Ten years of friendship leads to forever!

Just so we don't get into a  -six degrees of-  scenario, we've shortened this version of How We Met.  Meliss has a friend from high school, Angela (brides maid). Ang's mom and PJ's uncle were roommates so Meliss meets PJ's uncle during this time, around 2006. Uncle Dan and Meliss become friends. Dan moves to a different place. Yada yada yada Meliss cleans house for Dan to make some cash. Yada yada yada 2012 Meliss accompanies Dan to a car show in Maple Lake where PJ lives. At this gathering other members of PJ's family are also introduced to Meliss and all become friends. Yada yada yada a few years pass and live music in French Lake at Webber's Deck happens. Meliss goes to this for fun and to sell her hand drawn hippie posters. Turns out PJ is also at this event. PJ and Meliss hit it off as though they'd been friends for a long time and he introduces her to some of his friends. Yada yada yada so they start dating and rest is history.  ((The six degrees of refers to a game about Kevin Bacon)) - "Google it"

We have always enjoyed being outside in the great outdoors & wanted to have our ceremony outside. We chose Monticello because it is close to home. August 17th, 2024 is significant because it would be 10 years together.
