We went to our first high school dance in the spring of 2016. Kyle swore that he would never go to a high school dance ... Mallory made him go to five.

We graduated from Pleasant Valley High School in May of 2017. Go Spartans!

We decided to make the big decision to go to different universities to pursue our undergraduate degrees. While apart, we kept in contact through nightly Facetime calls and frequent visits to each other's campuses.

During college we still found time to see each other on breaks. Our favorite places to visit together are Clear Lake IA, Park City UT, and Birchwood WI

And just like that, 4 years flew by! Kyle graduated from the University of Northern Iowa and Mallory graduated from the University of Iowa. We love celebrating each other's accomplishments!

Then the big day came! Kyle decided to propose to Mallory on his birthday in 2022. He popped the question on the bridge next to the Iowa River Power restaurant. Mallory happened to capture the exact moment when she knew something was up, as seen on Kyle's "poker face".

If you've been keeping track, that's a grand total of 8 years of dating! I think it's safe to say we like each other a little bit. It's been a long time coming but, we are so excited to celebrate our wedding day with you!
