The scene is set, just a guy and a girl in December of 2020. While the world shut down again, nothing could stop TJ and Jill from meeting the old fashioned way. Online.

It all started with a love for the Vikings, a search for a kind person with a good sense of humor, and tequila. Always tequila.

Over the past 3 years, we have enjoyed experiencing all fathoms of life together whether traveling, coaching, golfing, or wrangling two rambunctious and loving dogs, Roonie & Gus.

It was a slow burn kind of love where neither of us could pick an exact day in which we knew we were meant for each other, but spread out over a compilation of time spent together where our love blossomed to where we are today - getting hitched!

Just like every weekend in the fall, TJ's proposal was centered around Vikings football, although leave it to MN to make something seemingly straightforward into anything but. With the ring securely packed away in TJ's bag. We set out for Hudson to watch the Vikings play the Colts on a chilly Saturday in December. Not too long after, tensions were high driving from the bar to Hotel Crosby in Stillwater as the Vikings went into half down 33-0.

Up to the rooftop hot-tub we went, enjoying the beautiful, winter snowfall and some frosty libations, trying not to let the game ruin a wonderful weekend together in Stillwater. Until....slowly, but surely, the game started to turn and the Vikings cut the lead to 15 early in the 4th. Something told TJ this was the moment, so he made up an excuse to run back down to the room and grab the ring, and moments after Adam Theilen scored to bring it to a one score game, he got down on one knee and popped the question. Excitement, happiness, and shock came next as Jill said "YES!!!" and the celebration commenced. Of course, where would the poetry be if the Vikings didn't end up tying the game 3 minutes later and winning in overtime. At least once, they didn't let us down!

Now here we are, one and a half year's later, getting ready to walk down the aisle, say "I do", and celebrate our love with you all!

Your presence is more than enough, but if you wish to give a gift, or contribute to our honeymoon fund or home improvement fund, we would be greatly appreciative. You can find the registry below.
