Our journey began on a Summer night, June 15th, 2019, in Cedar Falls, where mutual friends brought us together. At the time, Brooke was preparing for her senior year at the University of Northern Iowa. Tommy was wrapping up his Summer master's class and getting ready to move back to Peosta, Iowa. Little did we know that this night would change everything.

With Tommy's friends still at UNI, he found himself returning frequently, and our connection continued to grow. By September 13th, 2019, we made it official. We supported each other through the ups and downs of college life and long-distance challenges. Tommy cheered Brooke on during her senior year on the track and field team, and Brooke supported Tommy as he navigated his career.

In the Summer of 2021, we took a big step together and moved to Ankeny, Iowa. This new chapter allowed us to explore new experiences, make new friends, and learn the joys and challenges of living together. We filled our days with laughter, discovering local restaurants and shops, and creating countless memories in our cozy loft.

On April 20th, 2023, we welcomed our first fur baby, Stella, and instantly fell in love with her quirky personality. She brought even more joy and warmth to our lives.

Ankeny quickly became home, and in June 2024, we bought our first townhome just minutes away from our previous place. It felt like the perfect setting for our growing love story.

On July 23rd, 2024, Tommy took Brooke on her favorite hike in Breckenridge, Colorado. In a moment filled with breathtaking views and pure love, Tommy proposed and they were officially engaged. As we prepare to say "I do," we look forward to all the adventures.

With all our love,

Tommy & Brooke
