Our Wedding

How We Met

Our story began in the truest 21st century fashion-- online! Libby was a freshman at St. Thomas and Michael was a junior at Hamline when they both swiped right on Tinder in December 2016. We talked casually for a few months until May 2017 when Michael drove all the way up from the Twin Cities to Duluth to take Libby fishing in Lester River .... No she didn't know how to fish even though she insisted months prior that she did! After that, the rest was history! From going on countless fishing expeditions to building a house together, here's to many more adventures!

Engagement!!

Michael popped the question on March 27, 2021, one day before his 25th birthday in Whitewater State Park, the place of our first camping trip together back in July 2017. Michael was fly fishing and had caught a big brown trout and Libby started taking pictures and videos of the fish before it was released. Michael began rummaging in his backpack and pulled out a small box and asked his best friend to be his forever. And of course, she said yes!

Guest Book Cook Book

Hello all! Instead of doing a conventional guest book for our wedding we thought we'd do something a little different: a cookbook! We are asking each guest or family, (whether you are able to attend in person or not), to share their go-to dinner recipe. We thought this would be unique way to remember all the special people that helped us celebrate our day!&nbsp;Please follow link or scan QR code below. No rules, can be anything. Everyone just has that go-to homemade dinner they make when they don't know what to eat. So we want to know what yours is! Each individual guest may fill out the form or it may be completed as a family or group, whatever you choose. We are planning to combine all the recipes into one large cookbook to share with our guests via email. Deadline for submitting your recipe is October 1, 2022 to be included in the cookbook. Thanks for playing along :)
