All great love stories begin with a beer pong table in a frat basement. Ok, maybe not all. But, this one did! Dave and Amy met at the University of Minnesota almost 10 years ago. It didn't take long for them to get along and start spending time together. After a year of dating in college, Amy went abroad for a semester in Italy and Dave began his senior year. While the two stayed friends throughout, something kept bringing them back together. Fast forward to 2018, they rekindled their relationship beginning with weekend trips back and forth from Dave’s in Uptown and Amy’s in Duluth, then traveling the world with family and friends, living in the North Loop and enjoying their favorite restaurants and breweries together and of course, experiencing the misery of supporting Minnesota sports teams (Dave has even managed to convert Amy into a hockey fan). As they say, the rest is history! Dave made it official in a perfectly planned proposal up at his cabin. (For all those who know Dave, the fact that it was planned down to the minute was no surprise!) He told Amy they were getting lunch at a favorite restaurant on the lake. When they showed up to the patio, there was a sheet with rose petals and flowers under an arch looking out to the lake. Amy stopped in shock, and Dave got down on one knee. They both blacked out a little, and Amy said YES! To make it even better, two boats with their family and friends were watching and waiting to celebrate. A truly perfect surprise to start the beginning of happily ever after. ~ None of this would be possible without the incredible family and friends who have walked through life with us and made us who we are today. There are no words sufficient enough to thank you for your love and support. We can’t wait to celebrate with you all in our city! See you soon!
