We met when we were little, but neither of us remember that very well.

Our story starts in 2022, at a church convention in North Dakota. Carter saw Allison across the room after meeting her for the first time, and whispered to his mom "MOM, WHO is that?!" And then, "I would marry that girl."

After a couple conversations throughout the weekend, Allison could see that his values were solid, not to mention he made her laugh a lot.

Their paths crossed again at a New Years get-together in Montana, where Carter left his friends on the ski slopes to sit in the lodge with Allison while she worked on homework. After a full 2 hours had gone by, Allison finally started taking the hint.

After lots of phone calls and facetimes, Carter told Allison to check her calendar, because he was going to buy her a plane ticket to North Dakota for a weekend. Two weeks later, she found herself staying with the Vigesaa's.

After a few 10 hour drives from Laramie to Zap, Carter found out there was a nursing school in ND that would be just right for Allison. She finished her semester at UW, and had her room all packed up to move before she even got her acceptance letter from Bismarck State.

During a trip to Wyoming for an elk hunt last November, Carter proposed in front of Elk Mountain. Which brings us to today! Thanks for being here :)
