As Prince once said, "sometimes it snows in April," so make sure to check the weekend's forecast and dress accordingly!

Here are some of our favorite indoor and outdoor activities.

Pictures, in order:

• Dinner, cocktails, and live music at Aster Cafe in Minneapolis. Our first date!

• Beers at Wandering Leaf in St. Paul. Beautiful and bright plant-filled taproom close to all the wedding festivities.

• Dinner and drinks at Holman's Table in St. Paul. Original art deco airport terminal turned restaurant right on the tarmac at the St. Paul Downtown Airport! Get the mushroom toast.

• Friday night fish fries at Church of St. John Vianney in South St. Paul. A folksy taste of 'up north' only 10 minutes from downtown St. Paul.

• Waldmann Brewery in St. Paul. A restored 1850's classic German brewery serving some of the best beer you'll find in the Twin Cities. Come back and visit for Oktoberfest, too!

• Stepchld in Northeast Minneapolis. Be warned, there's no going back to regular burgers after you've had a Cooper Burger.

• Dinner at Jax Cafe. A favorite of ours when we're feeling fancy and classy and need to celebrate something.

• Fireside in West St. Paul. Our favorite neighborhood dive that time forgot where everybody knows your name (with Happy Hour prices from yesteryear, too).

• Kura Sushi at the Mall of America. Authentic Japanese conveyor belt sushi in Bloomington, who knew?

• Degidio's in St. Paul. The best Italian in the Twin Cities and very close to all the wedding weekend action. Caprese Salad and Tortellini Bolognese are some of our faves. (Honorable mention: Bad Weather Brewing across the street!)

• Anchor Fish & Chips in Northeast Minneapolis. We've had our fare share of fish & chips both in Ireland and Great Britain but in our opinion, Anchor tops them all. Sláinte!

Pictures, in order:

• Live local music! White Squirrel, Aster Cafe, Icehouse, the Amsterdam, First Ave, 7th Street Entry, Turf Club, the 331, Berlin... we recommend all of these local venues, check the events calendar and pick one at random - the Twin Cities music scene is top tier. (However, we do not recommend nor endorse Driftwood!)

• Como Conservatory. A warm, lush, and green escape. Sometimes the word "Spring" can be false advertising in MN.
