Our Wedding

After finishing their collegiate careers and graduating together in 2020, their relationship took on a new chapter of long distance. While their romance was a long distance one for a few years, they were physically reunited at the end of 2023, and&nbsp;Garek&nbsp;joined Em the following year on Tour as her caddie.&nbsp;Garek&nbsp;proposed to Emilee on August 23rd, 2024, in the beautiful mountains outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. The two are looking forward to building their future together and so excited to celebrate with y'all on October 24th, 2025.
