Warner Park Community Center Madison WI Wedding

Warner Park Community Center Madison WI Wedding

"Chris and I met at Camp LuWiSoMo during a winter church retreat in January 2013. While we talked and got to know each other a bit, nothing came of our newfound friendship besides exchanging phone numbers. As the weeks passed, we kept bumping into each other at Calvary Lutheran Church in Madison, WI. This eventually lead to walking to church together, as our apartments in Madison were near by. Our first official date consisted of riding bikes and playing catch at a nearby park. We shared stories, giggles, and our love for being outside. As the dates continued, we also continued sharing our time together outdoors--biking, rollerblading, downhill and cross-country skiing, and eventually camping and hiking. We still love to do these activities together, and have since included more fishing (per Chris), more running (per Emily), and kayaking."

Oshkosh Wedding Photographers | Most Blessed Sacrament Parish and Beckets Wedding

The sweetest moment from Katy and Nick's Oshkosh wedding was a surprise letter Nick wrote on the back of a photo. He wrote this letter to his future bride in 2012, then framed the photo. Over the last 5 years Katy had no idea! Here's what he wrote... 

"Dear My Sweetest Love,

I'm sure you will never see this because who honestly looks at the back of a photo in a frame, but that's the point. Today is August 28th 2012. 4 days before you leave to go back to Eau Claire for your Junior year. You're still undecided with what you want to finish in but I know you will choose the right thing either way. I don't know when you will see this... 3 days, 3 years or 30 years but some day you will see this. Maybe on our wedding day.. I know it will come because you are the one for me. I love you so much, nothing has been the same since I met you. In a good way. You truly are the love of my life. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you. 

Forever and Always, Nick"
