Wedding Day

Our Wedding

We met the old-fashioned way… on a dating app. Our first date was at Proof in Midtown, and it didn’t take long to realize we had more in common than just swiping right. Between laughs, shared stories, and a mutual love for Omaha and the Outer Banks, NC, it was clear we had found something special.Fast forward to a trip to Colorado, and the tables turned. I got to plan a total surprise at Dream Lake in Estes Park. With the breathtaking view as our backdrop, I popped the question, and thankfully, the answer was “yes!”

In His Words

On our first date, it was clear we had great banter and conversations flowed effortlessly. However, Eddie leaned back in his chair so casually the entire time I wasn't sure if he was really into it. Even the bartender told me he couldn't tell!4 years later I think its safe to say he was, but I'll be paying close attention to his posture on the day we say 'I do'.Thanks to Eddie, we've lived downtown together since summer of 2023. I can't believe how much I love it here and that it took so long for me to appreciate this part of our city. On a free evening you can find us enjoying a walk with Doug through Creighton's campus, grabbing dinner at our favorite restaurants in the Old Market, or sharing a bottle of wine or some seasonal beers on our patio that faces the skyline.Saying yes when he proposed was a no brainer - a total shock because he pulled off the most gorgeous proposal ever in a tiny amount of time - but I've known that would be my answer long before he asked.

In Her Words

Our Story

Photos

- Best friend since the 5th grade, if Nebraska recognized common law marriages we'd be celebrating our 18th anniversary and Eddie would be SOL -  

- Traveled to France and Switzerland with me last minute  - 

- Has an instagram algorithm so niche I never know if the DM she just sent will be memes about friendship set to a Taylor Swift song or a step by step tutorial on how to make your shadow look like a frog

Megan Solomon

-  My little sister in our sorority and that's it  -  
-  We lived in the same apartment building for a year (chaos ensued) -  
-  Is a ChatGPT super user and has it trained so well it curates her outfits, recommends the perfect pieces to redecorate her apartment, and suggests the perfect cocktails and activities for our themed monthly sleepovers

Jenna Hannibal

-  Sorority sister turned best friend turned eye doctor (still best friend)  - 
-  We have a shared love of a cooking competition reality shows, and competition shows, and reality shows  -   
-  Was known for a very long time for having the smallest TV known to man. Now known for keeping the protective wrap on her 'new' TV purchased in 2023. Maybe she and her scratch free television will get the last laugh someday

Kristen Green

- Met at beer olympics, bonded at The Homy Inn, added her to our group text, and the rest is history  -  
-  Invited myself on her trip to Hawaii and have zero regrets  - 
-  Is the coolest person I know. When I think of cool stuff I think "oh this is so Laura". Seriously I can't believe she actually puts up with me as her friend when she could be out there being cool with other cool people because she is so cool

Laura Dueland

-  Cousin since she was born, sister since we realized the boys had us way outnumbered  - 
-  My dad had to pick us up to take us to her own wedding reception because the party bus broke down  - 
-  At her bachelorette party in 2021 we met Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, and other players for the Brooklyn Nets and the bartender put like 3 rounds of premium tequila shots on their tab for us - she was the real superstar on that rooftop

Emily Wasinger

-  Introduced through Edward and her husband, Jerry (or did we introduce them?) - 
-  Has a black lab, Phoebe, who is the only other dog I've met that rivals Doug's insanity  - 
-  Approximately 3 weeks before Taylor Swift's last concert in Toronto, Megan and I convinced an inebriated Cassie to buy plane tickets to join us, steal Eddie's ticket to the show, and share a tiny futon with Jerry. Worth it.

Cassie Bosanek

Cousin by birth, best friend by choice — and the undisputed Midwest ambassador for the Dave Matthews Band. If you hear ‘Ants Marching’ at the reception, you’ll know exactly who requested it.

Ethan Baumgartner

Met through Ethan and became close thanks to a shared sense of humor (and probably a few bad jokes). He’s also the guy who, right before our Colorado trip, said, ‘You know where the perfect place to propose would be?’ — and, well, the rest is history

Nate Cox

Friends since middle school, united by sports, food, and the fact that we were a little chunkier back then. Some things never change — like our love for snacks.

Jerry Bosanek

Introduced by Ethan, bonded instantly over Creighton Basketball, and collectively terrible at golf — proving that some things are better left to the pros

Harris Ramm

Older brother, quiet but always watching out for me. Big KU fan, and apparently my doppelgänger — so yes, if you see him at the reception, you might do a double take

Brandon Ahlstrom

My little brother: all energy, all chaos, all heart. Basically, the guy who makes sure we never have a dull moment

Coltin Ivester

Brother of the Bride, though I've never lived down that I was born so close to his birthday that I ruined it forever -- He and Eddie's offices basically share a parking lot so they see each other all the time! -- Perhaps our biggest argument was when I asked someone else to buy me beer when I was underage and he was very offended that I didn't ask him first. I didn't need him having any leverage on me 

Jared Dingwell

Brother of the Bride - and I may have ruined Jared's birthday but just ask my mom how much I thought Baby Benny ruined my LIFE --  I was a Groomsmaid in his wedding and wore a tux -  stay tuned to see if you'll catch him in a gown for ours! -- Throws an absolute rager of an Ugly Sweater party each December with my sister in law Lindsay and this year I'm convinced they rigged the games so I would lose since I've dominated the past 3 years.
