In August of 2014, before knowing each other, we signed a yearlong lease in a duplex home for our upcoming school year at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. Jillian a sophomore, and her friends lived in the lower unit while Jeremy, a junior, with his friends in the upper unit.

Move-in day arrived, and tensions were already high. The boys signed a lease for the lower unit and came to find out the girls did too. A mistake by our (not) favorite Milwaukee landlord. The girls "somehow" weaseled their way into the spacious bottom unit, while the boys were left with the less attractive upper unit. Tensions were quickly gone when Jillian & friends met Jeremy & friends in the dark and dirty shared stairwell. Jeremy was very excited to learn a pretty blonde girl with blue eyes was living in the same home. Jillian was excited that the average looking boys upstairs seemed fun and didn't give off "creeper" vibes. Quite the first impressions!

The school year went on, Jillian & Jeremy became close friends, and secretly started crushing on each other. Whether it was Pantherfest, running into each other between classes, or the Milwaukee Bucks game, we knew something was brewing in every moment we shared. On St. Patrick's Day, March 17th of 2015, we made our relationship official. Well at least that's what we tell people, there's no official date. We spilled our feelings for each other sometime in March, spent the following few months going on dates, and one day realized we had no dating anniversary. Deductive reasoning landed on St. Patrick's Day, how can you forget it??

More than 8 years later, we've shared so many special moments together including renting an apartment overlooking Lake Michigan, adopting our cat Paisley, graduating college, moving to Minnesota, traveling the country, starting our first "adult" jobs, and buying our first home.

Although we have already had so many special moments together, we are most excited to start this next chapter of our lives as husband and wife. We look forward to sharing this special time with our friends and family.
