Our Wedding

As most of you know, we are high school sweethearts. Eight years later we're FIANLLY getting married! If you ask me (Emily), I'd say I instantly fell head over heels for Max. No literally, I ice skated into a wall on our first date. Through many high school dances, hair cuts, football games as player and manager, falling in love with Iowa City, living together through Covid, graduation and first jobs, we have truly grown up together. Through these years, we have always been each others rock, knowing what to say (and not to say), pushing each other to be the best version of ourselves, and always having each others back. We couldn't be more excited to start this next chapter of life together. Please enjoy our photos through the years to catch a glimpse into the early moments of this life long journey we've started together!
