Our Wedding

A mutual friend introduced us to each other during the fall of 2023 - our first meeting was with a group of friends at Mexican Village. In October of 2023, we had our first date at the Tavern in Fargo. We officially started dating on December 12th, 2023. After dating for a little over a year and a half, we got engaged on July 20th, 2025!

(Shout-out to Connor, the Best Man, for hiding in the bushes to get these photos!)
