It all started the way many great 21st-century love stories do: a follow, a like, and a DM. We met through social media in the summer of 2023 and instantly thought the same thing — wow, this person is ridiculously attractive. (We’re not even being dramatic.)

A week later, we were officially dating. Yes, it was fast. No, we don’t regret a thing. When you know, you know — and we knew.

By November, we were engaged. Brian proposed during what Molly thought was just a cute couples photoshoot. Plot twist: it was actually the most perfect surprise proposal. She had no idea — her friends didn’t know, she didn’t know, and she usually knows everything. But somehow Brian pulled it off (with a little help from our families, who were all in on it).

These days, we live just outside of Marshalltown, Iowa, in our cozy little fixer-upper — a home we're renovating together, one DIY project (and Home Depot run) at a time. Life here is sweet and a little chaotic, thanks to our two dogs: Boyd, the golden retriever with a heart of gold, and Bailey, the mini aussie doodle who’s small but mighty.

We’re so excited to start this next chapter as husband and wife, surrounded by the people (and pups) we love most. Thanks for being part of our story — we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
