It was June 2016 when Kelly and Derek found themselves swiping through endless potential mates on the dating app we all know as "Tinder." Long story short, they both swiped right and received the message saying..."IT'S A MATCH!" Kelly was intrigued by Derek's handsome Scandinavian features and his interest in art, and Derek by Kelly's contagious smile and her cat Francille. After long texting conversations and lots of butterflies, they went on their first date. The evening started with Japanese food on the rooftop of moto-i in uptown and ended across the street at Morrissey's Irish Pub. For Derek and Kelly, Morrissey's is where it all began. There was something about being surrounded by candlelight and live music that really sparked some romance and deep conversation. Derek and Kelly have been inseparable ever since that evening of June 10, 2016. The happy couple purchased a house in Minneapolis in July of 2017 which quickly felt like home due to Derek's handiwork and Kelly's eye for design. On August 26, 2017, Derek and Kelly were celebrating her 27th birthday on the North Shore of Minnesota. After hiking several miles in the rain, they found themselves on a cliff overlooking the most beautiful view of Lake Superior. It was there that Derek asked Kelly to marry him. She said YES! They are so lucky to have found their soulmate in each other and are looking forward to celebrating their marriage with their closest friends and family!
