Our love story began when we met through our two best friends, Melissa and Miranda. We were both included in their wedding party in 2018. We shared many experiences together as just "friends" including shows, football games, lake days, meeting for beers, fishing, dinner with friends and family and more. From those experiences our friendship grew to love. We are thankful to have met in such perfect circumstances that our lives simply fell together. We got engaged January 2020, bought a house together December 2020, and our next adventure together is marriage! We are blessed and excited for this journey.

Nathan planned a trip to the snow with Melissa and Miranda. I was told we were adventuring with them to take maternity photos since Melissa was 38 weeks pregnant at the time. Nathan borrowed his dad's truck to get us to the top. The way up the mountain was naturally stressful. I tried to forfeit the snow adventure multiple times and urged Nathan to FINALLY "put the chains on the truck!" Once we made it to the top, we hiked up a slight hill to get to the lookout spot. (I was confused as to why someone 38 weeks pregnant would be willing to do so...but up we went!) After taking a few photos of Melissa and Miranda together, we traded places for a quick couples photo before the hike back down. While Miranda snapped a picture, Nathan got down on one knee and proposed to me with his Nana's ring. There were tears of joy and champagne! We made several phone calls and celebrated with friends later that evening.
