Cole and Ema met in February of 2024 by using the app, Tinder. They matched while Ema was in Sioux Falls, South Dakota for a girls trip with Katrina and Kendyl. Once they finally were able to meet in person, it was love at first sight. That night was full of uncontrollable laughs and getting to know each other. Once Ema had to return home to Iowa, they both were determined to make a long-distance relationship work.

They officially began dating, and started to make the nearly 5 hour drive both ways almost every weekend. Although the weekends were amazing, being able to spend time together, the weekdays apart were sometimes hard, but they made it work. As the love for each other began to grow, so did the mileage on their vehicles.

Cole and Ema have made many adventures throughout their relationship, by traveling to Custer, South Dakota, Montana, a Vikings Game, Kansas City, Cole teaching Ema to drive equipment on the farm, and visiting Ema's family lake property. Their biggest adventure was when Cole moved down to Iowa and they found a house to live in together near St Marys.

In the past couple of years, their time together has been amazing, full of laughter, love, and unforgettable moments. They are so excited to begin this next chapter in their lives as husband and wife!
