Our Wedding
Message From Couple
Our love story began seven years ago, and since then, we've embraced a whirlwind of adventures together. From moving countless times to adapting to the ever-changing chapters of our lives, we’ve learned that love is all about resilience and teamwork. No matter the challenges we face, we always find a way to make it work, creating a beautiful tapestry of memories along the way. Through every twist and turn, our bond has only grown stronger, and we are excited to continue this journey hand in hand as we celebrate our love with all of you.
About Us
We met in 2013 and at the time thought nothing of it. Fast forward to 2017, and we reconnected. I was planning to attend college at Minnesota State University Mankato, while Ally was planning to attend Winona State University. We continued to see each other when we could, which involved many football games and road trips with The Samples, until 2021 when Ally moved to Mankato, and we got our first apartment together. From there, I continued to play college football until my graduation. We then moved to Minneapolis, where I pursued my football dream and Ally focused on finding her dream job. In June of 2023, I proposed. We were at a beach house in Oak Island, NC, on vacation with my extended family when I popped the question beachside. Fast forward to 2024, and we are now planning our dream destination wedding to tie the knot on the beaches of Punta Cana, DR.

Wedding Party
Mara Quam
Bridesmaid
Mara is one of my favorite people and closest friends. Over the past two years we've had countless cabin weekends, tito's sodas, and movie nights. Any time I need advice, a shopping buddy or a good girls night out Mara is the one I call.
Madison Nelson
Bridesmaid
Madison is someone who came into my life through another bridesmaid (thanks Haley!) and I can't imagine life without her! She is one of the funniest girls I've ever met, and I am very lucky to call her one of my best friends.
Natalee Vanbrocklin
Maid of Honor
Natalee is one of my very best friends. We met working at Associated Bank together and really got to know each other through countless hours of counting money during the pandemic. She is one of the most genuine people I know and a friend for life.
Haley Finstuen
Bridesmaid
Haley is one of the most kindhearted girls I have ever met. We met at Mankato and 3 years later she became one of my best friends. We've spent countless hours at Taberna together talking over margaritas. Even from Arizona we stay in touch and her friendship means so much to me.
Grace Dickman
Bridesmaid
Grace is my younger (and wiser) sister. She continues to amaze me with all the knowledge she has at age 20 and I know she's going to do amazing things in life. As we get closer it's fun to see her grow into herself and I love spending time with her.
Julia Deyak
Bridesmaid
Julie!! I met Julia through some mutual friends (thanks Bre) and after 5 minutes I knew we were going to become great friends. We've known each other for less than a year and I already consider her one of my best friends. Any time I am in need of a laugh or the tea, Julia is there.
Anas Osman
Best Man
Anas has been my best friend basically since we met freshman year. Roommates for basically all of my time at Mankato, there isn’t much we don’t know about each other. We’ve traveled together, partied together and a lot more. Couldn’t be happier to have him by my side on the day.
Cullen Gahagan
Groomsman
Met in the wide receiver room our freshman year at Mankato. Countless practices, meetings and road trips brought us closer. Maybe wasn’t the best idea to let him fly me around in a propeller plane only a few weeks after meeting him but here we are so it’s safe to say I trust him. Thankful to have him with me.
Noah Skifton
Groomsman
Skips been one of my closest friends since high school. Went from being teammates to rivals for a few years during college football days, it was always fun to line up against him in college, where MSU was normally victorious. Skip is always down to have a good time so watch out for him at the reception!
Tyler Johnson
Groomsman
Ty was the first teammate I met at MSU during orientation. We took every single class together for our sport management degree. From every class to also being teammates, Ty and I have been very close for some years now. One of the hardest workers I know and I’m happy to have him with me.
Abdi Muhidin
Groomsman
I also met Abdi my freshman year at Mankato. Whether it’s about the Vikings or the Lakers (Idk how those teams go together trust me I’ve asked) we always had some to argue about during our time as roommates . He’s one of the funniest guys I know and I’m blessed to call him my friend..
Addison Storm
Groomsman
Also known Addy for over a decade and it’s always been all love between us. We grew up in the same neighborhood so I was always in his Grandpas basement playing video games or watching sports with him and his brother. Addy is like family and I’m happy to have him with me.
