Our Wedding

Some love stories begin in unexpected places, ours started on the very first day of college. In August 2020, we met during freshman orientation at Marian University. We were assigned to the same GEN 101 group, not knowing that our lives were about to change forever.From the start, there was an easy connection, comfortable, natural, and filled with curiosity. Our first date was as spontaneous as it was simple: breakfast at Chick-fil-A in Appleton, Wisconsin. It wasn’t fancy, but it was perfect, just the two of us, laughing over breakfast and feeling something new beginning.As the seasons changed, so did we. We grew together and faced the ups and downs that come with growing up. In November 2021, after our first real argument, we discovered what love truly means. Instead of walking away, we leaned in. We chose to understand each other, to communicate, and to grow stronger, together.One of the things we cherish most about our relationship is how we bring out the best in each other. We are independent people with our own passions and dreams, but when we come together, we’re even stronger, a true partnership.On December 28th, 2024, while surrounded by the people who love us most on a family cruise aboard the Celebrity Equinox, Steven made the moment unforgettable. As dessert arrived, he got down on one knee and asked the easiest question I’ve ever answered. The sun, the sea, and the joy on everyone's faces made it absolutely perfect.Now, we can’t wait to celebrate our next chapter, side by side, hand in hand, with all of you by our side.

Our Story

Photos

Hailey has been by my side through so many of life’s moments, and I truly couldn’t imagine this day without her. We met in college, and from the very beginning, she became my day one and best friend. What started as a friendship quickly turned into a bond that has carried us through every season of life.

Whether it was navigating college together, late-night talks, or just doing life side by side, Hailey has been such a constant in my world. She’s not only my best friend, but also someone who has supported me endlessly, made me laugh until I cried, and always been a source of love and encouragement.

I’m beyond grateful to have her standing beside me on this special day, just like she always has.
