Our Wedding

Laura and I met when we were sophomores in college at the University of Illinois. It would be another two years before we officially became a couple. After being casual friends for two years, I realized that I wanted something more. So I decided to go for it one night at the always classy Red Lion bar on the Illinois campus.Using the only pickup line I knew, I asked, "Where's your boy?" Luckily she told me she was single, and I would soon find out that she had a small crush on me since we met, so the feelings were mutual. We spent the rest of the night talking in a quiet corner of the bar, and the rest is history.

Our Story

Our first year together was our final year in college, and I feel so lucky that we were able to share a lot of those experiences together. From late-night study sessions at ACES library, to grabbing dinner on Green Street, to attending date events together, we experienced our final year side by side. We took our first picture together at a barn dance, a U of I staple, which was ironically also where we first met two years prior.It was at school where I was truly able to get to know Laura and learn everything about her which I soon would come to love. I would grow to enjoy her love for music (good music, not like the kind of music I was listening to at the time), her adventurous spirit, and her genuine generosity.

As we entered the real world together, our relationship continued to blossom and our love for each other got stronger and stronger. I met her amazing family who took me in like their own. We learned how to navigate adulthood together, supporting each other during the hard times and celebrating the good times. It has been exciting every step of the way, from going to tens of concerts every year, to skiing down the only skiable glacier in North America, to getting our first apartment together, to finally getting engaged on the London House rooftop. I feel so lucky to have a true partner to grow old with. I can't wait to see what life has in store for us in the future.
