Our Wedding

The year was 2005 it was summer in Eden Prairie and both Jessica &amp; Conrad were working at Flagship Athletic Club, the BEST summer job. Jessica worked outside at the pool and Conrad worked inside at the restaurant. Conrads sister (Alyssa) worked outside that summer at the pool along side Jessica. Conrad would come outside to visit his sister and one early evening their paths crossed. Jessica thought he was cute and charming. Since she was friends with Alyssa, she hinted at her little crush on Conrad. Alyssa told Jessica that he was off limits and that was the end, or so we thought. Years passed by and the facebook algorithum kept suggesting that they should be Facebook Friends. Then the dating apps would also continually suggest they should match. Finally in Fall of 2020 they started talking and started to plan a first date, but things just never worked out. In Spring 2022, fed up with the current dating scene she joined a christian dating app (Upward) and the first person that popped up was Conrad. They instantly matched and started talking and finally found time to go on their first date on April 16 where they shared their mutual love of dumplings. They knew that this was something and quickly grew inseparable. Jessica grew to love Conrads nephew's, Floyd and Evan, who live with Conrad on the weekend. Conrad quickly became fast friends with Penny (Jessica's dog) after they bonded over their love of playing Penny's version of Fetch.

Meghan and I first met at cheerleading tryouts at UWM. Meghan and I were quick friends, teammates and roommates. Over the years we have stayed connected despite the distance and I can't imagine her not being by my side.

Tanya and I met through volunteering at Twin Cities in Motion. We served on the same committee for 8 years and grew close doing all the fun activities for the variety of races. We love a good margarita night.

Alyssa is Conrads Sister. We met working at Flagship Athletic Club where we worked outside at the pool. Conrad worked inside and would come out to visit Alyssa, so you could say Alyssa is the one who introduced Conrad and me.

Miles Rogers

The first time i met this guy, he walked up to my fraternity in Grand Forks and wanted to pledge.  He looked like an extra from an ICP music video. I wanted nothing to do with him, I actively tired to get him banned from the house.  After a few weeks this weird guy turned into one of my best friends in the world. He’s a champion at life and Fantasy Football….until he loses the title.

No one can put a date on when Herrmann and I meet or became friends. Ever since senior year of high school we just seemed to be around each other.  During college I took many trips to Duluth to hangout with Herrmann and our friendship grew from there. Now, it’s Uncle Herrmann. Over the past 10 years he has done whatever he could to help me or anyone in my family.  I can’t thank him enough for being there for me over the past 25 years

Are you a fan of MacGyver and Bob Villa…Then meet my friend Justin. During college, his house in Duluth was regular destination for myself.  I would run away from the flatness of Grand Forks for the Rocks, Hills, and Tress of the North Shore. Now 20 years later I look up to him and the life he as put together for himself with his amazing wife and incredible kids.  I’m lucky to be called Uncle Conrad to them. I can’t wait for the next 20 years of family trips together. 

Justin Issacson

Adam is one of my oldest friends in the world. In middle school I switched schools and since that point Adam has been there. After working together for a few summers and spending most days on the frisbee golf course our friendship grew.  He is such a great father and husband. Its been so amazing to see his family grow.  I can’t wait for the next 20 years. 

Adam Scheuer

Over the past 30 years, I’ve had the privilege to see Jeff grow from a little boy with an amazing Justin Bieber haircut into a man with an incredible musical talent.  The way he is able to take an idea and create something is mind blowing to me. His love for his family and friends is something I hope everyone gets to enjoy in life. I have spent countless weekends, dinners, and family events with Jeff during the years and every time i leave thinking how much i love that kid and I can’t wait to see him again.  I’m so excited to see where his song writing career takes him.
