Kiesow | Chloe + Levi
Our Story
We first met back in 5th grade when the bride moved into the small town of Grygla. At the time, we were just classmates- laughing at the same jokes, working on group projects, and slowly becoming friends without even realizing it. Over the years we stayed in the same circles, growing up together and creating more memories than we could count. Then, in 10th grade, something shifted. The friendship that started so simply turned into something more, and that’s when we started dating. From classmates to best friends to partners- it’s been quite the journey!
Tell us about the proposaL
The proposal seriously couldn’t have been more perfect—it happened at our favorite place in the world: the lake. The day started off simple and fun, just the way we like it. We went fishing in the morning, then spent some time relaxing at the beach. After that, we grabbed some of our favorite food—uffda tacos and ice cream (a classic combo!).
Later in the day, I noticed Levi was acting a little off. He seemed quiet and kind of out of it, so I actually thought he might be getting sick. I told him, “Let’s go back to the camper and take a nap—something’s wrong with you!” So we did.
After our little rest, Levi got up and said, “Let’s go take the dog for a walk on the pier.” I didn’t think anything of it. The sun was just starting to set, painting the sky with the most beautiful colors, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect—calm, warm, and peaceful.
Then, right there on the pier, with the golden sunset reflecting off the water, he stopped, turned to me, and popped the big question.
It was unbelievably romantic—just the two of us, the quiet lake, the sunset, and a moment we’ll never forget. A true fairytale, in the most “us” kind of way.
“One of the moments we’re most looking forward to is seeing each other for the first time, whether it’s during a first look or at the start of the ceremony. That moment when everything else fades away and it’s just the two of us, finally stepping into this next chapter together. It’s going to be full of emotion, excitement, and probably a few happy tears!“
advice for future couples
One thing we think future couples will really appreciate is how amazing Angie and Rob are to work with. They’re flexible, creative, and genuinely committed to making all of your wedding dreams come true. No matter your vision or challenges, they’ll find a way to bring it to life and make the planning process smooth and enjoyable. Having that kind of support makes all the difference!
Our advice for future couples is to remember that your wedding day is about you and your love story—try not to get too caught up in what others expect or want. Take time to enjoy the process, celebrate the little moments, and lean on each other when things get stressful. Also, choose a team you trust (like your venue and vendors) who will support your vision and make the planning feel seamless. And most importantly, don’t forget to pause and soak it all in on the day itself—it goes by way faster than you think!
