Our Wedding

It all started thanks to Bumble – the app that brought us together, and just like that, we hit it off like a perfect match on the field. Our first date? A laid-back walk around the lake followed by a dinner. But Amanda didn’t waste any time. On the way home, she called her parents smiling huge and said, “I can totally see this guy becoming my husband!” (Spoiler alert: she was right). From the start, Amanda saw Ryan’s loyalty and passion – they were evident straight away. He’s someone who shows up for the people he cares about, whether it’s supporting his friends, family, or cheering on his favorite Minnesota sports teams. His dedication to those around him is unwavering, and anyone lucky enough to know him feels that warmth and reliability. Ryan shares that Amanda brings joy and laughter wherever she goes. Her kindness is boundless, and her empathetic nature makes her the heart of every room she enters. She has this incredible ability to make people feel understood and valued – a true gift.&nbsp; Together, we complement each other perfectly, creating a love that’s both steady and full of life and laughter. The first year of our relationship was a little different – thanks to peak COVID – but we made the most of it by bonding over all things Minnesota sports. From the Vikings’ nail-biting games to Wild hockey, Twins baseball, the Wolves, and even golf – which, to Amanda's surprise, became something she actually enjoyed watching and playing. We spent more time in front of the TV than we’d ever imagined, but it was worth it. Sports weren’t just a hobby; they became a way for us to connect, laugh, and support each other through the highs and lows. Through every victory and defeat, Ryan’s loyalty to his teams and Amanda's joy in sharing those moments with him made it clear that we were in it together, no matter what. And speaking of “in it together,” let’s not forget our adorable cat daughter, Millie. From her mischievous antics to the way she snuggles up for cozy evenings on the couch, Millie has definitely added another layer of love and joy to our home. We both share a deep love for our family – whether it’s our parents, friends, or our fur baby – and it’s the center of everything we do. Together, we’ve built a life full of laughter, love, and adventure, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Five years later, we’re still cheering on our favorite teams, sharing quiet nights with Millie, and celebrating the biggest win of all – our love! We’re beyond excited to share our special day with all of you and celebrate the next chapter of our lives. Here’s to many more years of sports, laughter, family, friends, and happily ever after! Cheers!

Wedding Party

Q + A 

This room block is for Friday (10/10) and Saturday (10/11) night. You do not have to book for both nights, but for wedding party, out of town guests, etc. I know two nights may be preferred. These rooms within the block have 2 queen beds per room. We currently have a block of 20 rooms for this hotel and once/if that block is booked, we can add more. This is one of two hotels that will have a block and there will be transportation to and from the wedding from this hotel. The shuttle will be picking up guests at 3:15 PM from the hotel (neighboring the other hotel) to arrive at the venue between 3:30-3:40. Please give yourself enough time to use the shuttle if you plan to do so. Call ahead for early check in as they will accommodate. There are two shuttles back to the hotels at 11:00 PM &amp; 12:00 AM. The location is approximately 12 minutes away from Bunker Hills Golf Course.

While we do not have a room block for this hotel, it is available for guests to book a room. It is right next to the hotel we currently have a block for and shares a parking lot with it, therefore these guests can also use the shuttle coming at 3:15 PM to the venue and back at either 11:00 PM or 12:00 AM. If you plan to stay at this hotel and take the shuttle please be at the front of the neighboring hotel for pick up at 3:15 PM. We will have transportation to this hotel with the other hotel listed.
