we’re getting married!

Our story begins in November of 2021 at none other than mug night at Herd & Horns in Fargo, ND. It felt like fate right from that first night. We were both in our senior year of college, and some of our first dates after meeting were spent grabbing coffee and cramming for finals together. We experienced a lot of big changes in our first year of dating, as we both graduated from NDSU, accepted our first “big kid jobs”, and moved back to MN. Fast forward to March of 2024, when Braden proposed while on a hike at Bryce Canyon National Park, a lovely stranger capturing the whole thing on video for us. Maddie said yes (about 12 times according to said video) as hikers from all over the country cheered for us. We were so ecstatic that it took us a solid half hour before we realized we went down the wrong trail afterwards. We will be tying the knot at Braden’s family’s vineyard, 3B Vineyard, a place that holds so much meaning to us. We can’t wait to celebrate our special day with you!
