Our Wedding

Our story started during the summer of COVID, when Megan was living at home in South Bend and Nate was stationed in St. Joseph. We met online and our first date, ice cream and a walk on the beach, set the tone for everything that followed: sweet and simple. Over the next couple of years, while Megan finished school at Indiana University, Nate made the drive to Bloomington nearly every weekend he had off. In the fall of 2022, Megan moved to Grand Haven so we could finally live in the same place, trading weekend visits for everyday life. We’ve since settled into Grand Rapids and are loving this new chapter together. Now, we’re counting down the days to the next big adventure on August 29th, 2026!
