We matched on Bumble in December 2023 while we were both living in Arizona. We met for the first time at Fate Brewing, instantly hit it off, and the rest fell into place from there. As we got to know each other, we quickly realized how small the world really is. We grew up just two minutes apart in the same hometown, went to the same middle school, and discovered our families’ paths had crossed in different ways over the years — long before we ever met. It felt like there had always been an invisible string quietly pulling us toward one another. We officially started dating in March 2024, and before long, we became just as ingrained in each other’s families. From holidays and family gatherings to weddings and celebrations, meeting everyone felt natural and effortless. We fit seamlessly into each other’s lives, and it quickly became clear just how easy everything was — as if we had known each other forever. What began as a spark soon turned into a whirlwind romance. We traveled across the country together, shared countless adventures, and somewhere along the way realized we were building something truly special. And from there… the rest is history.

What an incredible journey this past year has been! Just two days after our magical engagement on December 14, 2024, I discovered that I was pregnant with our beautiful son, Cam, a revelation that filled our hearts with joy. I couldn’t wait to share the news, so I surprised Will a few days later, and we were over the moon together. As we embraced this unexpected adventure, we made the thoughtful decision to split our wedding ceremony and reception into two distinct celebrations. With a cross-country move from the sunny landscapes of Arizona back to the familiar charm of Minnesota ahead of us, followed by the arrival of Cam on August 21, we understood that planning a large wedding surrounded by all our loved ones would need to wait. We were so excited to get married that we couldn't wait another day, so we decided to plan the ceremony and save our reception for a later date. We exchanged our vows in a picturesque Airbnb nestled in the breathtaking mountains of Park City, Utah, on October 24, 2025. The setting was enchanting, and it truly felt like a fairytale. Now, with our hearts full and our family complete, we are devoting our time and energy to planning our long-awaited reception for June 6, 2026. We are filled with excitement and can’t wait to celebrate this beautiful chapter of our lives with all of you!
