We’re getting married!

Our story... where do I begin?! We ORIGINALLY met at the good old Maple Tavern Bar in 2017. I was the volleyball cocktail waitress and Scott played every week in the league. He was not only the cutest player on the court but the one with the biggest heart too. After many interactions that summer, Scott caught my eye more and more (and the big tips he left me never went unnoticed) ;) We became Facebook friends, but that was it... for now. I left for college to Winona that fall and had no idea that God would eventually lead our paths to cross again when I returned home in 2020. We both matured in many ways over the years and I started growing even more in my faith. I was posting on Facebook about the church that I go to (Eaglebrook) and how much passion I had for it and Scott noticed that. He actually attended the same church! So, without hesitation, he messaged me and asked if I would like to go to church together sometime. I gladly said yes! So our first date was church. What a great way to start the foundation of our relationship! We now both volunteer as the kid's ministry leaders! When church was over, we quickly ran into Holiday Gas Station for a "delicious breakfast" that we could eat on our way to MY FIRST VIKINGS GAME! This man really nailed it when planning our first date :) We continued to go to church every Sunday together and started hanging out more & more. Months passed and eventually led into years & then... on Oct. 9th, 2021, Scott proposed to me on the beach in Cabo! The morning started with a sunrise picnic, followed by a professional photoshoot (got engaged mid-session), and then we went on a sailboat cruise that also included snorkeling. I'm telling you.. this man knows how to make special moments THE BEST! I can't explain how blessed I am to soon be his WIFE! We are both marrying into such amazing families and have the biggest support crew behind us. As long as we keep our faith as the foundation of our marriage, I am certain we will have an amazing life ahead of us because we trust God no matter what struggles we encounter. Our story is proof that God's timing is perfect. We love you all & can't wait to celebrate with everyone on FRIDAY, Aug. 26th! See you soon :) -Maria (almost Borschke!!) :)
