Our Wedding

Registry

Our story began at the University of Iowa, where we both found ourselves in the trumpet studio. But it was marching band that truly brought us together. What started as a shared passion for music soon grew into a deep friendship. We spent countless hours rehearsing, performing, and cheering each other on, and before we knew it, we had something truly special. On June 18th, Cole took me back to a place that had been a huge part of our journey together—the old Voxman building. It was there, surrounded by the memories of our college days, that he proposed. The moment was perfect, and we couldn’t be more excited to begin this next chapter together. After our engagement, we moved to Waverly, Iowa, to start our teaching careers as music educators. We are so grateful for the chance to build our life here, and we’re excited to continue cheering each other on through this next chapter Now, as we approach our wedding day, we can’t wait to celebrate with all the people who mean the most to us. Our love, our friendship, and our shared journey have brought us to this moment, and we’re thrilled to begin this new chapter surrounded by the people we care about most. Thank you for being part of our story.
