Our Wedding

John and Valerie met as many couples in the 21st century meet, through online dating. When they connected on Bumble, it quickly became clear that they had a lot in common. John and Valerie first met at Perc Place in Hartford, WI and closed down the quaint little coffee shop. They then proceeded to basically walk the entire town of Hartford getting to know each other, ending with some ice cream. Through the years John and Valerie have had many adventures. From getting to know John's large family, to Valerie's drastically smaller family, everyone has been so warm and welcoming through it all. They have traveled to Chicago, Colorado, the Dominican Republic, Arizona, and California. Checked off a few NFL stadium tours, have had many a battles over their Packers and Vikings rivalry, explored lots of good breweries, and have eaten a large amount of chicken wings through the years. Valerie always joked about wanting a Kate Middleton type of wedding (on a budget of course). And on March 12th 2024, John took her to the most beautiful, literal castle winery in Napa Valley and proposed on top of the castle's tower. John stated, "while I may not be able to give you the Kate Middleton wedding, I can at least give you the castle proposal." And down the rabbit hole of wedding planning they went! We cannot thank you all enough for your love, encouragement, and support not only on our wedding day, but throughout our entire relationship so far!
