We met in true millennial fashion—on the dating app Hinge! Our first date was drinks in Wayzata, MN on Thanksgiving Eve 2021, and from that night on, the rest was history. For our second date, we went to Surly Brewing in Minneapolis, and quickly discovered a shared love for craft beer. In June 2022, Blake took his first trip to Kansas City to meet my parents. Naturally, we had to take him to a Stanley Fam favorite—Boulevard! Since then, stopping by Boulevard has become a tradition every time we're in town, even if it means a quick detour on the way to or from my parents’ house. We can't wait to celebrate with you at a place that is so special to us! In September 2024, Blake got down on one knee outside that same restaurant in Wayzata where we had our first date—on the dock overlooking beautiful Lake Minnetonka. He surprised me afterward with some of our closest friends. It was a perfect day we’ll never forget!
