Our Story

We met in middle school—Luke in 8th grade, me in 7th. At a mutual friend's house over winter break, I was drawn to his funny, charismatic nature, though girls weren’t his priority at 13. Soon, my shy, sweet personality won him over, and he asked me out.

We became best friends, sharing school dances, friendships, and growing up together. Our parents thought our young “relationship” was silly, but by high school, we saw a future together. We joked, “I wish I met you when I was older,” fearing life might pull us apart. But the bond of friendship and trust we built has lasted.

After 11 years, Luke proposed in a sunflower field on a hot August day. Nervous, though he knew the answer was YES, we still revisit the field to remember where our forever began.

During COVID, we canceled our original wedding plans for safety and exchanged vows at a family friend’s home on a beautiful fall day. Tears flowed before we even walked down the aisle. The day was filled with joy, but the most special part was having Luke’s dad officiate our wedding, making it even more meaningful.

Our Home

We live in a charming village of just over 3,000 people, where life feels slower, simpler, and more intentional—offering a peaceful retreat from the fast pace of everyday life. It’s safe, welcoming, and full of community, the perfect place to raise our family.

Our home is a spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with an open-concept design that brings us together. The kitchen is the heart of our home—Cassi loves to cook, and I am always eager to try her meals. Cassi also loves to decorate and transform our house during each holiday. She does a great job making our house feel cozy and festive.

Our family-friendly street is surrounded by other young families, creating a close-knit neighborhood that comes alive, especially during the holidays. Halloween is a highlight, with hayrides and tractor rides for trick-or-treating.

Our backyard is a sanctuary for fun and relaxation. Fully fenced, it provides a safe space for little ones and our dog, Sully, to play. There’s room for future additions, like a playset, and in summer, we enjoy our above-ground pool, often hosting pool parties with friends and family.

Our community blends small-town charm with forward-thinking ideals. Neighbors greet each other by name, and local events foster a strong sense of belonging. We embrace diversity, celebrating a wide range of cultures and perspectives, and our annual local festival showcases this with music, dancing, food, arts & crafts, and a lively parade.

We're lucky to live in a place rich with opportunities for growth and recreation. Our top-rated schools, all within walking distance from our home, provide excellent education and support. Families take pride in supporting local sports teams and academic events.

Just down the road, a beautiful park offers year-round activities, from "Music in the Park" in the summer to ice skating in winter. The park also features a fishing pond and scenic trails for outdoor enjoyment. Our town offers a welcoming atmosphere with endless opportunities to learn, grow, and connect - a perfect place to raise a family.

I was born and raised in Wisconsin, where family, faith, and hard work are core values. Growing up in a close-knit family shaped who I am. My parents, married for 36 years, are my role models—living examples of love and commitment. They still live in the same house where they raised me and my three siblings, providing a foundation of love and stability we all cherish. They worked hard to give us a great life and are already thrilled to become grandparents.

As the oldest of four—with an older sister and younger brother and sister—I grew up in a house full of energy, laughter, and friendly sibling rivalries. Today, we all live nearby and often gather for family events and holidays. None of my siblings have kids yet, so they’re excited to welcome a new addition and ready to spoil our future little one.



One of our most special family members is my 90-year-old grandma—full of spunk, sass, and love. She’s the heart of our extended family and is eager to add more great-grandchildren to her growing family tree. Her presence is a blessing and a big part of what makes our family so special.

Cassi's Family

I grew up in a non-traditional home, raised by my incredible single mom who gave everything to ensure my brother and I had a full, loving life. Through sacrifice, love, and determination, she built a strong foundation for us. She’s generous, tireless, and taught us the values of hard work, perseverance, and family pride. Now living just down the road, she’s already claimed her spot as our future babysitter and can’t wait to become a grandmother.

We were also surrounded by a big extended family—my mom is one of six—so aunts, uncles, and cousins were always part of our daily lives. Many of my cousins are also my closest friends, and our family continues to grow with new little ones who bring so much joy.

As the oldest, I naturally took on a maternal role with my younger brother—something he still teases me about! He’s especially excited to become an uncle, and seeing his enthusiasm makes me even more excited for what’s ahead.

Luke & Cassi - A Look Into Our Life

Meet Sully 

We adopted Sully, our 3-year-old golden retriever and collie mix, from a rescue in Houston, Texas, and he has brought joy to our lives ever since. With a personality as vibrant as his energy, Sully is our "lover boy"—sweet, playful, and full of spunk. He loves his toys, especially his banana and pizza-shaped plushies, and he’s incredibly smart. Ask him to find his pizza, and he’ll dive into his toy box, determined to bring it to you.

Sully thrives on activity, especially walks, where he’s known as the "neighborhood greeter," happily wagging his tail and making friends with everyone. He gives gentle “baby hugs” instead of jumping up, always melting hearts. His favorite place is our family cabin, where he roams freely, hunting down the perfect stick. Halloween is a special time for him—he loves helping us hand out candy and soaking up attention from the neighborhood kids.

We can't wait for Sully to become a big brother. With his gentle nature and loving personality, we know he’ll be the perfect companion for a little one to grow up with.

Oh, The Places We’ve Been 

Early in our relationship, we discovered our shared love for traveling and experiencing new cultures and places. Over time, we’ve slowly checked off bucket list destinations, starting with exploring the beauty of Wisconsin. One of our favorite spots is Door County, a peninsula surrounded by Green Bay and Lake Michigan, known for its stunning sunsets, scenic hiking trails, and small-town charm.

Our travels have taken us farther, from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to the rugged beauty of Maine and the breathtaking Smoky Mountains. Recently, we found a new favorite way to travel—camping in our camper, our "home on wheels." It allows us to explore at our own pace while giving us space to unwind and enjoy each other’s company. Whether waking up in a quiet forest or enjoying a campfire under the stars, camping offers a special experience, and we can’t wait to see where the road takes us next!

Family Traditions

Our lives are rich with traditions, and we love celebrating life’s milestones and holidays with those we love. Cassi finds real joy in hosting—she’s planned everything from Halloween and birthday parties to game nights and holiday gatherings.



Christmas is especially meaningful—not only is it when we started dating, but it's a season to reflect on what truly matters. Every year, we bundle up to cut down our Christmas tree and make candies and cookies with family. Decorating cookies with my mom, who bakes dozens each year, is one of our favorite traditions.

My family’s cabin in northern Wisconsin is the heart of many special memories. Each season kicks off with my dad’s birthday and a big Fourth of July celebration, filled with beach time, games, and fireworks. It’s one of our happiest places.

We also treasure time with my 90-year-old grandma. My parents have weekly dinners with her, and we join as often as we can. Listening to her stories and learning her cookie recipes—she still bakes a fresh batch every Sunday—is something we deeply value.

Fun Times Ahead 

We love embracing all four seasons and finding fun activities to do year-round. In the winter, we go to Titletown where we enjoy sledding and ice skating near Lambeau Field. When summer arrives, we like to go hiking on Eagle Trail in Door County. We also love to go to the beautiful beaches on Lake Michigan and the Bay Beach amusement park. When we say goodbye to summer, we welcome apple picking, pumpkin patches, and fall football. Sports are deeply woven into our community, and game days are filled with tailgates, food, and cheering for the Green Bay Packers, which is a cherished tradition.
