Since 2013, our love and bond, rooted in fate, built on family, is unbreakable. We choose each other, always.

Our story began in Portage, WI, in the summer of 2013. Joe worked scaffolding at Alliant, and I was bartending at The Shamrock. He'd come in for lunch, and those visits turned into long talks. We bonded over shared stories of crazy childhoods and late night chats. One night, I quit on the spot, walked out, and he was on the other side of the door. He grabbed me, kissed me & smiled. From that moment on, we’ve been inseparable. It wasn’t luck or a mistake. It was just 100% meant to be!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?All our memories are my favorite, but the night Joe proposed stands out most. It was August 2024, and we were on a family vacation in a literal treehouse! I had no idea what was coming. While relaxing by the fire pit with our kids and dogs, he got down on one knee and proposed (after 11+ years together)! He had even called my dad to ask for his blessing and asked my son if he was okay with it. My son is over 30, so that made it even sweeter. It was the most memorable, perfect evening ever!
What would you do with $20,000?First, a portion would go to causes close to our hearts: the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Morgan’s Message, and the Christian Muñiz Memorial Scholarship Fund. Then, take our dream honeymoon! Somewhere serene, beautiful, peaceful, and full of adventure. With the rest, we’d treat ourselves to meaningful experiences and a few concerts, create new memories, and enjoy some things we’ve always wanted. And probably treat our kids and pups a little! Wedding is Oct. 2025, so this could be a game changer.
