Our Wedding

The BrideVictoria was born in Nyack, New York where she grew up with her mom, dad and sister. They later moved to Waseca, Minnesota and spent a couple years there before they moved to Cary, North Carolina. She only lived there for a brief time before her family realized Waseca was their home and where they belonged. Her favorite childhood moments were spent on the lake with her cousins and grandparents. After highschool she went to Cosmetology school and did hair for about 5 years. About a year after she met Braeden they moved into their first home together and she went on to working at a dental clinic. The groomBraeden grew up in small town New Richland MN surrounded by the majority of his family and friends he's had since preschool. His most cherished moments were spent hunting and fishing with his dad, hanging out with his cousins that were more like siblings and spending time with all of his grandparents. When Braeden turned 21 be started working for the city of New Richland as a maintenance worker and shortly after, he met Victoria and started on his adventure as a first time homeowner. Our StoryIt all began at a hair salon Victoria was working at. Her bestfriend Nicole, was cutting Braeden’s hair when she sneakily stepped away to “grab a comb” when really she was going to the front desk to ask Victoria if she thought Braeden was cute. Victoria looked over the counter and responded “Yes” very quickly. They started talking about a month later where they then found out that they already had known eachother and spoken back in 2014. After some time of talking back and forth they went on their first date and from that day forward, they were very much inseparable. In June of 2023 they bought their first home in New Richland MN where they spent a lot of time renovating that summer with many trips and time spent with friends and family between. On August 27th they ended that summer with getting engaged and throwing a house warming party to celebrate their engagement and new home. They spend the majority of their time with their friends and huge families making lots of memories with all the people they cherish the most.
