Our Wedding

Our Story 

It all started in 2017 at Northern Michigan University, where we both happened to live in Hunt Hall (BEST HALL!). We became friends first - bonding over shared classes, hallway chats, and a love for being outdoors. What started as a great friendship grew into something more as we spent more time together.   Our first date was a bike ride to Presque Isle and we officially started dating on April 1st, and while the timing might’ve made it feel like a joke to some, we knew it was the real deal.  As college went on, so did our love for the outdoors hiking, biking, snowboarding, and just being outside together. In 2020, as Nate finished his final year of school, Emily headed off for an internship in Minnesota. Between summer jobs, school breaks, and big moves, we spent about five years doing long distance, learning how to grow together even when we were miles apart.  In 2021, we took a long-awaited road trip out west to visit two national parks a reminder of how much we love exploring new places side by side. In 2022, Emily made the big move down to Illinois, and for the first time in a long time, we didn’t have to say goodbye after a weekend visit. We bought our first home in July 2023, and just a few months later, added a four-legged member to the family when we got our first dog in September.  Then, in 2024, during a trip back to where it all began, Nathan proposed on top of Hogback Mountain in Marquette (one of our favorite hikes!)  We’re so excited to take the next step in this journey and can’t wait to celebrate our wedding day with all the people who’ve supported us along the way.
