We first met in April of 2022 where we had our first date at Emmet's Brewing Co in Palatine, IL. We immediately connected over our love for the outdoors. We quickly learned that our values, aspirations and goals for the future were completely in align with each other.

The year following we spent our time meeting each others friends and family, spending time in Wisconsin either at the cabin or on the farm, rock climbing, camping, soap-making, and enjoying our family outings.

In March of 2023 we decided to take a trip to Breckenridge, CO for a weekend in the mountains skiing. Upon getting to top of the mountain, Dj got on one knee and popped the question. Now getting down was the real challenge! That's a story for another time...

We can't wait to celebrate with you at our wedding in June!
