How We Met

Our story started at Becca (Brendan's sister) and Lance's wedding! After dinner, Brendan boldly started a conversation about Lily's favorite drink (a Wisconsin styled Old-Fashioned). This kickstarted a night full of dancing, talking, and getting to know each other! The next day, Brendan's family was shocked to discover he had ditched watching the Vikings football game to go out to lunch with Lily. Our first 2 and a half years of dating were spent making the 4 hour drive between St. Paul, MN (where Brendan lived) and Madison, WI (where Lily lived). We had so much fun making memories in both cities. Our favorite dates in St. Paul have included eating at Shamrocks, taking walks around old St. Paul neighborhoods, and exploring nearby state parks. In Madison we enjoyed cutting down our own Christmas trees each year, golfing at the local par 3 course, and picking up coffee from Barriques. Weddings hold a special place in our hearts since it's where we met. We love attending weddings and re-living our first moments together. Now we are so excited to plan our own wedding and share it with you!! :)
