Our Wedding

Jacob and Katelyn initially met one another while attending school at Springfield Elementary. Later, they attended Platteview High School together; however, they ended up in different classrooms for the majority of their schooling and never had the chance to get to know one another. In fact, it wasn't until 3 years after they both graduated high school that they finally reconnected in November of 2021. Katelyn initially reached out to Jacob, and they discovered that they were both obtaining their bachelor degrees from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The two spent a lot of time together, but it wasn't until December that Katelyn finally decided to "make the first move" by nervously holding his hand. In January of 2022, Jacob asked Katelyn to make things "official." On August 12th of 2023, Jacob proposed to Katelyn in the Hamann Rose Garden. Shortly after, the two began planning their big day. They are so excited to celebrate their love together, and are incredibly grateful to have friends and family supporting them in their long life journey together.
