We met when I moved to Devils Lake, ND. Chris said his first memory of me was seeing me fishing (SHOCKER, I know). My first memory with Chris was backing his truck into a light post when I was DD for a Police Department party! Chris moved from Devils Lake to Fargo in 2013 and we remained friends. Later, in 2015, I reached out to him on Facebook and invited him out on the town. He forced his friend, Troy to come with him to meet me and the three of us have been inseparable ever since! :)

It was Monday afternoon, Chris and I were getting ready to leave for a week long trip to Florida. I just finished getting a mani/pedi and Chris said that my nails looked too nice to not have a ring on. He pulled the ring out of the glove box and proposed right before we left. He said he planned to do it in Florida but was too nervous to hold onto the ring!

We decided to go back to where it all started in Devils Lake! Chris and I spend 90% of our summer at the lake, and it truly is our happy place. We decided that the most meaningful way for us to celebrate our wedding would be to have our closest friends and family come spend a couple of days at the lake with us! A few days full of fishing, yard games, boat rides, great food and our favorite people is all that we could ever hope for as we start our journey as husband & wife!
