Our story began in 2017, when Ethan sent me flowers on Valentine’s Day to get my attention. Life pulled us in different directions for a little while, but in 2019, we found our way back to each other—and we’ve been together ever since. We both grew up in the same small town and even went to high school together. Ethan graduated in 2021, and I graduated in 2023. During those years, we spent countless hours side by side—me cheering on the sidelines while Ethan played football and wrestled, and him supporting me through cheer. Those days built the foundation of our relationship, one filled with love, laughter, and teamwork. In 2021, we welcomed our first puppy, Miles, who quickly became our sidekick. Two years later, in August 2023, we bought our first home together and added Maisy to the mix. By June 2025, we couldn’t resist expanding again, this time with two sweet kittens, Milo and Murph. Our little family has grown so much, and our home is full of love (and a little bit of chaos!). On August 5, 2024, Ethan asked me to marry him, and of course, I said yes to forever with my best friend. Since then, we’ve been busy making more memories—going to Royals games in the summer, riding the motorcycle on warm evenings, and just enjoying the simple, everyday moments together. We are so grateful for everyone who has been part of our journey, and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you on our wedding day!
