Our Wedding

Nate and Kelsey met in 2020 during the height of the COVID quarantine. Their friendship started while playing video games together online as a way to connect during a difficult time. When things started to open up a little, Nate and Kelsey met each other face-to-face for the first time when a group of friends went ice-skating. Their friendship continued to deepen from there. In Fall of 2021, after over a year of friendship, they decided to see if dating felt right. And it did. Kelsey had just rescued a large breed puppy named Rowan, and Nate took to being a dog dad immediately. Rowan also took to Nate, which is always a good sign. In Summer of 2022 Nate and Kelsey moved into an apartment together in Plymouth, Minnesota. Nate brought his rescued cat, May, into the home as well. The family of four was all together in the same place. Since then Nate and Kelsey have continued to adventure together and grow in their love by going on camping trips, finding time to play games together, exploring local events and venues on date nights, and taking a trip to Greece. We're so grateful for all of your love and support over the past few years. We can't wait to see what the future will bring. Thank you so much for being here and we can't wait to celebrate with you on our special day.

ACCOMODATIONS

Lodging around Pepin, Wisconsin does not include many large hotels with blocks of rooms. Primarily there are small, privately owned inns and bed and breakfasts. There is also a selection of Airbnb and Vrbo listings available. Because it is a tourist community, we highly recommend looking into lodging options as soon as possible. Wabasha is a larger community than Pepin and is about 20 minutes from the venue. Hotels are also available in Redwing which will be closer to a 45 minute drive. Lake City is 35 minutes away and Durand is 30 minutes away. Stockholm and Maiden Rock are also around 20 minutes away, We have included a selection of hotels below for our guests to look into. There is a small block of rooms at AmericInn in Wabasha and we have also blocked off the Coffee Mill Inn and Suites for the weekend of our wedding. Follow this link for a variety of local lodging put together by our venue: <a href="https://www.hiddenmeadowandbarn.com/local-lodging" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hiddenmeadowandbarn.com/local-lodging</a>
