We met online via bumble where we quickly discovered we had many close encounters growing up- with Claire visiting her grandparents in the Twin Cities, Josh visiting his in Upper Michigan/Northern Wisconsin, and both of us visiting family in Hayward, WI over the summer. We speculated if we'd ever bumped into each other before, like when we met Snoopy as kids! Our first date went so long we didn't realize we were the last people in the place and that they were closing up shop around us. That first week together, we had dinners, went to movies, and attended the corgi races at Canterbury Park. We've been together ever since! Now, nearly 5 years on- we've done so much together! After remote working in an office together (aka the big orange couch in our snug apartment) during the first year of the pandemic, zipping off on fun vacations, seeing musicals and going to concerts, and navigating the nutty housing market and buying our first home, we're really excited to tie the knot. (And we especially can't wait to see you all there!)
