Our story technically started in June 2018 when Ryan and Trenna met on Tinder and had the world's WORST first date! If you're lucky, you'll get to hear more about it in the Maid of Honor's speech at the reception! However, this was our first photo together taken when we met friends for dinner at one of our favorite places, Full Mile Brewery!

Our first Valentine's Day together, Ryan surprised Trenna by showing up to her classroom with a beautiful bouquet and lunch for her and her teaching team! Ryan know that Trenna's favorite flower was orchids...but he didn't realize how expensive orchids in a bouquet would be. Talk about commitment!

Ryan teamed up with Maid of Honor and Trenna's roommate at the time, Syd, and threw the best surprise birthday party for Trenna!

We spent our first year together doing all kinds of fun things like Concerts on the Square, Mallards Games, trying all kinds of restaurants and breweries, and lots of movies!

After a whirlwind Summer, Ryan ended up moving in with Trenna and not even a week in they traveled together to Los Angeles to visit Ryan's sister, Grace! It was our first big trip together!

Our first professional photo!

For our 1 year anniversary, we traveled to Los Cabos in Mexico. We enjoyed the beach, drinks, sites, and had an AMAZING time!

Covid and the extra time at home led us to seriously start looking to adopt a dog. We weren't entirely sure about the small brownmin pin that the rescue sent us, but figured we'd at least go meet him. After 20 minutes with this shy guy, he was asleep in my arms and even let Ryan pet him (a feat if you know Bandit!). Then and there is was a DONE DEAL and Bandit joined our family!

Our 2nd anniversary was celebrated covid-style with a quick weekend getaway to Milwaukee. We enjoyed good food, great brews, and time out of the house!

Our first thanksgiving as a family of 3!

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!

We love being "Auntie Tren" and "Guncle Ry" to our favorite little girl, Kaia! You can spot her as the Flower Girl and her mom as our Matron of Honor!

Ryan and I are so lucky to have found such community, family, and faith in our church. We love serving on the Kid's Team on Sundays together!

We started off 2023 with a visit to Phoenix to visit bridesmaid, Kyra and her husband, Matt.

The morning of the our engagement day. Ryan was barely eating his breakfast and when I asked him why he said his stomach wasn't feeling great. Turns out, he knew what he had planned and was nervous! I, on the other hand, was oblivious!

Engagement Day! Ryan completely surprised me in our home. It was so special to celebrate this moment together in our home with Bandit, to kickstart our official life together.

More engagement pics because Ryan was SO thoughtful! Shout out to our friend Sam who helped him pull off the surprise!

Engagement Day! Our friend Sam hid in our stairwell to get these photos!

We celebrated my golden birthday in the best way we know how - a gold party!

One of several weddings we've attended together!

Had to capture a moment at one of our venue meetings!

Engagement pics featuring the star of the show, Bandit.

Our favorite way to hold hands...usually because Trenna's are sweaty!

Taking part in each other's family traditions has been the best! Trenna has been learning and perfecting her lefse making skills with the Schock family each Christmas.

Our 5th anniversary and first anniversary engaged!

Crossed off a bucket list item for both Trenna and Ryan! We traveled to Waco, TX to see all things Magnolia !
