Our Wedding

<p>Wade and Kel met the old-fashioned way—in a bar called Brickhaus, nestled in the heart of lil’ ol’ Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Their story, often retold with a mix of humor and fondness, is one Kel particularly loves to share. It was a Friday night. Wade had just finished a game with the Papermakers, feeling more ready for a shower than a night out, but his friends had convinced him otherwise. Kel, meanwhile, had just perfected her star eyeliner stamps and decided the world simply couldn’t miss them. On a Friday night, both made their way to Brickhaus. Kel was engrossed in a game of foosball when Wade approached her to ask her to buy her a drink. Kel decline, however, Wade didn’t stop there. He began to make witty comments, and Wade gave Kel the greatest gift she didn’t even know she needed—he made her laugh. Not just a polite chuckle or a casual giggle, but the kind of deep, uncontrollable laugh that shakes your entire body and leaves you wondering what on earth that sound was coming out of your own mouth. With that laugh, was an agreement of “one” drink that turned into hours of conversation. They talked, laughed, and found themselves lost in each other’s company, as though the rest of the bar had melted away. Wade, smitten, eventually asked if Kel would join him at another bar, but she declined. He left, both were unsure if they would see eachother again. The night came to an end, as all do, and at the next bar, the DJ flipped the lights on and announced it was time to leave. In that moment, Wade knew exactly what he needed to do. Back at Brickhaus, Kel and her friends were piling into a car to escape the sudden rainstorm. The back seat was full, so Kel, climbed into the trunk. The rain was coming down hard, and her friends were shouting at each other to hurry up because they were seeing a “crazy person” sprinting through the downpour.It was Wade. Wade caught the trunk door before it shut and asked Kel if he could tag along. Without hesitation, he climbed in beside her, scooting her over as though sharing a cramped, soggy trunk in the middle of a rainstorm was the most natural thing in the world. It was ridiculous and unexpected, yet somehow perfect. In that moment, Wade and Kel both realized something special was happening. That night, the stars in Kel’s eyeliner weren’t the only ones shining. In the unlikeliest of places—a bar, a trunk, in the rain—a love story began.</p>
