We're getting married!

Justin and Erin met at the first Iowa State football game of the 2015 season. Justin was going to the game with his fraternity brothers, and Erin was headed to the stadium with the group too, unknowing about one another the whole time. While at the game two things happened. First, the group snuck a few beers into the student section. Second, after a few of those beers, Justin gained enough courage to ask Erin for her phone number to join them later at one of the famous AKL party. After many date nights spent ordering pizza, watching movies, and hanging out with our college family, Justin asked Erin to be his girlfriend! She said yes after two solid previous attempts! After three years together at Iowa State University, Justin and Erin packed up and moved to Iowa City. . . . reluctantly. Go Cyclones!

After a year of COVID lockdown, we decided to take a weekend trip to Minneapolis as our first big outing of the year! Unbeknownst to Erin, there was an ulterior motive for taking the trip. Justin called up Kristen and asked her to set up a night on the town that would have amazing views, fun drinks, and an upbeat atmosphere. While on the roof top of the Hewing Hotel with the city view behind us, Justin got down on one knee. His palms were sweaty, knees weak, arms were heavy, he was nervous, but on the surface he looked calm and ready. He prepared to talk about how much Erin means to him, but in classic Justin fashion, the only sounds to come out of his mouth were "Uhh.." and "Marry Me?"
