Our Wedding

It all started in 2016 at a house party in La Crosse. Phil was DJing in the corner, and Kayla sparked up a conversation. One show invite later, and the rest was history — or maybe destiny. Our first official date was at The Waterfront, but by then we were already friends — comfortable, connected, and quietly falling for each other. After graduating from UW La Crosse, we moved to Madison, where Phil later left for California to chase his dream in music production. Kayla stayed, waited, and cheered him on, because that’s just who we are: always in each other’s corner. Through long distance, two beloved cats, countless concerts, and one Packers vs. Cowboys bet (Dad’s still waiting on that steak), we built a life full of laughter, music, and love. In 2023, we bought our first home together in Janesville — and in Lake Geneva, after 8 years (and a little hinting), Phil finally popped the question. Kayla said yes — and then forgot to eat her brunch from all the butterflies. We’ve shared so many chapters together — and we’re so excited to begin this next one, surrounded by the people we love most.
