Gabe & Mikayla:: Brookings, SD Wedding

Posted in Destination Weddings, South Dakota, WeddingsTags: , , , , , , , , , ,

It was Christmas time.  Gabe and Mikayla had met at church camp in ninth grade and had been friends and eventually started dating in college, but had always lived miles and hours apart . Gabe being in Minnesota and Mikayla in South Dakota.  They were now both in their 3rd year of college, an hour away from each other studying hard in different areas of the medical field.  But they were tired of the commute and being away from each other.

Now they were back at the same camp surrounded by the camp friends they had grown up with as they had all planned to exchange gifts.  Soon it turned into something bigger when Gabe presented Mikayla with a heartfelt photo album entitled “Our Story: Gabe and Mikayla.”   In a creative blend of Scripture and photos, the album walked Mikayla though their relationship from when they had first met and they many adventures they had shared together.  She continued reading until she got to the last page and read “so what’s the next part of our story?  That part begins with a question…”

She looked up teary-eyed from the album to find Gabe down on one knee asking her to be his wife.

Their wedding day continued the story as they brought me out to beautiful South Dakota where Mikayla grew up.  Her parents had land and in the last year had put up an amazing pole barn that held their reception.  Family and friends worked hard at accommodating the 300 guests on am amazingly hot day.  And they did an amazing job!!  It was a beautiful wedding with a sparkler send off!!

Thank you Gabe and Mikayla for allowing me to be with you, it was truly a blessing to me and an incredible day!  Congratulations!!

    Land of Promise wedding:: Will & Brianna

    Posted in Minneapolis, WeddingsTags: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

    As a waitress at Big Bowl, Briana was used to chatting with customers, but only once (and that was all she needed) did she ever have a customer wait outside and ask her for her number.  Liking the fact that Will was so forthright, she agreed to go on a date with him, which ended up in eight years of dating.  Sharing a love for cooking, Minnesota lakes, two sweet children and fishing, the couple completed one another.

    On one afternoon date, the two ended up at Minehaha Falls. While walking about the area the two ended up taking selfies together and in between photos, Bri turned to find Will down on one knee with a ring in his hand!

    Their love of the outdoors, family and friends was apparent on their wedding day as they exchanged vows at the beautiful Land of Promise.  It was a joy to share this beautiful June day with them!!

    Calhoun Beach Club Wedding:: Paul & Anna

    Posted in Minneapolis, WeddingsTags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

    He couldn’t help but stare and stammer, maybe just a little, as the sea of ginger curls came strolling out of the church service.  Nick called his sweet younger sister, Anna, over to his side as he introduced her to college friends, including Paul.  Paul was smitten with Nick’s sister and after conversations with friends, got her number and left her a message asking Anna on a date.

    Paul’s chivalrous acts of opening every door for Anna, complimenting her, and his genuine interest in her had her just as hooked on him and that date was the beginning of the three years the two have been together.

    After moving nine times across three states, Paul was ready to tie the knot and with the help of two of Anna’s best friends, he set up flowers and candles by the lake in Chicago where the two had one of their first dates.  Getting down on one knee, with roses in hand, Paul asked Anna to spend the rest of his life with her. She cried a beautiful yes and the two drove back home to celebrate with family and friends!

      Posted in couples, Minneapolis, Uncategorized, WeddingsTags: , , , , , , , ,

      After a long day working as an accountat at Virtual Radiologic, some of Kelly’s co-worker’s invited her to happy hour.  Needing the break, she agreed to go.  Brian, working at the same company as a software engineer was also invited to that same happy hour where he met a very sweet and independent accountant.  Through the course of a few more happy hours the two exchanged numbers and eventually Brian asked Kelly to dinner.  Being busy with grad school, and hoping to use it as a deterrent, Kelly kindly declined. Knowing he had found a catch, Brian was determined to take Kelly out and continued pressing Kelly to go out with him.  She finally “gave in” and went to dinner with him to the Wildfire on a snowy night.

      The two hit it off immediately finding so they had many similarities including their love for animals, the Humane Society, their sense of humor, and work stories.

      After two years of dating, three cats and a dog later, Brian lined the entry way of his home with dozens of roses and chocolates.  He waited for Kelly to come home from work and when she arrive at the scene, Brian got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.
