We're so excited to celebrate with you on our NEW wedding date! 5/8/2021

*March 16, 2019* Just another, typical St. Patrick's Day weekend.. or so we thought! We were both celebrating in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. Hey, any excuse to drink green beer and socialize, am I right? Later on in the day, Elise wandered over to Tonic to meet up with a different group of friends. After realizing she hadn't had a green beer yet that day (gasp!) she went to the bar to get one. Chris was nearby and the two started chatting about sports - golf and basketball - as that was on TV. We think Chris initiated the conversation but it was St. Pat's Day and lots of adult beverages had been consumed, so who really knows. After awhile when both our separate friend groups were ready to go, they practically had to pry us away from each other. We exchanged numbers. Elise's pick up line? "Hey it's Elise, the golfer." Hook, line and sinker. Later that night, after a failed attempt to meet up once more, Chris called to make sure Elise had gotten home safely. #swoon Well, four days later was "the first date" (Dumpling Darling, RIP) and the rest? It's history… :)
