We're Getting Married!

How We Met As most love stories these days, it all started when two people swiped right on an app in June 2022. After a couple messages back and forth, we decided to not waste each others time and meet for a drink at Modist Brewing. After successfully finding a parking spot, I was ordering a beer when this man with a ponytail and orange basketball shorts walked in. We shared a couple rounds of drinks that day and hung out a couple more times….getting tacos and margaritas, and another time at the Pride parade. But then, life got a little busy for both of us and we lost touch for the next couple months. The Reconnection After the Renaissance Festival was over in October, Tom reached out and we started hanging out again. Tom introduced me to his friends at a pumpkin carving party. Then, I introduced Tom to my friends at a Rocky Horror Picture Show Halloween party dressed as Riff Raff and Magenta and from that moment on, we were inseparable. The Proposal Fast forward to the Sunday before Christmas, 2024. Tom suggested having a date day before the business of the holidays set in. Tom had us both get dressed up (yes, Tom wore a button-up shirt and real pants) and went to Como Conservatory, one of our favorite places in the Twin Cities. As we were walking among the beautiful plants and flowers, Tom suddenly got down on one knee and I screamed “YES!” Now & Forever We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of our favorite people. Thank you for being part of our love story—we can’t wait to see you on our big day!
