, and more. Once we graduated college, we moved out to sunny Colorado where we spent the last year enjoying life together. From many 5 A.M. wake up calls for ski days, to traveling to as much of the state as possible, to taking our pup Koda on countless adventures, we fell in love with the state and each other even more. We got engaged up at Ryanne’s parent’s cabin shortly after moving back from Colorado. Brandon pulled off the engagement by not only running a half marathon, but by ending it with our entire families hiding in the cabin to run out and surprise us as well. (Also thank you to everyone involved for making that so special for us by traveling to it). Now we are planning our wedding and we are so excited to be sharing our day with all of you soon, in beautiful Pepin, WI. As we mentioned earlier, our story does not really have a beginning, and now it will never have an ending.
