Our Wedding

Towards the end of the school year last year, I decided that I wanted to make the most of my summer by creating a "Summer Bucket List." I thought that my list would realistically be left mostly undone, but I wanted to do as much as I could. In May, right before summer started, I met Nathan. Little did I know that by meeting a guy for the "Taste of Maplewood" festival, I'd be signing myself up for a summer of adventures. Nathan is a planner. With his work schedule being less than ideal, he tries to fill his free time with as many activities as possible so that he can experience as much as life has to offer that he can. When we met and I talked about my summer bucket list, I didn't realize that I would be giving him a road map to a summer full of adventure date days. Between seeing as much live music as possible, going hiking, axe throwing, mini golfing, exploring new restaurants, and going to as many festivals as possible, I couldn't help but fall hopelessly in love with this man that showed me that princess treatment isn't just in movies. By the time summer ended, we had gone on many day adventures and a trip to Texas so that we could visit his family. With Nathan behind the wheel and me navigating the music and snack breaks, we perfected our travel buddy responsibilities and planned a few more trips for the fall. Being able to navigate multiple road trips together without filling the trips in disagreements and arguments, we knew that this relationship was what we had been looking for. A few months later, we went on a getaway trip to Frankenmuth, Michigan. During that trip to the adorable Bavarian community, Nathan asked me to spend the rest of his life with him: How could I say no? Now we are preparing to have the wedding of our dreams surrounded by God and our loved ones. We cannot wait to celebrate our love story and the start of our biggest adventure with all of you.

Our Adventure Began...
