Reception

Karri has lived in Valparaiso for 22 years, moving from her hometown in Mooreland. Henry grew up in Dyer. After living in southern Indiana/Illinois area, he moved back to Dyer to be closer to family. We met on January 22, 2023. Thanks to Facebook dating. lol After dating for 2 1/2 years, we decided to get married! We had gone down to visit family on August 1, 2025. This is when Henry proposed. He made the proposal intimate by getting down on knee in the home Karri grew up in with all 3 of her siblings by her side. He surprised them all.....especially the bride to be!
