We are so excited to celebrate our wedding with all of you! Our story began long before we started dating—we’ve known each other our entire lives growing up together in our hometown of Wauconda, Illinois. We officially started dating on December 31, 2017, and over the past eight years, we’ve built a life filled with love, laughter, and shared dreams. On May 23, 2025, Chase planned an amazing surprise weekend and proposed in Lake of the Ozarks, MO. This destination holds a special place in our hearts as we’ve spent many family vacations there soaking up the sun and beautiful scenery. It was the perfect location for one of the biggest moments of our lives. We celebrated our engagement surrounded by family, enjoying boating, dinners, and—most of all—quality time with our loved ones, just as we had always imagined. Now, we’re counting down the days until we say “I do”—exactly one year after that unforgettable weekend. We feel so lucky to share this next chapter with the people who mean the most to us. Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to share the most important day of our lives with you!
