Before they met, Emily and Ian were two young adults enjoying their college experiences at Bowling Green State University.

Once they met in May of 2017, they started a whole new experience, one that would begin the rest of their lives together.

Their first few months of bliss consisted of movie marathons, showing each other off to friends and family, and dinner dates where Ian confessed he thought Em was a messy eater (and she still is to this day).

One very rainy night a couple months later, in front of Em's college house after a hibachi date (which included an inevitable onion volcano snap story), Ian looked at Em and said "I'm in love with you." Those 5 words led to 6 incredible years of experiences, memories, and anticipation of the future to come.

The 6 years to follow brought many "milestones": two college graduates (2018 and 2019), their first apartment together on "Milestone" Drive (2020), Ian's career at The Hancock County Public Defender's Office as a Criminal Defense Investigator (2019), Em's career in Communications and Human Resources at National Beef (2018), and now at Betco (2023), their small, but energetic (to put it nicely) Australian Shepard, Archer (2020), their first home in Findlay, Ohio (2021), a proposal (2022), and a lot of adventures in between.

2023 has been a whirlwind of traveling, wedding planning, and the hectic life happenings of two adults in their 20's juggling work and home ownership.

Emily and Ian couldn't be more ecstatic for the journey to come, and are so lucky to have so many loved ones around them as they say "I do!"

The countdown to September 7, 2024 begins!
