Tim and Carolyn's love story began in Champaign, IL, where they met while pursuing their bachelor's degrees at the University of Illinois. Their journey together has taken them across the country—and even to the other side of the world! Their relationship grew as Tim's education continued in Champaign and Carolyn’s education led her to Boston and eventually all the way to Guatemala. After returning stateside (and bringing back a street dog named Jackie), Carolyn and Tim moved in together, ready to begin the next chapter of their lives. To propose, Tim planned an unforgettable surprise—a trip to the stunning island of Mauritius. On a hike to a secluded waterfall, with a photographer capturing the moment, Tim got down on one knee and popped the question. Carolyn said yes! Now, we can't wait to celebrate this next milestone with all of you in Milwaukee.
