Imagine this: in the desolate plains of North Dakota, where the wind cuts through your bones and the only thing colder than the weather is the small talk, two misfits found themselves entangled in a plot straight out of a Coen Brothers movie.

Their story begins in 2014, amidst the barren landscape and bleak prospects of North Dakota's frozen tundra. Daniel, with his quick wit and penchant for sarcasm, and Linn, with her no-nonsense demeanor and heart of gold, stumbled upon each other in the most mundane of places: a youth outreach program. Call it fate, call it coincidence, but whatever it was, it sparked a connection that neither of them could shake.

As they bonded over their shared circumstances (young, divorced, ambitious and underpaid... foreign to North Dakota) , Daniel and Linn found themselves drawn to each other like magnets in a snowstorm. What started as happenstance encounters soon turned into excuses to see each other, turned into lunch breaks filled with laughter and inside jokes that only they understood. They haven't missed a lunch together since.

Daniel and Linn faced their fair share of obstacles. From navigating the treacherous waters of office politics to surviving the brutal winters of the Midwest, to melding two separate families, their relationship was put to the test time and time again.

Fast forward to 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic and a cross-country move, the two had to wave goodbye to their North Dakota family and get reacquainted with their Michigan one.

As time went on and Daniel and Linn (and both kids) settled into their lives in the mitten, Daniel knew it was time to pop the question. With their kids as accomplices and a ring that sparkled brighter than a North Dakota snowdrift, he swept Linn off her feet in a move that would make even the most cynical rom-com aficionado swoon.

And now, as they stand before their loved ones, from all over country, exchanging vows and promises for a future filled with laughter and adventure, Daniel and Linn prove that love knows no bounds – not even the frozen wasteland of North Dakota. So here's to the happy couple, may your love be as enduring as a Minot winter, but a whole lot warmer.
