Nate was working as a temp in the credentialing department and Emily was a full time Account Manager. When Emily first saw Nate, she asked her friend, Jess, who the hot guy was over in the corner, to which Jess yelled at Nate to please stand up. Nate then very awkwardly stood and waved over at the woman he would go on to marry! The couple started their relationship with four of the most amazing dogs in their family, Luna Elizabeth, Noni Lorraine, Anakin Rigby, and Quil Rambler. As their relationship has blossomed and grown, so has their family! Along their journey, they have gone on to add four more dogs, Pippen Michael Maloney, Andy Walter, Marjorie Rose, and Sui Eileen! The whole family will be making an appearance at the wedding. <3 —— How We Got Engaged: Emily has been to several Shania Twain concerts in her life. In fact, she is Emily and her mom’s absolute favorite artist! The two of them shared a love of the artist and especially of her song, You’re Still the One, which is to this day Emily and her mom’s song. She and Nate have gone to see Shania Twain shows several times together during her Las Vegas residency as well! So when Shania announced her tour would be going through Kansas City, they knew they HAD to get tickets! Upon buying VIP tickets to be able to be on stage with Shania Twain during a song, it felt only right that the proposal should occur while they were both on stage with Shania Twain that night during their song, From This Moment On.

Best wishes to the future couple! It’s truly surreal to witness Emily’s journey from high school dreams to this beautiful moment. Back then, I’d remember she’d chat excitedly about her future family, carefully stashing away treasures in those two boxes for her future baby. And now, as she walks down the aisle, all those dreams are unfolding into reality. May your love story continue to blossom, and may your shared dreams be the foundation of a lifetime filled with joy and happiness! 🎉💕
