Twelve years ago... TWELVE YEARS?! Yes, we started dating in December of 2013, at the ages of 14 and 16.

Picture this: it’s September 2013, and we’re in pottery class, seated serendipitously next to one another. Day by day, we both slowly prioritized talking to each other during class over caring about the pottery assignment at hand.

Eventually, Craig mustered up the courage to ask Sydney out for ice cream. She said yes, with one condition: he had to pick her up because she couldn’t drive yet. (Spoiler alert: that ice cream trip turned into 1.5 years of being Sydney’s unofficial chauffeur until she turned 16. Thanks, Craig. ;) )

Since that first date, we haven’t looked back. Through every phase — high school, long-distance college years, a move to central Wisconsin, raising our pup Arya, and now living in the Twin Cities... the one constant has been us.

We’ve always known the life we wanted was one built together.

For the past 12 years, we’ve dreamed of this day: our wedding day. A celebration with all the people who’ve been part of this ride with us. We cannot wait to celebrate with you all.

Here’s a little peek at the memories we’ve made so far...
