Christian and Stephanie met in the 6th grade. Though they went to different schools, shared friends and a town of 20,000 meant you knew pretty much everyone.

A combined high-school brought them together, where their relationship began to develop. They bonded over English Literature and Christian's math knowledge. A friendship was built that eventually turned into a love story.

High school ended and college was a new chapter in their lives, both personally and in their relationship. Christian attended the University of Minnesota, while Stephanie was at Minnesota State University, Mankato. They grew to navigate the long distance, but distance made the heart grow fonder. Their studies brought them both to Europe, for a semester abroad where their love traveled with them around Europe.

College graduation brought law school for Christian and a graduate program for Stephanie, both now in Minneapolis.

A shared love for adventure and traveling meant a move to Chicago in October of 2016, where they finally decided to take the next step and will continue their journey as husband and wife.
