TLDR: "We met through friends!"
Brian and Stephanie met in early 2015, through friends!, and were good friends for years before they had the space to realize that more than just friendship might be in store for them.
While hanging out one afternoon back in 2017, Brian was humming a song and he sang a lyric from said song. Little did he know that it was one of Stephanie's favorite songs and, to his surprise, she finished the lyric! (The lyric was: "
We'll ditch the car in Wisconsin and hide out in the trees. And I know a dude in Madison who owes some favors to me." Bonus points to you if you know the song without looking it up.) It was the small, cute spark they needed and next thing they knew, they were on their official first date!
Since that first date, they've spent countless hours strolling with Winnie through Milwaukee - Lake Park is their favorite and is where the website's header photo was taken, migrated to the East Side to move into their dream home, travelled the world, and discovered their mutual love for Mexico City... among many other things.
After seven years of friendship and love, they can't wait to start this next chapter of their lives, surrounded by all their favorite people, at their wedding in Milwaukee!
