Emily & Hunter

Summer 2023 • Sioux City, IA

Our Story

It was February of 2018 during a Greek Life social when we first talked. We of course knew about each other since our mom's both grew up together in Broken Bow. Hunter said a quick sentence to Emily before getting nervous and scurrying downstairs. (Hunter gets nervous? Who knew!) A few weeks went by and we chatted off and on, realizing maybe there was a connection (or maybe Emily ghosted Hunter for a while?). We both didn't want to give our moms the satisfaction of connecting us. In April, Hunter decided to make things "official" and asked Emily to be his girlfriend. Since then, we have enjoyed many road trips, formals, graduations, and other adventures together. We are so excited to celebrate our wedding with family and friends from near and far. Thank you to everyone who has supported us this far in our journey!
