Our Story
All it took was two Chicago people moving to Nashville...
While both of us lived in Chicago for 5+ years, our paths never crossed there. In January 2021, Kolby moved to Nashville, followed by Therese five months later with her childhood best friend, Mary Kate.
Kolby’s friend Molly, who happens to be MK’s cousin, encouraged them to connect since they were both new to the city. A month later, Kolby invited MK and her 'roommate,' Therese, to a concert. Even though Therese and MK had planned a girls' night, they decided to change plans - and the rest is history!
The photo on the left is the first night we met on July 22nd, 2022, and the photo on the right is July 3rd, 2024 day Kolby proposed at his family's lakehouse in Wonder Lake, IL. After he proposed, he had all of our family and friends down the street, ready to surprise us.
