Before we ever met, Maggie’s paternal grandfather and Carson’s maternal grandfather were best friends. In fact, they stood by each other’s sides as the best men in their weddings - a bond that’s lasted a lifetime. So maybe it was always meant to be that we’d find each other, too.

We officially met in early 2018, and from the very beginning, something just clicked. Our connection was instant - a quiet knowing that we’d found our person, our home. We’ve shared the same values, dreams, and priorities since day one, and we truly bring out the best in each other. Where one of us lacks, the other steps in - always a team, always with the other in mind.

Over the years, we’ve walked through so much together: the joy of growth, the heartache of losing loved ones, nearly three years of long-distance dating, and the shared journey of starting and finishing college. But through it all, our love has remained faithfully guided. We’ve built something steady, something real - something centered in faith, hard work, and deep admiration for one another.

Most of our “dates” don’t look like candlelit dinners or nights out on the town. Instead, they look like working cows together, covering miles of pasture, running herd numbers, or pushing through freezing temps and snow from sun up to sun down. But for us, that’s the dream - building a life we love, side by side. It may not be glamorous, but it’s us, and we’re best when we’re in it together.

Along the way, we’ve added two of the best sidekicks: Knox, our silly Shih-Poo, and Oakley, our Aussie mix full of personality. They’ve been with us through the final stretch of college and the quiet, in-between moments – we can’t imagine our life without them.

We’re so thankful for the story God is writing in and through us - one rooted in history, faith, generations of love, and a whole lot of teamwork. We can’t wait to begin this next chapter as husband and wife and celebrate with all of you - the people who have supported and loved us every step of the way.
