Our Wedding

Wendell and Emily both attended Concordia University in Seward NE, one day on the way to football practice Wendell noticed Emily doing drills on the sidewalk with her teammates. Wendell being a shy guy didn’t talk to Emily for months; she didn’t even know who he was, on December 12th, 2019 Emily was leaving the cafeteria when Wendell decided that it was time to talk to Emily (finally), she held the door for him as everyone does at Concordia. They engaged in some small talk and exchanged phone numbers and have been talking to each other every day since then.After Emily graduated college Emily got a teaching job and the couple moved to Pawnee City, Nebraska. After starting this new chapter in their lives, Wendell thought it was time for a special date. Wendell took Emily to get her nails done and told her that they were going to go somewhere special tomorrow and to pick out a nice dress. The next day; July 26th, 2023, Wendell took Emily to Sunken Gardens which is one of her favorite places, and proposed to her under the gazebo. To her surprise, Emily’s family and her best friend along with Wendell’s mom on FaceTime were there to join in on the exciting event.Since our engagement, we have enjoyed engaged life and planning our wedding. We are looking forward to our special day surrounded by our family and friends.
