Our Wedding

Jared and I went to separate schools before going to the same middle school starting in fifth grade. “Not going to lie, I did have the biggest crush on Jared, I even went with my aunt and uncle to my cousin Carter’s basketball tournament so I could see Jared and watch him ball it up.” Simply stated middle school sweethearts. In 5th/6th grade art class we sat in a group of our friends where we would jam out to plenty of Kesha songs while flirting with each other. We always used to make eyes across the room during band and would have entire conversations simply by mouthing the words to each other and laughing while trying not to get caught by the teacher. We logged thousands of late night hours having conversations over FaceTime on our IPod Touches and millions of texts exchanged on my Motorola slider phone and Jared’s Trac phone. We spent plenty of nights watching movies/talking/laughing/and cuddling in our parents basements (my brother, Reese, either sitting between us or “playing with tractors” in the next room because he thought Jared was so cool) and plenty of practice with Jared driving and me copiloting with Jared’s sister, Josie, in the backseat picking the music. We truly have grown up together from going to middle school together, cheering one another on at high school sporting events, starting college together in Oshkosh, commuting back &amp; forth from Madison to Oshkosh, moving to Madison and starting a life together. First date, first kiss, first love, true love, best friend. We cannot wait to finally get married after 12 years together.

Our Story

I had finally accepted that we wouldn’t get engaged for at least another 2+ years. The plan was that we were going to the Edgewater for a fancy birthday dinner for Jared. We arrived early to find parking then walked around looking out at the lake. Eventually Jared brought me out to the center, grabbed both of my hands and his voice started shaking so I knew something was up. When I saw the photographer he hired behind him I knew what this was but was still in disbelief. I’m still disappointed that I never even shed a tear despite Jared having prepared a pocket full of tissues for me. Looking back I should have known something was up as Jared had been bugging me to paint my nails the entire day before (but didn't suspect anything as I usually paint my nails at the absolute last chance-like 5 minutes before leaving or right before bed so they get smudged) so I didn't think anything of it.
