How did you two meet?
We knew of each other throughout high school, but it wasn’t until college that we really gave each other a chance. A big part of our love story was the Covid-19 pandemic. When the pandemic hit, we were both sent home from school. We were both back in our small towns, and that is when our story began. Though we faced many highs as well as lows throughout our relationship, love conquered all.
The Proposal:
Our proposal took place on my family land where we have always planned on building our dream home. We were surrounded by our friends and family, and it was the second most magical day of our lives (second to our wedding day of course.) Following the proposal, my family hosted an engagement party in our honor where we were able to celebrate with the people we love most.
Favorite Moment from the Big Day:
One of my favorite memories from our wedding day was walking out during the recessional to “Cowboy Take Me Away” by the Dixie Chicks. This was the same song that my parents walked out of their wedding to, and so it was just so special to me!
What You Are Doing Now: Connor works at N2 Grass Landscaping company, which is a family-owned business, owned by his father. I am currently in my second year of Graduate School. I am currently getting my master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology. We love our new little family.
