Our Wedding

How it started...

Mason and Abby got to know each other during the fall of 2021 as they were hired to work on the same Residence Life staff at Concordia University Wisconsin. They grew closer as friends that school year through many early morning trips to CycleBar and lots of fun events their staff worked on together. They kept in touch the whole next summer while Mason was working at Camp Lutherhaven. They (finally) started dating at the end of September 2022. Mason proposed on April 27th of 2024 at Upper Lake Park in Port Washington, WI which is one of their favorite spots that overlooks beautiful Lake Michigan. Abby thought she was going to her birthday dinner a few days early until Mason surprised her after a whole day of fun. Both Abby and Mason's parents were hiding in the bushes to celebrate right after. Mason made the day perfect and they were able to share that night with their closest friends.

Favorite Memories

Abby's favorite memories with Mason so far have been time with family in Fort Wayne and in Missouri and their first date when they talked for hours on the bluff at Concordia. Mason's favorite memories with Abby have been all of the road trips, Abby introducing him to lots of new places to eat, and getting to spend lots of time together going on walks!

These people listed here are truly the best (we may be biased). We are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends and having them by our side at our wedding is such an honor. About Abby’s side: Its rare to have friends that you have had since early grade school, but I am so blessed that Grace and Lizzy have been with me since then. Grace and I met when we were only in the 1st grade at Upwards Cheerleading (IYKYK) and reconnected a few years later she started going to Child of God with me in the 4th grade. We have been glued at the hip since! Lizzy and I have been friends since we were toddlers! Our moms met when they went to a Bible Study together before we were in school. High school brought me both of the Emilys and sweet memories along with them. Emily Langston and I met through Grace in high school and I have not found anyone else who loves a good snack or a deep chat like she does :) Emily Fleener and I bonded over choir, and everything musical theatre in high school and every time we see each other we pick things up right where we left off. Concordia brought me Katy and Gloria who have had the front seat into Mason and I's relationship. Katy is one of the greatest things Concordia brought me and I truly would have never made it through college (especially choir) without her. I also was so blessed to spend all 4 years of college with Gloria and I am so grateful I have an excuse to see her fairly often since her and Mason are both from Fort Wayne! Finally, God knew I needed sisters, and he definitely knew one of them had to be Rhaya. She welcomed me right into the Kaschinske fam and is such a joy to be around. I thank God for these ladies and the way God has blessed Mason and I through them! -Abby About Mason's Side: I have been incredibly blessed by the relationships that I've made during my time in college. Knowing Josh, Grant, and Gabe since my freshman year of college, and getting to know them better and better over the last five years has been such a joy. They have all played a major role in a majority of my best college memories and they are a pleasure to be around. I got to first meet Gideon when he was leading a bible study on campus, and when I had the opportunity for him to be my roommate, that was an easy choice to make! I've been super blessed to get to know Andrew and Aaron during the time that Abby and I have been together. They have been so welcoming and are a joy to be around! Caden is always there for me when Abby and Grace are talking about something and I have no idea what's going on. Seth is an incredibly friend who, no matter how many times he destroys me in pickleball, will never make me feel THAT bad about it! Finally, Landon has been my favorite brother for as long as I can remember! Whenever I need a wrestling partner in the kitchen, a good laugh, or to have a serious conversation about things, he's always there. I'm so blessed to have all of these men standing by me because they are some of the best examples of what it looks like to be a good Christian man and I can't express enough how grateful Abby and I are for them! - Mason

Places to Stay

Historic Main Street is a popular spot for shops, food, history, and much more!

Historic Main Street St. Charles 

Frankie Martins is an awesome spot that has food trucks and space to hangout all while in the middle of Cottleville which features some of Abby’s favorite places, Legacy Park and Upshot Coffee.

Frankie Martins Garden

Yes, this is a gas station. For our roadtripping folks! This is a MUST. Especially if you are from Wisconsin and think that Quick Trip is misspelled here. The best snacks and drinks, Mason's favorite is the soft pretzel.

QuikTrip

This is a STL staple! There are many locations all around the area.

Imo's Pizza

This is the best coffee shop in town, they have another location in St. Charles :)
