It was the summer of 2017 when Jace and Kenzie first crossed paths. Jace was a seasoned bag room employee at Northland Country Club in Duluth, MN and Kenzie was staying up in her college town for her first summer away from the cities. With a little encouragement from the NCC members, it was not long before the two became inseparable. After a quick two months of getting to know each other and spending every possible second together, Jace was headed back to Grand Forks for his senior year of college and the start of their two years of a distance relationship. Jace and Kenzie get to look back now and be thankful for the growth this time provided for their relationship, but dang was it tough at the time. May of 2019, Kenzie graduated from UMD, and the wait was over.. They were finally living in the same city for the first time in their relationship. Over the next few years both Jace and Kenzie each moved to a number of places, got shipped out to Cleveland, Ohio together, and finally returned to MN and bought their first home. As a tribute to the place where is all began, and to fuel Jace's golfing addiction, Jace and Kenzie now attend the Northland Country Club invitational every year to have a little fun in their favorite place. To Kenzie's surprise, the 2022 invite had a little something special in store. For the year prior, Jace had planned the day down to the second. Just before they were to head down to the tournament dinner, they took a detour up to the 13th green. Jace got on one knee, and the rest was history. Family and friends were hiding near by, and they got to celebrate their picture perfect night with their people! Jace and Kenzie have continued to build their life together with the addition of their furry best friend, Auggie in January of 2023. The future Carlins are eagerly awaiting June 1, 2024 to celebrate their special love the best way they know how with the people who mean the most to them!!!
