Our Wedding

Emily and Isiah’s story began long before their first date—back in Cub Scouts, when Emily’s dad was the leader of the troop that both Isiah and her brother were in. Neither of them knew it at the time, but they always carried a little crush for each other. Years later, Emily asked Isiah to “hang out” with her and some friends at the local coffee shop. Little did he know, her friends had a plan to leave them alone. Soon it was just the two of them, sitting close while Isiah proudly scrolled through every single photo on his camera roll. Emily ended up on his lap to “see the pictures better,” and after the grand tour of his phone, they just looked at each other… and she went in for the kiss. Over the next six years, Emily and Isiah filled their days with hikes, movie nights, and cozy evenings snuggled up on the couch. There were adventures both big and small, trips that became cherished memories, one infamous golfing date where Emily accidentally whacked Isiah in the face with a golf club (he forgave her quickly!), and countless little moments that made their love grow stronger. During those years, life also brought challenges. Isiah left for the Army while Emily stayed behind to finish college. The distance wasn’t always easy, but it proved what they already knew—that their love was strong enough to handle anything. As the saying goes, absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Their story came full circle on a hike near the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin. Emily was sweaty, tired, and definitely not expecting a proposal. Isiah asked her to sit for a picture, then told her to take one of him. When she turned around, there he was—down on one knee. It was perfectly them: unpolished, a little unexpected, and absolutely full of love. Emily and Isiah are ready for their greatest adventure yet, being together forever.

Our Story

Photos

Lexi and Emily met way back in elementary school at Leroy's softball field. Although we both decided neither of us were cut out for softball we became close friends all through high school bonding over our love of musicals, food, and art. College kept us 200 miles apart but we both made an effort to see each other and catch up over Mexican and margs. Life is never a dull moment with us especially when we went to a sip and paint and got yelled at for talking. Outside of being Emily's ride or die, I like to craft, read, and play with my dog!

Maria is one of Emily’s older sisters and has loved watching her grow from the day she was born. Sharing a room for many years gave them countless memories, like the time Maria convinced Emily and her friend that she could talk to ghosts just so they would agree to take a nap. These moments helped shape a bond filled with laughter, mischief, and love. When she’s not playing guitar or spending time with her two gray cats, Maria brings her lively spirit wherever she goes and is thrilled to celebrate Emily and Isiah’s big day.

Delaney and Emily go way back, all the way to preschool! Their friendship started in the classroom but grew even stronger during endless Barbie adventures in the basement, complete with dramatic storylines and lots of giggles. Delaney is beyond excited to stand by Emily’s side on her big day. Fun fact: she played five years of college softball, so you can bet she’ll bring her game-day energy straight to the dance floor!

Rachel met the bride during their sophomore year of college, and they quickly became inseparable. They shared a house, TV marathons, craft nights, and more grocery store runs than they can count. Favorite memories include finding a bird in the basement and accidentally keeping a look-alike cat until the real one came home. Outside of those adventures, Rachel loves crocheting, cross-stitching, and spending time with her two beloved cats

Eli met Isiah back in preschool when their parents set up playdates, and they have been close ever since. One of his favorite memories is a trip to Door County with Isiah and his parents. When he is not working or hanging out with friends, Eli enjoys hunting. He is proud to serve as Isiah’s best man and to stand by him on the big day.

Enrique and Isiah met while stationed together at Fort Hood, where they quickly discovered they would also be roommates. What started as shared living space turned into a strong friendship built on countless workouts, video game sessions, and unforgettable moments. One of their most memorable stories still gets a laugh today when Isiah  managed to lock himself out of his own room.

Simon has known Isiah for as long as he can remember, and their friendship has been built on years of shared jokes and late night adventures. One of his favorite memories is playing poker together at scout camp and trying to keep a straight face through every round. When he is not hanging out with friends, Simon enjoys gaming. He is grateful to stand by Isiah on such an important day.

Melody is Emily's niece and the flower girl for the big day! Some of her favorite memories include going strawberry picking with Aunt Emily and giggling as she shoved a strawberry into her mouth. She also loved hanging out with Isiah in his Jeep's hammock and eating his perfect pudgy pies by the camp fire. Melody can't wait for the wedding and is especially excited to have another uncle!
