Our Wedding

Alek and I met in Jr High, after I changed schools we lost touch. Fast forward about 11 years. We reconnected when he was back in town and had asked me to go ice fishing with him. I guess you could say we were “hooked” because we haven't left each others side since. Alek and I love to go fishing together and spend our free time outside whether it’s going for hikes, camping, bonfires, or chilling outside on our patio on summer nights. This year we went to South Dakota for Memorial Day weekend. I suggested we go for a hike in Sica Hallows State Park and come to find out he had already had a proposal planned. Alek proposed by a creek in the woods with surprise guests of close family and friends with an after party at the lake. I think it’s safe to say we realized we are each others “best catch” and he needed to “reel” me in for good.

Q + A

Hotels/Lodging 

A shuttle will be going to Rutgers Resort as well as the AmericInn in Bemidji, we have not decided on a third location yet. No hotels will block rooms so call and schedule as you normally would. There are many lodging options in Bemidji if you choose to stay elsewhere, including nearby campgrounds and State Parks. *** Rutgers Resort will allow bookings by phone only with no set price until after the new year. Reach out if you have any questions - we look forward to seeing you all this May!

Need to call to book rooms, no set prices until further into the New Year.
