Emily + Evan | June 27, 2020

CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. & MRS. SPITZA! EMILY AND EVAN WERE ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED TO BE MARRIED WITH ALL OF THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY SURROUNDING THEM ON JUNE 27, 2020. BUT WHEN A "LITTLE VIRUS" CAME AROUND THEY DECIDED TO POSTPONE THEIR LARGE CELEBRATION. THEY HAD AN INTIMATE WEDDING CEREMONY AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER FOR THIS SWEET PAIR! NOT ONLY ARE THEY GOOD PEOPLE- THEY ARE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND EDUCATION! THEY IMMEDIATELY FIT INTO MY SWEET SPOT, BEING A LEO WIFE MYSELF. 
​
I AM BEYOND EXCITED TO COORDINATE THEIR LONG AWAITED CELEBRATION NEXT YEAR - THEY'VE BEEN WAITING A WHILE FOR IT NOW, AND DESERVE THE BEST DAY EVER 2.0!  GET A LOAD OF THIS ADORABLE LOVE STORY: 

"EVAN AND I MET AT UW OSHKOSH IN LATE FEBRUARY OF 2014, OUR SOPHOMORE YEAR OF COLLEGE. OUR FIRST DATE WAS ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF REEVE, THE UNION AT UWO. WE HUNG OUT AND HE ATTEMPTED TO HELP ME WITH MATH HOMEWORK. EVAN PLAYED FOOTBALL THROUGHOUT HIS TIME AT UWO, WE SPENT MOST OF HIS FREE TIME TOGETHER THAT SEMESTER. A FEW DAYS AFTER MY BIRTHDAY AT THE END OF JULY, HE FINALLY ASKED ME TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND." 

OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS THEY STUDIED, SPENT TIME TOGETHER AN GRADUATED MAY 2017 WITH JOBS LINED UP. A SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER AND A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER- I MEAN TALK ABOUT A POWER COUPLE!  ALONG THE WAY THEY CONTINUED TO BE EACH OTHER'S BIGGEST AND BEST SUPPORT SYSTEMS. IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER! 

"AT THE END OF MY FIRST YEAR OF TEACHING, EVAN BROUGHT IN DONUTS FOR MY CLASS ON NATIONAL DONUT DAY. LITTLE DID I KNOW, HE HAD TWO SPECIAL DONUTS SET ASIDE WITH “MARRY ME?” WRITTEN ON THEM AND A RING. I SAID YES AND ON JUNE 1, 2018, WE WERE ENGAGED." 

BETWEEN ALL THE PLANNING,  TWO DOGS, A HOME PURCHASE, A PANDEMIC, THE TWO DECIDED TO GO THROUGH WITH A SMALL CEREMONY PREFORMED BY THE EMILY'S BROTHER. THE PICTURES SHOW JUST HOW MUCH JOY AND LOVE THERE IS BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM! 
.
CONGRATULATIONS EMILY & EVAN SPITZA- I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO AND SO EXCITED TO MAKE YOUR RECEPTION THE BIGGEST AND HAPPIEST PARTY THAT YOU TWO DESERVE! 

XO, 
​LAURA ​
