On Sunday, February 26th, 2017, Abigail Clark walked into Keys Cafe in downtown White Bear Lake, MN. She was scheduled to meet someone named Andrew Parr for brunch, after a brief texting encounter the night before. Four hours later, the two declared that this was the best and longest "first date" they'd ever experienced.

After their next date, the two of them decided to take their relationship to the next level; by spending an evening in Downtown Minneapolis at a Minnesota Orchestra concert. After dinner at Gluek's German restaurant, a performance of The Rite of Spring, a drink at Brit's Pub, and an innocent goodnight kiss (thanks, Abby), they knew they had something special. This evening, unbeknownst to them, would hold much significance in their lives.

Over the next four years, the two encountered several changes in job, living situation, and television program allegiance. Yet through the changes, their appreciation of and dedication to one another grew exponentially.

Four years to the day of their first meeting, Andrew and Abby had plans to celebrate their milestone. Before heading out to dinner, Andrew and Abby took turns playing some songs on the piano. While Andrew took his turn, Abby sat in her designated mustard-colored armchair. Andrew later joined her and sat in his chair and casually mentioned to Abby that the throw pillow behind her was backward. As Abby flipped the pillow around she discovered a small black box. In excitement and confusion, Abby passed the box to Andrew and Mr. Parr announced he was going to propose. After sharing some beautiful words, Andrew got down on one knee and asked Abby to marry him. The answer was YES!

Andrew and Abby cannot wait to begin this next chapter of life together and are so excited to have all of their family, friends and loved ones be present for their wedding day!

We cannot wait to celebrate with you!
