Our Wedding

We first crossed paths at Ripon College, where we both played the tuba in the symphonic band. Our connection was instant, and soon we were conversing over meals at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Aromas (which unfortunately no longer exists in Ripon). What started as a friendship blossomed into something much deeper, and before long, we were inseparable.After graduation in May of 2021, we took the next step and moved in together, finding a cozy apartment that became the heart of our new life. Our first apartment was a place where we truly felt at home, but we both agreed it needed a little something more...a furry friend. Enter Scout, our beloved cat, who brought even more joy to our little family.From there, our adventures only grew. We joined a coed soccer team with friends, hit the slopes in the winter, and spent our summers enjoying the water. With each passing year, we built a life full of laughter, love, and unforgettable memories.As our relationship grew, so did our dreams. We decided it was time to create even more memories in a place we could call our own. In September 2024, we bought our beautiful home, and It was here, in the comfort of our new space, that Nick made the most unforgettable gesture. With the help of a close friend, he crafted a stunning ring and proposed on November 14th, 2024—marking the beginning of our next great adventure together.We’re excited to celebrate this next chapter of our story with all of you!
