Our Wedding

And then we matched....

Stephen &amp; Molly were students at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater but never met until over a decade later when they matched online. Their first date was at a place that locals call the "Tiki Bar" in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee. For hours they chatted under ambient&nbsp;lighting and drinks. It was love at first sight!

See more of their engagement photos on their Photo page!
