We're getting married!

Nathan and Alexandra were each giving online dating a chance. Nate was in Eau Claire visiting friends and happened to be within the limited radius of Alex's dating app. They swiped, chatted, and immediately planned to meet for dinner. Unfortunately, they failed to realize that going to a teppanyaki restaurant and sitting at the same table as several strangers might make for an interesting first date. Nevertheless, conversation came easy and they couldn't wait to see each other again. Ten days after that first date, Nathan asked Alex to meet his family for Christmas. The following month, Nate met Alex's family. Before the new year came, it was obvious they were meant to be together. Later that year, Alex found a new pharmacy position and moved to Hastings. Life inevitably brought challenges, but they continued to love and support one another through it all. Cut to five years later... On very cold November evening, Nathan proposed overlooking the Hastings bridge - the thing that had connected them during those many months of long-distance dating. They documented it all by taking a few photos with red noses, foggy glasses, and absolutely beaming smiles. Nathan and Alexandra will be nearing their seventh anniversary by the time they say "I do". They are looking forward to having a new anniversary to celebrate and feel so honored to have you all present to celebrate their love and commitment.
