Our Wedding

How We Met Our story began at Western Michigan University in 2018. Amid the hustle and bustle of college life, our paths crossed, and a beautiful journey started. It was a serendipitous meeting that neither of us could have anticipated, but from that moment, our lives were forever changed. The Early Days We quickly discovered our shared love for new adventures and the outdoors, and many of our early dates were spent hammocking and going on nature walks around Kalamazoo . The more time we spent together, the more we realized how perfectly we complemented each other. From late-nights at the bars to exploring Kalamazoo, every moment was filled with laughter and connection. Building a Life Together After graduating, our relationship only grew stronger. We supported each other through career changes and in 2019 moved to Royal Oak together. In January 2021, we took an exciting step and bought a house together in Detroit turning it into a home filled with love and countless memories and faced life's challenges hand-in-hand. Each step brought us closer and deepened our bond. We've created countless memories, from visiting national parks, going to concerts and festivals together and to simple, everyday moments that make life special. The Proposal In 2023, Dustin proposed in the most romantic way. While traveling in Grand Cayman, Dustin got down on one knee during the sunset to pop the question. It was a perfect reflection of our journey together – filled with love, joy, and a touch of magic. Looking Ahead As we prepare to take the next step in our journey, we're excited to celebrate our love with our family and friends. Thank you for being part of our story and joining us as we embark on this new chapter of our lives. We can't wait to see what the future holds and are so grateful to have you with us on this special day.
