We cannot wait to celebrate with you!

Our Wedding

Shane moved to Milwaukee in 2016 after graduating from Ohio State University to pursue his engineering career with General Mills. Allison moved to Milwaukee in 2018 after graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison after getting a job in her field of public health. Both Midwest raised with a love for dining, socializing, traveling, and exploring, the stars aligned, and they met on January 4th, 2019. They officially started dating a month later on January 30th, 2019!

How it began

Our Story

Met Prentis in Milwaukee at General Mills, and we've never looked back! Thankful for his genuine soul and "down-for-whatever" attitude. 

Prentis

We met through gymnastics in middle school, but became best friends and inseperable in high school through Arrowhead gymnastics. Thankful for having such an understanding and compassionate human being by my side.

Amanda

Moved in with Niko's family in high school. Goated memories on the football field and up at the house. Thankful for his kind heart and willingness to try new things with me. 

Niko

Best friends since middle school after fangirling over the Jonas Brothers. From college roomies to now long distance, I can always count on her to pick up the phone. Thankful for her advice and empathy. 

Amber

Met at Ohio State and spent multiple years rooming together. Huge part of my life and helped shaped me into who I am. Thankful for his caring heart, his passion for travel, and for always loving me for me.

Roger

As my older sister, she has always protected me. From swinging on our swing set as kids, to attending the same college, and living in different states throughout the years, she is there through all seasons of life. Thankful for her strong-mindedness, caring nature, and making me an aunt!

Samantha

College roommates and engineering study buddies at Ohio State. Thankful for his family-first mindset, late night talks, and rock-solid character.

Tess

Met Taylor through Aaron after college. Instantly connected through Tequila shots and plane tickets. Thankful for his YOLO attitude, loyalty, and just being an incredible person.

Taylor

Met in grad school in Minnesota, and instantly connected after attending a football game together. Our long study sessions would always turn into Love is Blind gossip. Her compassionate and caring personality makes everyone feel at ease. 

Emily

I met Aaron freshman year at OSU. Lived across the hall and we were NBA2K fiends together. Thankful for our "pick-up-where-we-left-off" friendship for life.

Aaron

Met in Milwaukee in 2019 through Shane. You can catch us on a boat, trying new food, or talking about upcoming trips we have planned. Thankful for her love for life and making everything fun.

High school friends for life. Been there for each other through all the ups and downs. Thankful for his constant check-ins and giving me the honor of being his daughter's godparent.

Another great option is the <a href="https://www.referyourchasecard.com/19n/2WD5CPNYD8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chase Sapphire Preferred</a>!

You can also set up flight tracking through <a href="https://hopper.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hopper</a> and <a href="https://www.skyscanner.com/?&amp;utm_source=bing&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=US-Travel-Search-Brand-Skyscanner+Only-Exact-MIR&amp;utm_term=skyscanner&amp;associateID=SEM_GGT_19370_00018&amp;msclkid=00b6822df523123a9314e47c1b088e50&amp;gclid=00b6822df523123a9314e47c1b088e50&amp;gclsrc=3p.ds" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sky Scanner</a>. Start checking early and often. Flight prices can drop dramatically within a week sometimes! Historically mid-week flights have been cheaper, but it is not always the case. Please book what is best for you, your schedule, and your budget! We also highly suggest flying in a few days before the wedding fun begins. Adjusting to the time change can be very hard on the body! They are 7 hours ahead of US Central Time.

This will not only help us plan, but can also help others connect if they want to travel together :)
