Our Wedding

During the spring of 2023, Josie made the last minute decision to check a small box while registering for classes. This decision to be open to taking an emergency call to teach a year in a WELS school before her senior year at MLC changed everything. While in Argentina on a trip with MLC, Josie got notified she received an emergency call to teach at Divine Peace Lutheran School in Upper Marlboro, Maryland for the 2023-2024 school year. After prayer and deliberation, she accepted! Cooper was working in the Washington, D.C. area with the Air Force and attending a sister WELS Church. During the fall, Cooper hosted a Packer Party at his house where he and Josie hit it off. Shortly after the Packer Party, they started dating and seeing each other anytime they could. Together, they traveled home for Christmas, Pennsylvania for skiing, Shenandoah for hiking, and many other trips. After Josie finished teaching in May, they spent a lot of the summer together, including spending time in northern Wisconsin. Cooper proposed on the pontoon boat while watching the sunset on a beautiful August evening. Josie is currently at MLC completing her senior year. Cooper is working for GDIT in the Washington, D.C. area. After Josie graduates in Spring, they will move together to where she gets a divine call to teach.

How a checkbox changed everything:

Our Story

Photos

Josie met Abby her freshman year of high school. They continued to room together their junior and senior years and then most of college.

Abigail Winkel

Cooper and Augustin may have only met in 2021, but in that short time, they've become inseparable best friends. Their bond quickly grew as they traveled up and down the East Coast, sharing countless adventures. Their connection is proof that sometimes, the best friendships are the ones that come along unexpectedly. 

Augustin Kazakevicius

Abby and Josie became close friends sophomore year in college. They shared in many activities including a Daylight trip to NM, spring break in Italy, and the daily neglecting of school responsibilities to hang out together at MLC.

Abigail Kesting

Cooper met Nathanael when he had no place to put his head. Nathanael graciously let Cooper live with him the first month he was in Washington, DC.

Nathanael Dyjek

Becca is three years older than Josie thus setting an example for her in many of her decisions. Josie followed Becca's path to go to Luther Prep and MLC becoming a teacher.
