Hi! It’s Reese and Mason, and this is our story!

We both grew up in Springfield, and, despite attending the same schools, we didn’t meet until 2018 when we had a math class together. It wasn’t until 2020 that we started talking, and eventually began dating in August of that year. Our first year together was full of school dances, vacations, and concluded with the gift of a promise ring on our one year anniversary.

Our second year together consisted of many soccer games, even more vacations, and a lot of life changes. Mason started working full time and Reese began college. On Christmas of 2022, Reese received her second promise ring.

In 2023, we adopted our first born, Maverick the Ausidoodle. We’ve had so many moments that became memories we’ll always hold close. We didn’t just grow on our own—we grew together, and every step made our bond even stronger. In 2024, we moved in together and Mason knew it was time to give into Reese’s wishes and propose.

So, the planning of doing the absolute impossible (surprising Reese) began. Mason designed the ring, brought in family and close family friends as his accomplices, and a plan was devised. On March 22, 2025 Mason proposed to Reese and surprised her with an engagement party that same night. Reese finally got to book the wedding venue she’d had picked out for over a year.

Now, as we plan for the future, we’re so excited for what’s ahead. Whether you’ve known us since childhood, watched our friendship grow, or been part of our story as a couple, we’re grateful for every moment that led us here. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you on our very special day!
