Back where it all began…the month was August, the year, 2019 and both Allie & Brian had asked their mutual friends if they knew anyone that was single. Allie had just moved back from her Rocky Mountain adventure and taken a solo trip to Europe. Brian, while based in Minneapolis, had been lucky enough to travel to Israel for the second time with his lacrosse community.

Brian received Allie’s number and texted to grab a drink…only to wait a week & a half before meeting face to face. Safe to say Allie was vetting guys pretty intensely at this point. For their first date, Brian chose a speakeasy in Minneapolis. Not only was it hard to find but they were also the only ones there. After that, they explored Minneapolis together, taking dates to Minnehaha Falls, MN Nice Cream, and hammocking at Bde Maka Ska.

From the start, Allie loved Brian’s storytelling, smile, passion for lacrosse, kindness, & love for all his friends and family. For Brian, he gravitated towards Allie’s beautiful eyes, quick wit, love for being active, her competitiveness, and her passion for adventure. So, on their first Christmas Eve, Allie’s favorite time of year, Brian finally said, “I Love You!” She easily knew that she loved him too.

Fast forward…Allie and Brian have explored together through San Francisco, Denver, Seattle, and San Diego. Through all their adventures and time together, Allie and Brian discovered they wanted to be together forever. Each year, they take an annual trip to the North Shore, last year, Brian proposed on a hike near Duluth and this fall, they can’t wait to tie the knot with you and celebrate in October!
