“Kevin and Emily met in Cedar Falls shortly after they both graduated from UNI. Kevin decided to make it official on April 25, 2018 when he planned the surprise of a lifetime during a fire drill at Emily’s school in Perry with some of her coworkers. The fire alarm went off and Emily rushed her kids out of the school where a fire truck pulled up with the sirens blaring. Two firemen hopped off in full uniform (it was not a cold day by any means) and one walked over to Emily. She couldn’t tell who it was at first, but Kevin pulled off his helmet and got right down on one knee!! To say Emily was shocked would be a huge understatement! She was so excited she took the ring right from the box without letting Kevin put it on her! The whole school helped them celebrate with some students even holding signs that said, “Emily, will you marry me?” Of course, the answer was YES!”

“The thing I love most about Kevin is how he makes me feel each and every day. I always feel loved, safe, and supported when I am with him. He puts the biggest smile on my face and looks at me as if I’m the most amazing person he has ever met. He challenges me to become a better version of myself through his extraordinary passion and determination for all he does. He is so kind and is the type of person that would do anything for the ones he loves. I couldn’t think of a better person to spend my life with. Of course, no one is perfect, but I truly feel that Kevin is perfect for me.”

“Emily has the biggest heart in the world. She makes room to care for and love so many people in her life, from her family to her coworkers, to her students, and me. The fact that she loves me most makes me feel like the most special person in the world.”

“We love watching TV while snuggled up on the couch, road tripping and bickering about the music selection, watching baseball, and trying out new craft breweries.”

“We are most excited to continue having adventures together (we want to get to all 50 states!) and starting a family.”

“We loved being back in Cedar Falls where we met and began our relationship. Mandy was also amazing to work with. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease. We loved our session!”
