Our Wedding

Our Love Story

Where did we meet? Obviously, the one and only Bases Loaded in Omro. Darla frequented this tavern enough and tended to find E on one side of the bar or the other..... either getting in trouble for cooking up weird items that weren't on the menu, or grabbin' a barstool and joining in a game of bar dice. Our official first date.... Our first true date was to dinner and Funset Boulevard to compete at the highest level on every game possible, including the infamous game of Connect 4.&nbsp;This was no ordinary game of Connect 4, and Darla was getting crushed.... and didn't like it one bit.&nbsp;So E "let" her win a round.&nbsp;He claims if it wasn't for that act of selflessness, we wouldn't be where we are today. After that, E quickly became one of Tucker's favorite visitors and Tuck got pretty used to this guy being around. Darla was starting to fall for him too.... From there, our daily adventures have taken us through Christmas Lights, Wisconsin Herd games, too many golf outings to count, as much live music as Darla can drag E along to, trips to Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, and Minnesota, Easter Egg hunts, Packer/Viking games, volleyball leagues, kegball games, UTV rides, and everything in between. We've endured... the loss of Darla's hero, her Dad, in 2020 and the loss of our little Tuck Tuck in 2021. We leaned on each other through these hard times and found a trust and respect for one another, we didn't know was possible. In the last 8 years together, there have been surgeries, broken bones, multiple failed rounds of IVF, and one failed adoption... all leading up to the absolute dream of a lifetime - our little guy, Beau. Parenting together has grown our bond more than either of us thought possible. Both of us would say we couldn't have picked a better parent for Beau than we found in each other. In January 2022, E decided that he'd waited long enough... the ring was burning a hole in his pocket and he couldn't wait one more day. In our hoodies and sweats, cuddling our little guy on the couch, he got down on one knee and let the tears fall. Since then, we've gotten to see many friends get married and grow their families and now it's our turn to tie the knot!

This girl is the ranch to my hot wings, the lime to my Corona, and the piece of my life I didn't even know I was missing.  One wild college party led to my favorite lifetime friendship that I am so grateful for.  Our little guys are only a year apart, so we are loving raising them as best friends too!  

Jessica Clary

Cam has been my best friend since we graduated High School together.  From video gaming to bowling, finding the best and most interesting food around, we've done it all.  Late nights at Bases Loaded or in Las Vegas have been wild.  He's really the ultimate friend (when he's not hibernating) and I am proud to force him into making a speech because I couldn't imagine anyone else in that role today.  I can't wait 'til the day we travel to Japan together since that's been our dream for more than a decade.

Cameron Klapa

Everyone needs a Sue in their life, but you can't take mine.  She's been there for me through life's highs and lows, and always brings out the best in me.  She's my hunting partner, travel buddy, fun-loving always-up-for-mischief friend, and one of the most supportive people in my life.  And she just happens to be one of Beau's favorites (and E's too)!  There is no one else I'd rather call with happy news and no one I'd rather call in tears.  

Sue Bauer

I met Fields in High School and the rivalry started immediately.  After OHS, we worked together and pretty much did everything together 24/7.  Crashing at Delhi on the weekends was commonplace for about 2 years.  Since we both despise losing, betting on everything became the norm.  Anything from darts, pool, pong, bags - you name it, we've competed in it.  We've even started the now renowned "Man Contest", a "friendly" competition between our group of guys held annually.  Feel free to challenge him (and wager) on a game at the reception.... but word to the wise, you'll probably lose.  

Andrew Fields

This lady might be 10 years Darla's junior, but that just means she keeps her young.  She's always down for a good time, is my favorite drinking game partner, and will never pass up grilling up some hot dogs when the craving hits.   Her and Darla work together now, and are now unable to go more than a few days without feeling like they've lost their person.  And, she supports Darla's love of T-Swift ❤

Dezaree Rich

Another one of the "shop boys", E met Casey at Omro High School.  Honestly, he's partly the reason we're all celebrating in June, as he happens to be Darla's cousin and is how the two met.  At the time, the three of them called Bases Loaded home (R.I.P. Bases).  He's my favorite bags partner, an absolute pool shark, and someone who could tell way to many midnight adventure stories if you get him chatting.  His primary talent is his ability to recognize nearly any song playing at anytime, just please don't request "Footloose" from the DJ, or you'll get quite the show....

Casey Fink

Mel stumbled into my life at a time I didn't know that I needed anymore besties.  She is a burst of absolute chaos and I love every second of it.  Even though she's a shoe in for happy tears on any given drinking occasion, I don't think life would be the same without her constant unpredictability and laughter.  She's always my biggest competition and my biggest cheerleader.

Melissa Smits

Danny has become our golf team scramble backbone, and Darla and I rely on him on the course every summer.  He's quickly become one of E's favorite people and someone he can always rely on.  Contrary to everyone's beliefs, the two have "never had a bad idea" and probably have a 98% lifetime win rate as partners on any game..... according to them.

Danny Schultz

From Cabo San Lucas to Hilton Head Island - this girl and I never have a bad time together.  We've pushed each other to our limits through so many hours at the gym, and can always seem to find a local watering hole for girl chat and of course, margaritas.  Jenna is the definition of dependable and a much needed sense of comfort in my life.  

Jenna Noffke

Continuing on with the shop boys, Gooch is another one of E's high school friends.  Although it didn't make sense since he lived a block from school, he would drive all the way across town everyday to pick me up.  He allows me to hunt at the best spot on his family's land during deer hunting..... even if it's taken me a couple years to hunt down a buck.  He's an overall genuinely nice person and loyal to a fault.  He's been a staple in my life for as long as I can remember.

Garrick Garvens

Jackie is my first phone call when I need "Boy Mom" advice and always keeps me in check when I feel like I'm failing.  I'm constantly looking to her for the next best book to read, because believe me, she's read them all.  She always has solid Fantasy Football suggestions and hosts a killer draft for our Turtle Gang League.  Watching our boys grow up together has just been the icing on the cake of our friendship!

Jackie Kinderman

Matt came into E's life while working at the one and only Bases Loaded.  Although Matt is a young pup, they became close bonding on their experiences dealing with the Bases clientele.  Matt can be a hard nut to crack, but if you bother him enough, you'll have a great convo on any topic under the sun.  Oh, and he's a proud pilot now, quite the upgrade from Bases bartender!

Matt Hess

This gorgeous lady is our favorite little girl around.  Maybe she'll throw some flowers, maybe she won't - either way, I know she'll steal the show 😍 

Scarlett Fink

Bobby is the perfect man to deliver the rings to us in style on our day!
