Wedding Party

Brody and Emma's love story began in the summer of 2020. The couple met through mutual friends and Brody's brother, Tyson. They quickly began dating and the rest is history. Both graduated from Detroit Lakes High School, Brody in 2021 and Emma in 2022. Brody began attending NDSU, and Emma shortly followed. After graduating from NDSU in 2024, Brody moved out to Pingree, ND for work, and after Emma graduated in 2025, she moved out there as well. In July 2025, on their 5-year anniversary trip, Brody asked Emma to spend forever with him, to which she said YES!!! Brody and Emma are so excited for their big day and can not wait to celebrate their love with each and every one of you!
