Our story began in high school, Maine South High School to be exact. Each year we had countless classes together. It was the golden age of the 2010’s, so obviously we loved The Office. Dan always thought we were like Jim and Pam..best friends, who just understood each and who were secretly in love. Kendell never knew Dan liked her and vice versa.

Though we had grand plans to Skype after graduation, the distance between Chicago and Montana was far - until COVID hit 10 years later and we found our way back to each other and the next chapter began.

Our first date was a hike in Montana. Perfect for Dan but a stretch for Kendell who felt more at home walking down Michigan Ave. But on that hike we both fell in love all over again and knew we couldn’t let another 10 years pass without being in eachothers lives.

In 2021, Kendell moved out to Missoula and they started to build a life together. Mountains instead of a concrete jungle. Bike races instead of traffic jams. The fact that Kendell wanted to stick around and make Montana her home showed we had something special to pursue.

So we built a little “love nest” in a studio apartment above a laundromat and it was magical. Lots of fun, laughing, growing, crying and everything in between. We moved to a even better place, cultivated a community here and created a life that we truly love

And on December 3rd 2023 our love story continued when Dan proposed on a beautiful hike up Mt. Sentinel, a perfect symbol of how our love was reignited in 2020.

As we celebrate our wedding, we want everyone who is a part of our lives to feel welcomed and joy-filled. We’re excited for you to join us in creating a memorable day as we embark on this next chapter in our story.
