Finally Getting Hitched!

Blake and Haley’s story started in an unexpected way, at a bar in St. Paul Park—of all places. It was a Friday night, the kind where the stakes are high at the poker table, but neither of them was having much luck. Both had already lost out, but instead of heading home, they found themselves joining a circle of friends to keep the game going. Neither was looking for anything more than a fun night, but sometimes fate has other plans. One of their mutual friends, the matchmaker, noticed the easy banter between them. With a grin, she grabbed Blake’s phone and asked for Haley’s number, slipping it into his contacts before either of them could object. That night, as Haley was driving home, she saw a message pop up on her phone. It was from Blake: "Well, I have your number, so I guess it's only fair you have mine." And just like that, a chance encounter turned into something neither of them had expected—but both would come to cherish.
