Anna and Adam met at Valparaiso University 11 years ago during the first week of the school year. After talking at a house party, they discovered that they shared many similar interests. Although they attempted a date, they remained just friends and wouldn’t start dating until years later. Adam and Anna kept in touch over the years as they graduated, started careers, traveled, and grew up. While Anna lived in Chicago, Adam was in Yokohama, Japan. Adam invited Anna to join him on a ski trip in Park City, a bold move that Anna declined but secretly loved. However, Adam didn’t give up. After moving back to Chicago in 2019, he asked Anna out on a date, which she accepted. They talked for hours, and during the conversation, Adam asked if Anna would go to Mexico with him the following week. She said yes! This marked the beginning of their whirlwind love and relationship, and they have been on adventures together ever since. Anna and Adam have lived in eleven different homes together, moving with Anna's career. In between, they have traveled and explored extensively. They have enjoyed a journey of camping, hiking, backpacking, cooking, chess, yoga, skiing, biking, and more. Their love for each other has deepened their appreciation for the world, and they are thrilled to share their lives with each other and with you! Thank you so much for making our life together brighter, happier, safer, and more loved. We are so excited to be married!
