Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Roger and Heidi’s paths crossed long before they ever realized they were destined for each other. Roger went to high school with Heidi’s brother, Kurt, and even lived with him during their college years. Over time, Roger grew close to all three of Heidi’s brothers, never suspecting that their little sister would one day become his future wife. Though they had known each other for years, it wasn’t until 2022 that fate finally stepped in. One night, Roger and Heidi ran into each other at OB Clark's, a favorite local spot for both of them, and that’s when everything changed. By August 2022, their connection blossomed into a deep love. Together, they enjoyed several Mizzou tailgates, family functions, and football Sundays, and cherished how effortlessly their relationship seemed to fall into place. Roger and Heidi share many passions, one of the biggest being their love for Columbia, Missouri, and Mizzou. So, it was only fitting that Roger proposed on Homecoming weekend at the iconic Quad, making the moment truly unforgettable. Now, they are excited to plan their wedding in the place that means so much to them—Columbia—where they will officially begin the next chapter of their lives together this summer!
