How it all began…
Fall 2019 Freshman Year
Casey and Cooper had two classes together during their first year at Creighton University - American Government & Politics and Philosophical Ideas: Law. Although they didn’t exchange many words during class, they both lived in Swanson Residence Hall and got to know each other through mutual friends and study groups.
Fall 2020 Sophomore Year
As luck would have it, Casey and Cooper again lived in the same residence hall, Heider. Cooper would often drive Casey around Omaha to volunteering, Trader Joes, or hair appointments. The day before Casey left for summer break in CA, she invited Cooper to a country concert in Lincoln, NE.
Fall 2021 Junior Year
A month into the school year, Cooper expressed his feelings for Casey. While they both have different accounts of that night, Casey agreed to go on a date with Cooper. Casey let Cooper take her to her first ever hockey game followed by watching the movie Cars. Several months later, Cooper ended his two-year long crush and asked Casey to be his girlfriend.
Fall 2022 Senior Year
Casey and Cooper enjoyed their last year at Creighton together, attending each other’s sorority/fraternity date parties and formals, exploring Omaha for fun date nights, watching every Creighton basketball game, and taking their last ever college course together.
2023 - 2025 Post Graduates
After graduating from Creighton, Casey and Cooper moved to Chicago, IL to start their respective careers. They have enjoyed exploring their new city, spending time with family and friends, and eating their way around the city!
Our Engagement
December 26, 2023
—
Cooper flew out to Sacramento, CA to visit Casey and join the Koenig family for a ski trip to Lake Tahoe, CA. Under the guise of celebrating Cooper’s birthday, Cooper suggested going to the lake before his birthday dinner to take in the views of Lake Tahoe. After months of crafting an endless number of small lies and coordinating with both families, Cooper successfully proposed to Casey without her having the slightest idea of his plans. Following the proposal, Casey and Cooper celebrated their engagement with both families and close friends - truly the best day ever!

Casey and Cooper look forward to getting married at the place where it all began for them, Creighton University.
