Our Wedding

I guess you could stay it started with a hostess cupcake and a year of strong friendship. We met in the dorms while we were both attending UW-Platteville. On Rowan's 20th birthday, one of his suitemates decided to invite Katelynn and her roommate down from fourth floor to third floor to celebrate Rowan's birthday with him. Katelynn believes everyone needs cake on their birthday, even if they are a stranger so she grabbed a Hostess cupcake from her stash of snacks to bring down with her. Rowan came back to his dorm after getting something to eat and Katelynn immediately shouted happy birthday and forced him to take a the cupcake. From there we slowly got to know each other and became really close friends. We ate a lot of campus lunches together for about a year. The following year is when friendship just morphed into something more and we became even more inseparable. You always hear how some things just click, how some things just work out and that is how it was since we met. We both graduated from UW-Platteville in December 2017 and worked hard to hunt for careers that would allow us to stay together. We landed in the Fox Valley area of Wisconsin where we have been since. Christmas lights have always been a big part of our Christmas together and this year (2020) Rowan decided to make it just a little bit more special. Due to timing and walk through lights being cancelled in the Fox Valley, we did a scavenger hunt driving around to find Christmas lights from the list. At one of our last spots, Rowan surprised Katelynn with one item not on the list and made her his permanent Christmas lights date. Katelynn was surprised and let's just say did not react as well as they do in movies but never the less beyond happy and excited.
