Meet us in Milwaukee

We technically met in 8th grade, though Emma has no memory of it (rude). We crossed paths at Shorewood High School but didn’t become friends until senior year. The turning point? The afterparty of senior prom at Emmett’s cottage in Belgium, Wisconsin, where we discovered we got along suspiciously well. From there, we stayed close through our first year of college, even visiting each other at school. That summer, after months of "just friends" denial, we finally gave in and made it official. Seven years later, with our dog Bruce by our side, we got engaged at that very same cottage where it all started! Now we live in Chicago with Bruce, and regularly laugh at our early attempts to play it cool. Because, spoiler alert, we’re getting married!
