Eric and Kenzie originally started talking on facebook. Kenzie had been bowling with a group of friends one night, and someone name Eric had tried introducing themselves to her, and she did not really notice until after the night was over. The next day there was someone named Eric in her 'People You May Know' on Facebook, she messaged him and apologized for the night before. Eric responded by saying "You must have the wrong guy. I was working last night.... In Iowa". *Imagine Kenzie's embarrassment* The two continued the conversation and met up the next weekend with some friends together and hit it off. Due to Eric working out of state during the week, the two spent their weekends driving back and fourth from Becker ---> Howard Lake, for a year and a half before buying their first home in Cokato, MN.
The day started out by Eric & Kenzie going to trya new resturant. The bride and groom really enjoy going to “hole-in-the-wall type” of resurants. So that morning without any plan, they went to Mickey’s Diner in Minneapolis. After that they decided to head to Stillwater and explore for the day. The two went to differnet antique shops, enjoyed the cities “Lumber Jack Days”, and even went to a candy shop! Kenzie also found a jewlery store called “Stokes Jewlery” (ironically) and took a picture of herself in front of it. A few hours later the two decided to go look for a waterfall off the beaten trail that they had read about online. Once they found the waterfall, ropelled down the cliff, and got to the bottom, there just so happened to be a father and his daughter there too. Eric asked them to get a picture of the two, and thats when Eric, in front of the waterfall, got down on one knee, and purposed to Kenzie. And it just so happened the person taking the picture did a great job of snapping a few pictures of it!
