Our Wedding

Doug and I met 6 years ago through Ashlnn (my college roommate, and Doug's now sister-in-law). We constantly made googly eye's from across the room when seeing each other at the kid's birthday parties, the races, and other family/friend events. We met at Clem's for a double date in 2017, where we soon hit it off and became really good friends. We continued to be friends but knew that with school, work, and distance anything more than that would be difficult at that time. Fast forward to July of 2020. I was with Ashlnn celebrating her bachelorette party, while he was celebrating Kurtis's bachelor party. We reached out to each other discussing the celebrations and realized that we were able to pick up right where we left off. We continued to talk from morning to night for days. I made a trip home to visit him from Omaha In August, and soon after he asked me to be his girlfriend. We continued to do distance for a couple months, until I decided to move back home to be closer to him. We continued to grow and blossom as a couple. We truly enjoyed life and continued to explore it together. In March of 2021, we added Milo to our family. The craziest chihuahua/lhasa apso mix, but the cutest little boy we could have asked for. In June of 2021, we purchased our first home together. In December of 2021, Doug asked me to spend forever with him, by placing a bandana on Milo that read "Will you marry my dad?" And the rest is pretty much history. Of course I said YES, and we celebrated by me having to be at work in 45 mins LOL. We can't wait to celebrate the beginning of our forever with all of you. See you soon!
