Our story started when we matched on Hinge, a dating app. After messaging for about a week, we decided to meet in person at Lagos Tacos in Uptown Minneapolis on September 18, 2022. I still remember like it was yesterday, seeing a gorgeous blonde girl with a red top who came walking in. The evening couldn’t have gone better; our conversation was effortless, filled with laughter and shared interests. It felt almost too good to be true. Knowing I wanted to see her again, I texted the next day to invite her over for the Monday night Vikings game, even if I’d be a bit distracted. Since then, we’ve bonded over traveling (most recently went to Europe in September), going to sporting events, motorcycle rides/trips, visiting our families and friends, and the company of our 2 cats (Scout and JoJo). On August 17, 2024, I planned a special day to propose to Caitlin in Stillwater, with her Mom and Kevin watching. She did not see it coming and she was quite surprised! We celebrated after with close family and friends. It was the perfect day. We’re thrilled to start this next chapter of our story and can't wait to celebrate our love with all of you at our wedding!
