Our Wedding

Marcus and Caitlin meet on June 9th, 2020. After weeks of talking, Minneapolis finally opened restaurant patios for the summer during COVID. They met at Icehouse in Minneapolis and for what was supposed to be a quick drink for a first date, Caitlin and Marcus stayed until the bartend politely asked them to leave. 6 or so months later, Marcus moved in with Caitlin. Soon after, they welcomed their Golden Doodle puppy Louie. On December 11th, Marcus took Caitlin to Duluth for her birthday. They walked through Bentleyville to see the beautiful display of Christmas lights, had a wonderful dinner in the middle of the woods, and then when she least expected it- Marcus popped the question. Caitlin and Marcus are so excited to start this next chapter of their lives together as their story is only getting started.
