Of all places to meet, Michael and I met on the dart board at Kellys Bar in Oshkosh. Alyssa (Bridesmaid) and I would run the dart board whenever we went out & play for drinks... Michael worked up the courage to ask if he could have the next game. That night, Michael vividly remembers telling his Uber driver that he "met the love of his life tonight." He messaged me quite a few times before I finally worked up the courage to visit him in Ripon.

There had been some invisible strings for a few years prior, between Michael and I...

Early in college, I would practice golf in the summer at Reid in Appleton. When Michael lived with Eric (Groomsman) in Appleton, he claims to have seen & known "that blonde golfer" was me.

When I was out in Milwaukee for Jennys (Bridesmaid) 21st birthday, Michael was also out with Zach (Groomsman) at the same bar we happened to be at. Although he didn't work up the courage to approach me there, he can still recall exactly what I was wearing that night.

Michael and I started dating shortly after meeting in June of 2020. He made the trips up to Appleton, and I made the trips down to Ripon to spend our time together. We were planning on moving to Arizona fall of 2021, but made the decision to stay in WI as Michael supported my dream career. That career brought us to Woodbury, MN April of 2023. Through this move we learned its not the place, but the people. We are lucky to be surrounded by some of the most amazing people, and I would say we're pretty lucky to have each other as well (& of course Mocha).

We've waited two years to celebrate this day, and cannot wait to have you there to celebrate the start of our forever!
