Our Wedding

We met for the very first time in the summer of 2016 at a bar called Lord Fletchers on Lake Minnetonka which hosts sand volleyball leagues each summer. We had mutual friends who brought a team together to play that summer. We became fast friends through our similar sense of humor and competitive nature.Fast forward one year later, Emily enjoys a night out with some friends after a Twins game. They end the night at Cowboy Jack's rooftop downtown Minneapolis. It just so happens that Gregg was also having a night out downtown with a group of his friends who also ended their night at CBJ's. We bump into each other and begin catching up as we hadn't seen or spoken to each other since the prior summer. Emily mentions she's single and Gregg says, "Well, if you are going to date someone, date me." We exchange numbers and talk for a few weeks before Emily finally agrees to a first date. We go to the patio at Rojo in West End because Gregg claims "the margaritas are lights out." There was an instant connection neither of us experienced before. We went on 3 dates in 3 days and literally the rest is history.Above is our very first photo together at a Vikings tailgate a few months into us dating. We have grown together so much over the last 5 years and we can't wait to celebrate our love and marriage with each of you!Cheers!Emily &amp; Gregg
