Tony and I met the good old fashioned way, on Bumble ;) It was the summer of 2020, the start of the Covid pandemic. Due to this many of our first dates were spent outside going on walks around the twin cities area. After getting to know each other better, we realized we had a lot in common. We both were Eden Prairie High School graduates, both attended St. Ben's/St. John's for college, and both grew up attending Pax Christi church. My mom even volunteered with Tony's mom, who is the volunteer coordinator at the Prop Shop! We were two years apart in school and realized we had several mutual connections. It is crazy that despite all these connections it took bumble to bring us together! Over the past three and a half years Tony and I have discovered several shared interests including reading, watching sports, hiking, and exploring new places together. We love just spending quality time together and are so excited for this next step in our relationship!

Tony proposed while on a summer weekend getaway to the north shore of Minnesota. The north shore is one of our favorite places to travel together. He proposed while hiking at one of our favorite state parks, Tettegouche !
