Wedding Stories
GRACE & THOR Lakeside Beginnings How did you meet?
We met through a mutual friend who invited us both to his lake house for a summer weekend. From the moment we arrived, we didn’t leave each other’s side, and the rest is history. When did you get engaged? October 13, 2023 Tell us the proposal story. Thor proposed at the same place we would later get married, a year and a half later, at my grandparents’ family cottage in Door County, Wisconsin. Overlooking the lake and surrounded by friends and family, it was a perfectly intimate and meaningful moment. Tell us about your rings.
Thor designed my custom platinum Simon G. engagement ring with a radiant-cut center diamond flanked by tapered baguette diamonds. For his band, we chose a yellow gold design with a hammered finish and black inlays on each side.
JOY & CHARLIE One Year to Yes How did you meet?
We matched on a dating app. Charlie had just moved back to Green Bay after completing his master’s program, and I had recently returned home from Florida. Our first date led to one incredible year together, culminating in an engagement on our anniversary. When did you get engaged? June 6, 2025 Tell us the proposal story. Charlie told me we were stopping quickly before a family birthday dinner, but it was actually a surprise engagement party. He brought me to the St. Norbert campus, where we regularly attended Mass, to the Grotto of Our Lady, decorated with flowers, candles, and photos of our favorite memories. He asked me to marry him, I said yes, and then we celebrated with family and friends. Tell us about your ring. My engagement ring is a marquise diamond set on a gold band with a hidden halo beneath. I wanted something timeless and unique, with a simple, elegant touch.
