Emily and Greg met on a dating app in May of 2023. Greg noticed that Emily's profile said she was an Iowa Hawkeye fan, and Greg, being from Bettendorf, Iowa and huge Hawkeye fan himself, messaged her.

They began chatting through the app and eventually through text and phone calls. Their first date was June 2 at McGurk's Irish Pub in Soulard and then some frozen custard at Ted Drewes. They continued dating and became a couple on July 3.

Emily and Greg continued to grow together, enjoying St. Louis Cardinals & Blues games, traveling to Kansas City to see Billy Joel (a shared appreciation), and getting to know each other's families.

Greg proposed during their trip to Key West in March of 2024. Of course, Emily said "YES!" and the rest is history!

Emily and Greg are eager to start their life together and will reside in the St. Louis Area with Addie & Grace - and pups Rosie, Bruno, and Scout.
