Our Story
A love story written in the stars
William Evan Thieme
William is a successful roofing business owner with a passion for quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. Born and raised in Liberty, Missouri, he built his company from the ground up and takes pride in protecting families' homes. When he's not running his business, you'll find him mountain biking through scenic trails or spending quality time with his kids, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Mary Elizabeth Hilton
Mary is an amazing massage therapist with a healing touch and compassionate spirit. As a devoted homemaker and mother, she creates a warm, nurturing environment where her family thrives. When she's not caring for others, Mary loves spending time on the water boating, exploring mountain trails while hiking, and carving down snowy slopes skiing with her loved ones.
How We Met
Our love story began on a beautiful early evening at a local cidery in the December of 2021. Mary had just arrived and was struggling to parallel park in a tight spot. Watching from nearby, William couldn't help but notice her determination—and decided to offer his assistance.
With a warm smile and a bit of charm, William helped Mary navigate into the perfect parking spot. What started as a simple act of kindness turned into hours of conversation over craft ciders, laughter, and an undeniable connection that neither of them could ignore.
From that moment on, William swept Mary off her feet. Their cidery meeting blossomed into countless adventures, shared dreams, and a love that grew stronger with each passing day. Now, they're ready to park their hearts together forever.
