Our story began back in July of 2018, the summer before our sophomore years of high school. We were eagerly introduced to each other by our friends Grace Bauder and Mason Rozeboom, who insisted that we’d hit it off. After lots of texting and some successful dates, we decided to officially call each other “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” in September of 2018. Since then, we have grown together through adolescence and early adulthood, sports seasons and job changes, busy semesters and bustling summers, family growth and difficult loss, lifestyle shifts and necessary transitions, and countless events in between. We were engaged on May 24, 2025 after a surprise picnic lunch date and can’t wait to be married on July 31, 2026!
