Our Wedding

Dylan and Alli met on April 29th, 2023, at a bar called Fozzy's in Loves Park, IL. They talked, laughed, joked around, and played a couple rounds of darts to help break the ice of getting to know each other. After that night, they really liked each other, so they exchanged contact information and decided to go on a first date together just a few days later.

The day we met... At a Bar

From doing multiple adventures and road trips, such as tubing up in Albany, Wisconsin, to doing day trips in Galena, Illinois, to camping and hiking at Devils Lake State Park in Baraboo, Wisconsin or to traveling down south to Ashland, Kentucky, to see Rock the Country Music Festival, a lot of time was spent getting to know each other and see our relationship grow.

The Adventure Continues....

In April 2024, Dylan had to move away from Illinois to Michigan because of his new orders from the military, so they had to adjust to the challenges and lifestyle of being in a long-distance relationship that neither of them wanted to experience.

The Long-Distance Journey

Dylan proposed to Alli on April 27, 2025, off a boat dock looking over Lake St. Clair in New Baltimore, Michigan and she said YES!! We can't wait to celebrate with all our family and friends and look forward to our future together!

The Proposal!! ♥
