Tommy and Meredith met at Gustavus Adolphus College, Tommy was a Junior and Meredith was a Freshman. Ashley (Tommy's Sister) introduced the two and convinced them to go on a date. Tommy took Meredith to dinner on her 19th birthday - April 26, 2013. On May 26th, 2013 he asked her to be his girlfriend.

Following their 6 year anniversary, Tommy proposed to Meredith on June 15th at his Aunt and Uncle's house on Lake Minnewashta. He brought her down to the lake where there was a bonfire. After putting wood in the fire, he grabbed her hands and asked her to marry him. Meredith cried happy tears and screamed "YES!", Tommy's cousin (Paige) and sister (Ashley) recorded the proposal by hiding - Paige was in their boat and Ashley was behind a tree. Meredith's family and Tommy's grandparents surprised the two by coming out of the boathouse and Tommy's family cheered from the balcony. The night concluded with champagne and fireworks. We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you all. Cheers!
