Our Wedding

Wyatt and Emily started dating June 27th, 2017. Shortly after we started dating, we had to go our separate ways off to college. Wyatt was off to NDSU in Fargo, ND and Emily went to WSU in Winona, MN. Six hours and many miles apart. After a year of long distance, Emily transferred to Minnesota State University of Moorhead. We went from 6 hours apart to 6 minutes apart. College was filled with lots of homework, going to school events, driving 3 hours home to visit, and figuring out how to be an adult. Some highlights of our Moorhead/Fargo years were hanging out with each other's friends, getting a pet bunny named Cheez-it, moving in together and just exploring the area together throughout the years! Through these first few years of our relationship, we already made so many memories together and had grown so much. But with the good times, always comes the hard times, too. In March of 2021, Emily lost her mom. Wyatt was nothing short of being right by her side through everything. This was a challenging time, but Emily is forever grateful for Wyatt's never ending love and support. During the past couple of years, we realized we are meant to be together more than ever. In November 2022, we moved back to Minnesota and bought our first house together! We live in our home with our beloved dogs, Olive and Zoey. We (or should I say Wyatt) have been doing lots of renovating and love seeing the house slowly become our home. On April 29th, 2023 we spent the day in the cities. While out and about, unknown to Emily, our families helped Wyatt set up the house for his proposal. When we got back, he proposed to Emily and she (obviously) said yes! Let the wedding planning begin!
