Our Wedding

Our love story began before we even saw each other... on a dating app. We first locked eyes on February 2, 2023, at Punch Bowl Social, a fun restaurant in St Louis Park that has arcade games and a bowling alley. We grabbed our drinks and played some arcade games. Ele, of course, kept winning against Kyle so after 15 minutes in he made dinner reservations at Wakame Sushi restaurant nearby. We were sat at the sushi bar next to another couple that couldn't keep their hands off each other. Maybe they sparked something in us or maybe we felt like we had to show them up, so our very first kiss was at that sushi bar. Kyle was great at planning fun dates for us. Our next date was downtown Minneapolis at Thr3 Jack's golf simulator. For those who know us best, know we are both competitive people. Although, losing probably affects Kyle a little bit more, which makes winning against him even more fun. Ele, like the champ she is, won against Kyle in a game of darts on the golf simulator. We ended our second date on the Hewing Hotel rooftop for a night cap. Coincidentally, our third date landed on Valentine's Day. Like the gentleman he is, Kyle presented Ele with a bouquet of red roses. Our competitive streak continued with a night of bowling. Kyle took the win on this game. We realized we are both winners when we are with each other. We enjoy spending time together, win or lose, and know what we have is really special.We were always winning from the beginning, andTHE REST IS HISTORY!
