We are so excited to announce that our brand new family is growing! Because of this, along with our anticipated due date, we are unable to celebrate our wedding with you that was previously scheduled for July 17th, 2021 and have decided to cancel our celebration. Thank you for your kind words, thoughts, prayers, and support. The last year has been incredibly challenging for all. We wish you safety, health, happiness, love, and prosperity in the year to come. We can't wait for you to meet our little one!

Due to the current situation with COVID-19 and our concerns for the safety of our loved ones, we have officially changed our wedding plans: we have decided to hold a small, intimate wedding ceremony with our immediate families. Our new date is July 17th, 2021, where we will hold a vow renewal ceremony followed by our originally-intended reception. We hope that you will still celebrate with us next year. This decision did not come easily; however, we view our marriage as the union of our families and friends and we cannot imagine that day without each and every one of you. Although we are devastated to push back our celebration, we hope that the wait will make the day that much sweeter in the end. With Love, Cassie and Dylan

Thank you all for your continued patience and grace during this incredibly difficult and stressful time. We truly hope you all are well and staying safe! An update on our current situation: we are rigorously monitoring the situation and any updates to current policies with the government and large gatherings of people. Currently, we are seriously considering 3 different options on how to proceed and will be making our final decision within the next 2 weeks. We will continue to post updates to this site and once a final decision has been reached, we will be sure to let you all know exactly what that is. With love, Cassie and Dylan

Deanna (MOB) and Jaclyn (Matron of Honor) would like to announce the change of date for the Kerzie bridal shower from June 7th to July 12th. Same time, same place. Please RSVP to Jaclyn (715-768-0991) or Deanna (218-780-2987).

Hi friends and family, We want everyone to know that we are hopeful that we will still be able to celebrate our marriage with all of you on July 25th, 2020. Currently, we are planning for the wedding as normal. We always want to prioritize the health and safety of our families and community, and we’re remaining optimistic but realistic. We are planning to make a call about the event at the end of May or beginning of June. If there are any changes to our plans, we will update you via this website. In the meantime, stay safe and know you are dearly loved by us. Best wishes, Cassie & Dylan

We met at our mutual friend Danielle's birthday party. Cassie arrived early for dinner and Dylan arrived late, ordering nothing but a whiskey and wearing an old t-shirt. Later in the evening, Cassie decided to flirt (poorly) with Dylan by asking him to finish her beer for her before leaving for the next bar. Dylan obliged, but didn't seem to respond to Cassie's flirting and she wasn't sure if it was because he wasn't interested in her or that he just didn't get the hint. She decided to make another attempt at the next bar: she noticed that he had a hole in his armpit and decided that it would be a good idea to poke the hole, instantly regretting the decision. Dylan responded by saying that the hole was his AC; however, he continued to keep to himself throughout the night. Cassie still wasn't sure if Dylan was politely avoiding her because he wasn't interested or just simply not understanding that she was making miserable attempts at flirting. At the end of the night, when everyone was heading home, Cassie decided to make one last attempt by asking Dylan to grab a drink with her. He accepted and they had their first date at Iron Door Pub, where they bonded on their mutual loves of the social sciences and their nieces and nephews. Dylan was a gentleman and escorted Cassie to her car, awkwardly kissed her good night, and headed back home to Coon Rapids.

Dylan and Cassie became a one-car household in late 2018. Because of this, Dylan knew that sneaking out to ask Cassie's parents' blessing was not going to be an easy task. On the morning of the proposal day, he asked Cassie if she'd like to go for a light walk around Lake Harriet before heading out for a more rigorous hike. When we pulled up to the walking path, Dylan glanced down and found a $20 bill and figured it was a good sign. As we moved past the Lake Harriet Band Shell, Dylan looked for a spot to propose that wasn't too overpopulated and would make for a decent backdrop. As we passed two young girls walking the opposite direction, Dylan suddenly asked them if they would be willing to take a picture of us by the lake. After we posed for the picture, Dylan struggled to get the ring box out of his jacket pocket. He then opened the box upside down, got on one knee, looked up at Cassie and said... nothing. They were both in absolute shock as a thousand questions ran through Cassie's mind: How did he get the ring? Did he already ask my parents for their blessing? If so, when and how did he do that (as they only have one car and Cassie's Dad and Step Mom live on the other side of the Twin Cities while her Mom and Step Dad live 3 hours north)? For the record, Dylan rented a car and drove north and back in one day. Cassie was ready to say yes, but then realized that Dylan hadn't actually asked a question. She waited awkwardly, laughed, and finally asked, "Aren't you going to ask me something?". Dylan responded by saying, "Wanna marry me?" and Cassie said yes. <3 After crying, hugging and kissing, we headed back to the girls to retrieve our phones. Cassie hugged the girls and quickly realized that they were not huggers, and then we continued our walk because the car was parked on the opposite side of Lake Harriet.
